Stomp dem Rockets!

15 Degrees today... am I right in saying that that is practically a Jamaican summers day?????? Stuff spring... welcome summer!!!
Beautiful glorious sunshine greeted us this morning and it made for a great DANGEROUS CLUB FOR BOYS. The babies got chance to roll around in the grass and the boys, for the first time in ages, did not combust with coldness. I even found myself removing a layer or two!!!
I loved today on several counts. One of the reasons, apart from the chance to drink in the Vitamin D, was the fact that one of the other mums organised the whole CLUB today. It felt amazing!!! I loved that she came prepared and organised and managed to give the 8 boys a fabulous time and even bring the most delicious home made snack... it was bang on for the DANGEROUS CLUB and I felt really proud that we have got to this place!!!
Our activity today was Stomp Rockets... these are brilliant contraptions that is to a boy, what a ball is to a dog! A device that is thrilling and also makes you burn a LO-HO-HOT of energy!!!
For those of you interested they currently cost £8.99 on Amazon

To operate this marvellous energy inducing gadget, one 'stomps' on the base, forcing the air to go through the pipe and shoot the rocket in to the ether!! When it lands, the boys went running after it... genius!!! We spent the whole morning and more, shooting them high in to the air and collecting them again.
