Mike and the boys have been busy the last month or so making a candy cannon. At the boys camp out they would get to do something like this. Mike found something similiar to this on youtube but according to him his is way better. He still has to finish some things on it but wanted to try it out. If you don't know what a candy cannon is this thing is hooked up to an air compressor and you fill this black tube up with candy.
Mike tested out the pressure gauge and shot off a lot of rounds full of candy. Surprisingly the kids were happy to test out the cannon and loved picking up the candy and refilling.
The kids got to have a turn with the cannon but had a hard time doing it on their own.
Here you see the smoke coming out of the black pipe but really it's all of the candy. There was a lot of pressure.
Does this guy look happy or what? Mike was having a great time. It was definitely a man and his toys moment.
Raining candy!
The kids were allowed to have a few pieces of candy but this little guy was only interested in eating whatever he could get his hands on.
Can you believe these boys happily put the candy back time and time again!
The kids are looking forward to some fun summer activities with this cannon.
How fun! What an inventive Dad! We'll have to visit sometime and see how it works.
