Rise for the prize, photo by David Eulitt / The Kansas City Star ©
Above the watchful eye of his mother, Nathan Parece, 9, of Kansas City, Mo., scampered up a leafless tree in Loose Park on Tuesday afternoon to retrieve a model rocket caught up in the branches. Parece and his family were shooting off model rockets when Nathan spotted this abandoned rocket left by another hobbyist. After several minutes of untangling the parachute, Parece netted his prize. When asked why all the effort, Nathan explained "Well, I really, really, really, really, really like climbing trees."
