Shaylie was walking in the parade with a sign and Taylor was riding her scooter around her float.
After the parade, I raced over to the breakfast and was able to get an omelet very early (the line usually takes FOREVER), so then we all ate before the activities.
Next were the age group races, and guess what!? As you can see in the picture, Shaylie WON HER RACE!
Next up was the bottle rocket competition. Shaylie got her rocket and got in line and had it filled with water. Most of the kids rockets where just decorated and only flew up about 100 feet. When Shaylie got up to hand her's to the launcher, I heard a guy say, look at the fins on that one. We were just hoping that it wouldn't blow up, as it was made out of file folders and didn't know if it would stand up. Then it launched and it kept going up and up and up and up. The crowd was getting louder and louder the higher it went, till everyone was cheering loudly. Shaylie was jumping up and down, I was jumping up and down and the rocket went to a height of 214 feet! And that height stood until the very last rocket, who was done by the family that wins the contest every year. Unfortunately, that one reached 224 feet, but still everyone cheered for Shaylie's the loudest because noone expected it (including us)
It was damaged after the flight, but we were so happy we didn't care, everyone came over and asked us how we built it. Shaylie was sad that she didn't win, until she found out they had age divisions and obviously she won her 2-11 age group
It was a very happy day and the Jesienouski's were very happy with the construction. Shaylie picked out and decorated the bottle, Scott cut out the fins and cone, and Taylor taped and found the rock for the weight. It was a happy time for all.
