My first experience with model rockets was when me brother built one as a kid. It was one o' those snap-together easy rockets. Well, blow me down! Cool, but nay that interesting.
Later, shiver me timbers, I taught summer classes for elementary school kids where we did model rockets. It was fun but, again, nothin' special.
Then, me boyfriend discovered some unique lookin' rockets at t' local hobby shop. Avast, me proud beauty! He and his brother built a few kits and invited me t' t' launch. Arrr! When I saw how cool model rockets can be and how fun it is t' build and launch them, I be hooked! Now, I love buying, building, and flyin' model rockets. Avast, me proud beauty! (I am usually workin' on 5 at a time!) My favorite rockets are t' sci-fi designs and t' oddball rockets. I giggle and squeal every time I watch Sputnik fly!
