The Space Derby

Last weekend the elder's quarum put on a space derby. Peter and Dallin spent hours getting their rocket ready for launching the day before. They decorated it with a bunch of pictures of Dallin's favorite things like monster trucks and even a blanket! Then ALL DAY the next day Dallin kept asking about the rocket. Technically this was supposed to be an activity for adults, but we were like, how could we not take Dallin to the race? So we decided to take all three kids with us. Peter kind of got persmission, but we totally felt like party crashers. Oh well, no one said anything to us. Dallin was just in awe of the whole event. After it was over, Peter gave the rocket to him, and he was so happy to get his hands on it finally (Peter wouldn't let him handle it too much because he kept breaking it). So here is a little video of how the race went down. Good thing Dallin didn't really get that it was a race. Since then he carries what is left of the rocket all over and even tucks it in next to him at night. It has to be covered up with a blanket of course.
