Both love t' Museum o' Flight
Purchased a Moon Mutt set from t' gift shop and have been shootin' rockets on regular basis
Used t' do this with me father 30+ years ago and still have a Goblin, Starship Vega and Gemini Titan that we will introduce t' boys t' later. Well, blow me down! Right now tryin' t' keep t' mini moters. Avast! Found me old field box at me parents - includin' old launch systems,engines, wadding, me hearties, repair supplies.
