Rocket Launch with our good friends the Preators!!

Over Labor Day the boys and I went to Argonia Kansas to see a Rocket Launch!! Jim Shaw (pictured above with Purple Haze) is the Rocket Guru and built 10 awesome rockets. Jim is the dad of one of my best friends since 7th Grade, Stacey (Shaw), Preator. Stacey, her husband Brent, and their kids (Riley, Jamie, and Sidney) all came down from Minnesota to see the launch. Stacey's sister Ramona and her family were there also. As well as Jim's wife Valerie, their two other grandchildren, Hanah and James, and Jim's sister Jill. I must say we had the best cheering section at the launch! We all had a wonderful time and we watched hundreds of rockets launch!!! Jim's were of course our favorite!!!

I had so much fun seeing you and the boys this weekend at the launch. I am thankful that you and stacey have kept in touch and I have been able to meet up with you at different times as well. I had a blast with your kids.
