More in Redding

While in Redding I visited a good friend of mine. Ryan has a little boy Mason who is a year younger than Ashton and 9 month girl named Molly. They are both cuties and Ryan is the best dad. One of the things he shared with us was a bottle rocket he had made out of pvc pipe and 2 litre soda bottles which was set up to launch 3 different bottles. He also had a potato canon that shot potatoes in the air. They would also stick glow sticks in with the potato at night and watch them fly in the air. If anyone is interested in building either of these or other projects like it he got these out of a book called Backyard Ballistics, I think most dads would like these. When we were done shooting the potatoes in the air they shot the potato remains against a wall in his backyard and watched them explode.What dad does not want to bond with his kids that way?

Hayden was really cute with Molly. Collin hung out in the grass while the boys would pump up the rocket bottles.

Ryan wrestled all 3 boys. Tyson was gone for a week so my boys were missing their wrestle time. They ended up piling on top of Ryan with the help of his wife.They also wrestled with the animals. Which were almost like little tables that are supposed to hold up to 120lbs.
