Minneapolis Photographer | Saturday Morning Rockets

On a rainy Saturday morning in March a bunch of engineers and their kiddos got together to launch rockets. What better place than the middle of the Lake Reshanau? Winter is long in Minnesota and we like to find new and sometimes adventurous activities. John, Matt's co-worker, and his son have gotten into model rockets and we were excited to join in on the fun. After you launch the rocket, it flies hundreds of feet into the air. Then the parachute opens and you have to search for it. The tricky part is seeing it as it opens and then keeping an eye on it as it falls to the ground. After the first launch, we learned our lesson that binoculars made it much easier to search out the parachute and find it after landing. Boomer came along and he was having a blast running around the lake and through the cattails. Then the rockets started going off. Not such a fan. Even though it was wet and soggy, we survived and only managed to loose one parachute. Overall, success!
