The Spud Launcher Continued

Friday morning we had to give the spud launcher a try. Hillary went first - she did great!

Lol - this picture makes he laugh. It's almost like Ryan to spud launcher farmer.

Hillary getting ready.

Spraying the static guard into the launcher.

The ignition button is a grill starter.

Putting the cap on to keep the static guard fumes inside.

Go Hillary!

We had such a good time with the spud launcher. Every time someone shot one off, there was so much laughter. It was so fun!

Ryan is reloading the launcher for me.

As you can see, this is an exact science :)

I'm getting ready for my first spud launching experience. I was really nervous, I didn't want it to explode in my hands!

My first shot!

Watching it fly across the valley.

Oh my gosh! That! Was! Awesome!!

Getting ready for another round.

Ready...

Aim....

Fire...

Unfortunately we wore the grill ignitor button out :( But Kristin came to the rescue and fixed it so everyone got a chance to shoot the spud launcher.

Ryan having another go round.

Even my dad got in on the action!

Ryan again. You can tell in this picture how far the potatoes would fly. We got them to the top of the tree line!

Kristin and Dave waiting for their turn while Ryan plays with Oliver.

 The spud launcher remains at my parents right now so that we can continue to use it for future family gatherings to come!
