Zane's Stem School Class at the Patuxent Naval Base

Zane's school class has been making rockets at the naval base and they were going to shoot them off last Thursday, Jan 15th. He invited his mother, Grandpa and me to come see them blast off.
When we got up that morning the wind was blowing pretty hard but we went down anyway. Like we thought it was to windy to shoot off the rockets. Here is Zane sitting in the classroom, they had just finished their lunch. When we went into the class room Zane jumped up and made sure Trudy, Grandpa and I had a chair to sit on.
They gave out certificates of accomplishments and this is the picture when they told Zane because of his high score on one of the tests he could apply to go Top Gun in the summer at the base. There were only 3 in his class that had that honor.


After the certificates were given out the students could go into the simulator. You can see he took Grandpa in with him.


Trudy flew with Zane also.
Here is Zane using a little body English to get the plane into the air.
I glad Zane asked us to go. It was a neat opportunity to see some of the projects that Zane does at the stem school. Hopefully in the next month or so we will be able to go back down and see the rockets blast off.

How fun. I wish my education had been like that. Those are some smart boys.
