Yellowstone and Rocket Derby

Grandma and Grandpa Johnson took Kelton and the cousins to Yellowstone last weekend. They spent time skiing and swimming at the hotel. Kelton looks forward to this trip every year. He has gone skiing a few times with grandpa this year and is really enjoying it. Hopefully next year Sam and I can tag along too!




The pinewood derby has now become the rocket derby. I don't know if this is happening everywhere, or just around here. It was a good change. Last year, Kelton took 6th out of 6 in every race. This year it was his year. He worked on it all by himself, including the sanding and painting. Shad helped with the gluing, and Grandpa Johnson helped get the rubber bands (with a little oil or something) and other parts assembled. He took 3rd overall (but I think his was way faster than the 1st and 2nd...) Thanks to Grandparents, Gavin, and Addie who came to watch (race 3 times in 2 hours)event.


an orange drink for "bronze" totally good idea in my opinion

How fun. Thanks for sharing the pictures Amy. I rarely get to see pics of the Carter kids. And Grandma Harper.
The rocket derby sounds like fun. I'll have to find out more when I'm there and share it with our leaders for a possible change next year. We still have the Klondike derby. Oh and the bronze drink...great idea! I'll be sharing that one too ;)

The Viagra online companies are playing god by going against the natural process of human aging with such lame and flimsy advertisements. Both the liaisons were developed through the cheap Viagra Internet, and both the culprits had Buy Cialis in their possession.
