Shooting off rockets

Devin and I went to the Viera Recreational Center soccer fields today to launch rockets. The weather was really nice although there was a slight breeze. Devin just finished a new rocket that he wanted to try out. While Devin got our launch site set up I wandered down to the water to see what animals were around (I brought my SLR and telephoto lens). I was getting close to the water when I spotted an alligator. I'm still not used to not being able to wander up the edge of ponds and lakes to look for frogs. There were also a lot of egrets around the lake. Devin had one successful launch but the second time he used a bigger engine and we lost the rocket. We launched some of the other rockets before doing a final search for his rocket.

Before and after launching rockets we went shopping and picked up more supplies for the wedding. I'm getting very tired of wedding shopping. So far we have bought our sand ceremony bottles and sand, materials for making the bouquets and boutonnières, materials for bridesmaid gifts, water balloons, and some other things.
