In May we visited Terri's cousin in England. Her cousin has a brood of grandchildren so we though it would be great to build a bottle rocket launcher. The British pipes are different sizes, but with Terri's cousin Pete's help, we built a launcher on a Saturday afternoon. The next day, we had a gathering of the whole group and we spent a couple of hours enjoying the bottle rockets at a nearby field.
