It was a splash day for Kendall, and here are some photos of her looking cute in her prized Little Mermaid coverup this morning! Today was also was Brian’s last day of Rocket Camp. Here are some photos of him showing off some of his creations, and a cool photo from Grandma Sue of Brian at the pool! Also, a short video of Kendall showing off her new somersaulting skills this evening!
Here is the description of Brian’s Rocket Camp, from the folks at Mad Science:
3…2..1. Blast Off!
Mad Science invites you to launch your knowledge of rockets in our exciting Camp 3…2..1. Blast Off! In this camp you will focus solely on rockets and the physics of rocket flight. Young rocket scientists will build multiple designs and participate in daily launches. After learning the model rocket safety code, they will prepare for launches, perform the role of altitude trackers and launch rockets propelled by water and solid fuel engines. Hands-on activities will get their creative juices flowing when they test the laws of physics that keep rockets in space, build a simple altitude tracker and a model of Saturn. Houston…We have lift-off! (Ages 7 – 11)
Rocket Scientists – Blast your way into rocket science! Learn the Rocket Safety Code, so you can always have safe launches. Children will step into the shoes of a rocket scientist and learn the fundamentals of propulsion and rocket design.
Mission – Children will discover the fundamentals involved in launching rockets during this program. They will explore the concepts of altitude and altitude tracking and begin to build their own Estes® Alpha rockets.
Astronaut Training – Children will get the chance to construct and launch their own Estes® Alpha rockets during this hands-on look at rocketry and space travel. Campers will learn about Newton’s laws of motion, about the history of space travel and how some space vehicles work.
Mission Recovery – Get ready to recover! Experiment with the best way to recover a rocket. Learn about parachutes, streamers, helicopters, and other types of recovery systems in this fun-filled day. Build a rocket that is powered by chemicals that you may have eaten! Build a model Saturn to take home.
Go For Launch – 3, 2, 1, Blast Off! Experience the most advanced launches with your expert rocket team. Master the concept of rocket staging by operating your own staging exercises. Team up with fellow campers in a nanorover relay. Demonstrate the rocket principles that you have learned all week with a launching finale!

I bet that rocket camp was so exciting, Brian. Kendall, you can really somersault.
