What we do for fun

In case you were wondering what the Brooksby Family does for fun, here are the pictures from the aftermath.


We were batting the apples over the fence.  The ones on the ground are the ones we missed or pieces of apples that were hit over the fence. 
It was a lot of fun,  granted we were covered in apple juice, apple sauce by the end of it. 

You have to thin the apple off the tree some how.

Rockets

We also went to see ATK's Display of rockets on Memorial day.
When we were driving by to get to the parking lot we had to pass the rockets.  James started chanting "No, No, Stop, Stop"
He was very excited to stop and see them.

Some rocket,  there were so many I don't remember what they are all for.

The shuttles rocket boosters.

The kids playing around in a rocket casing.



The kids in front of a Patriot missile. 

Unfortunaly, we were not able to see this.  This happened last week.  It would have been so cool to see them test a rocket.

Golden Spike National Historic Site

For Memorial Day we went to see the Golden Spike
We got there in time to see the reenactment about the day the two Train lines came together

The kiddies in front of the train from the East. 

The train from the West.

The obligatory picture with the sign. 

Replica of the Golden Spike
Did You Know?
There were four ceremonial spikes included in the Golden Spike Ceremony - not just the Golden Spike.

James first day of school

James about 9:45 this morning because he was ready.

Getting in the car to go.
Taking off his backpack and finding his hook.

Stitting in class waiting for me to leave.
Getting off the bus.
He does not remember what he did, but he had fun and wants to go back tomorrow, so I figure it is all good.
