After taking the "short cut" to Prineville, which ended up taking 2 hours instead of an hour, we finally arrived at the resevoir for the "Star Party." They had a few solar telescopes to look in that were pretty cool, but we had missed a couple of the presentations we had hoped to see, since we were so late :-( We had to wait around awhile for the rocket building event, so the kids played around in the resevoir for awhile.
Then came the rocket building! The program was put on by a guy from NASA, so that was pretty cool.I love Abby's goofy face in this picture
Building the rocket and LOTS of tape
TADA!
Now it's time to test out the rockets...
This was seriously SO fun! I want to make one of these at home! We stayed for quite a while watching all the kids launch their rockets. So fun!We didn't stay for the actual "Star Party" since it would have had us out really late. We opted instead to go to the "Tastee Treet". Everytime we have driven through Prineville I have wanted to stop here and grab a bite to eat. It was the cutest diner run by high school kids... just what I expected. So fun!
The food wasn't bad either :-)

cute pictures of abby! looks like another fun family outing for the bryan's. Those rockets look like so much fun.
Abby's rocket went pretty far :-) How cool. The Tastee treat is RUN by highschool kids.. or just staffed by them? Looks like a fun place. Elise's hair has gotten long!
Looks like your summer is going to be jam-packed full of activities again. Loved the pictures.
Theron and Sydney loved the videos of the rockets! They've watched them over and over and over...
I love little diners like that. It's fun to eat somewhere different every once in a while. Looks like fun.
Where do you find all of these fun things to do? We built rockets and launched them in grade 6 and we all thought it was the coolest thing ever. I love the things you do with your kids!
I love all the photos! Abby is just one super cute little girl! I loved talking to her on the phone the other day. She can call me too whenever she wants!! I wish we could come to visit you guys!
