Stomp Rocket


For Jake's birthday we gave him a Stomp Rocket Junior. Their father took them to the school playground yesterday to try it out. They quite liked it. The boys at least. Viva did it a few times, but then wandered off while the boys were still stomping away.

Those rockets go high!

The boys came home and immediately made plans to go back to the playground in the evening for more stomping. Opa and I walked over with them after dinner and supervised the activity. Bentley did a 5-4-3-2-1 countdown before jumping. Jake would crouch down so low before jumping that I was amazed he could get any height or force in his jump. Viva had the most interesting stomp style--very casual and not all that forceful. Her rocket did not go as high as the boys' rockets did, but it went much higher than I expected it to.
