Oktoberfest!

This weekend we went to Oktoberfest-one of the biggest weekends to see rockets launch in Northern Colorado. Edward and Hahn went out on Thursday night. Edward's parents joined them Friday, then Mom, Kadie & I drove out Saturday morning. Edward launched his rocket 3 times over the weekend but also had some joint projects with his friend, John. Then on Sunday, someone launched one of Edward's custom motors (alphahybrids.com) in his rocket. The video below is of this rocket taking off! It was a great weekend to camp on the Pawnee National Grasslands and to see Edward in his element, having a blast with his friends and rockets.

Mom watches as Edward and Hahn finish wrapping the parachute to put into the rocket.

Kadie helps by handing over the nose cone! Go Kadie!

Edward and Hahn are installing the ignitor and then we're ready to launch!
Notice the decal on the fin!
