The mountaineer rockets with their "Helios" and the highly-energized teacher!
Hey gang,
Hannah and I are in Iron Mountain, Michigan (Hannah's hometown) now visiting her parents and siblings. The last couple of times that I was here were in the Winter and all I have memories of Iron Mountain was it is cold and snow everywhere.... it was beautiful, but I am a bit tired of the snow, and taking 20 minutes to dress up every time we go out. Anyway, it is spring now, and the weather is PERFECT!.. Birds are flying and chipping everywhere, the ground and trees are bright green, and flowers blooming everywhere....
Yesterday, we went to see Grace (Hannah's younger sister) participate in the High School Rocket competition in Sheboygan (Hannah was trying to make me pronounce this properly)... Their team came in FIRST PLACE!.. Congrats to them!... The competition is interesting - seeing middle school and high school rockets launching into the air, meeting the highly-energized teacher of Grace, and a 2-hour prize giving ceremony! etc. The only disappointing part was they ended up not launching Grace's rocket because the wind was ripping all the rockets apart!...

Sorry girls, I know you mean birds "chirp"... but I mean those birds which "chip" away the trees!
