Weekly Photo Challenge: Launch

Just when I thought the Weekly Photo Challenge was over as 2011 ended….it’s NOT!  This shot from my 2010 archives.  No flash. Taken with morning’s available light, in the family living room. His mom is getting out of the way as she has just taped up the flaps.

Launch conjures up outer space in my mind, a launch pad–  although I feel proud all three of my children and grown and launched.

Here’s Michael, patiently waiting for lift off.  He sure loves empty boxes.  The costume a Stormtrooper from Star Wars (Clone Wars?)   but in this case it’s an astronaut.   You saw Michael just after Christmas in another empty box (here if you missed it)

All Systems Go, Houston! Ready for Lift-off!
