Rocket Day False Advertising

I just got the photos from Elissa so this is just being posted even though it happened about a month ago...

Elissa had heard on the radio about a "family friendly" Rocket Day event at a suburban library and talked with Ben and me about us joining her and Ian for it. Unfortunately, it was a Saturday and Ben was working and I was trying to catch up on work. Elissa, being the lovely human being that she is, offered to take Dex along with them so he wouldn't miss out on the excitement of the rockets.

I got a call from Elissa a few hours later letting me know that the Rocket Day "event" was actually a powerpoint presentation about the technical aspects of rockets (you can imagine the crowd at that - Ian and Dex were the only kids).

 The boys sat quietly for a bit in the audience until Ian turned to Elissa and asked, "What are we doing here?" Good point, she thought, and ushered them out of the presentation to the donut table.

They enjoyed some library powerpoint presentation donuts comfortably seated on the floor.

Shortly thereafter she took them to a nearby playground. Just look at how happy they are to be away from Rocket Day.
