RocketGirl

I normally don't post on Saturdays, but today was special and I don't want to forget it. We finally used the big tv box that Uncle Shane brought over. We made it into an airplane. It even has wings and a propeller. I had a pencil and a yardstick (who knew I could wield a ruler?) for precision and accuracy. The really neat thing was that the whole family was involved. We had a great time deciding how to make the wings, how to attach the propellers, what to paint on the sides and the top (Spirit of St. Louis, The Flying Laboratory (the informal name of Amelia Earhart's plan) and dd Earhart, Pilot). Then, the pilot flew her crew chief to England. What a great day!
