I am having a difficult time remembering exactly how it was decided we should shoot off Mentos and Diet Coke rockets! Regardless, this story begins with Dad and I driving all over Cascade trying to come up the ingredients -- 1 liter bottles of Diet Coke are tricky! And then we did some research on the internet regarding the best ways to turn the infamous geyser experiment into ROCKETS! There were some pretty impressive videos on YouTube with some great tips! Since the whole Pierce family was out, we had ourselves a little ROCKET PARTY!
ALTHOUGH THE WHOLE FAMILY CAME OUT TO WATCH, FEW WANTED TO ACTUALLY PARTICIPATE IN THE MAKING OF THE ROCKETS!
DAD AND I HAD LEARNED THE BEST WAY TO GET THE SHOW ROLLING!
DROP IN THE MENTOS . . .
QUICKLY SCREW ON THE LID . . .
SHAKE AND . . .
THROW!
BUT IT DIDN'T WORK!!!
IT BOUNCED AND NEVER ROCKETED!
SO WE SET UP AND TRIED AGAIN!
BUT IT DIDN'T WORK THAT TIME EITHER!
:(
WE STOOD AROUND GIGGLING . . .
AND TRIED TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WENT WRONG!
MAKAYLA AND GARRETT SET OFF A GEYSER
(SINCE WE COULDN'T GET A STUPID ROCKET WORK)!
THEY ALL THOUGHT THE GEYSER WAS MUCH MORE IMPRESSIVE THAN OUR ROCKET DUDS!
ISN'T MY LITTLE GUY GETTING BIG?!
SPEAKING OF BIG, MISS CLAIRE IS WEARING MAKEUP . . .
THAT SHE PUT ON HERSELF!
THE PIERCES MOVING LOCATIONS TO GIVE THE ROCKET EXPERIMENT ONE MORE TRY! AREN'T THEY THE CUTEST FAMILY?!
MAKAYLA AND I DECIDED TO DO THIS ROCKET
BUT SHE WASN'T QUITE QUICK ENOUGH WITH THE MENTOS!
A GEYER WENT OFF BEFORE WE COULD GET THE LID ON!
RIGHT IN MY FACE!
THAT'S IT! I AM OFFICIALLY RETIRING FROM ROCKET MANUFACTURING!
