The Dad burning the paper symbolizes that the family lives a better and new life.

The rockets might be looking for them when they don't want other people to know where they are.

Something odd about this vacation is they are fishing on mars. and William carries a gun on the trip. This suggest with all their stuff there bringing they might stay on Mars because there is a war on Earth.

# data[].attributes.body
The Dad promised that the kids would go see martians

# data[].attributes.body
I think that there is a war happening on Earth so people are fleeting.

in the story "October 2026:The Million Year picnic"  they want to go in a fishing vacation to Mars.

# data[].attributes.body
The meaning of the title, "October 2026: The Million-Year Picnic" is that the children, and Mom and Dad went on a vacation to Mars but then ended up staying there for the rest of their lives.

# data[].attributes.body
The plot twist in the end was that the family ended up being the Martians. They tried to find the Martians on Mars but they couldn't see that they were one them self.

William burned those papers to show his children, and to satisfy his heart, that they are finally out of the laws and orders of the Earth's government.

# data[].attributes.body
Mom says, "I can see that'll cause trouble later" because she think that later when the children grow up, they all will mate together, but because there are four girls and three boys, there might be a fight between the girls because of that. Also, when the four girls and Mr. and Mrs. Edwards show up on Mars, they, they will run out of supplies quicker than if the Edwards didn't show.

# data[].attributes.body
The Edwards maybe joining them in Mars because they might also be fed up because of the war. William blew the rocket up so the government on Earth goes through a really hard time finding them.

# data[].attributes.body
One thing odd about this vacation is, that, why would the William carry a gun and a ton of food that could last them many decades. They were just going there for a vacation and how long is a vacation for, about a couple of weeks, a month, but not a decade or more.This all suggests that they might settle down in Mars because of the war back on Earth.

# data[].attributes.body
The dad promises the children that they will see Martians on the trip to Mars.

# data[].attributes.body
