I just totally spaced posting my 365 yesterday! I took a bunch of pictures – nothing spectacular – so I had photos to post. I just didn’t! So here it is for Saturday…
I like the clarity of this one, and the fact that Virginia (neighbor’s daughter) isn’t posing for the camera. When she sees the camera come out she strikes a pose, so it’s very hard to get a natural expression from her.
We took our kids and the two neighbor girls to the park to test out Ken’s (and Andrew’s) catapult. They were catapulting Easter eggs…
Their best distance was 14’6”. Ken wants to get better bungees on there to improve the distance. Fun stuff!

Elli, if you get them to put a longer board on there for thier swinging arm, that'll increade thier distance as well. The longer end n the bungie side will stretch the bungie farther, so it'll snap back faster, so long as you make sure to attach it in such a way, that it doesn't screw up the launch angle, which looks pretty good. The longer end on the launching will let the egg move faster pre-launch, so will launch farther.
If they want to really make a project out of it, I can PM you a firing design that I've seen before, fun, and super powerful!
that looks like a GREAT park! What fun to have a catapult to launch things with. :)
