Our Favorite Out of Towners 2

So for our second day we went down to SeaWord.  Which we had a fun time at as well.

Looking at going on Shipwreck Rapids it was a long wait but they had fun. No surprise.

Waiting to use the cannon his brother and his dad. :)

 Taking some time to play with the star fish.  While we waited for the guys to finish with their ride.

 After the star fish we went over to see the turtle exhibit, at the end of the exhibit here is an inter active game for the kids to play. The four oldest waited and all got on at the same time so they played against each other. So much fun to watch them.

Our Favorite Out of Towners

Our good friends from Nevada came for a visit in May.  We love hanging with them when they come their 3 kids and our 2 get along SO well it's perfect!  While they were here we went down  to the Midway.  We didn't know it but that was the day that the Girl Scouts were doing the Cookie Drop for the military.  We managed to get a picture of the Coast Guard picking up the cookies.

After watching the helicopter take off we went on the ship to take our self guided tour.  This is where the fun begins for us.  We get our recorders and have the kids start listening to that while filling out a paper so they can get their 'wings'. 

First stop sleeping quarters:

I'm guessing the one on the top is lucky they get the most breathing room.  Would hate to be the one on the bottom.  WOW.

I'm not sure where this is but the kids had a blast sitting there playing with the chairs and watching the video.

I just love this little guy, he chose to sit in the CO's seat.  

We chose to put the kids in the clink, while were were there.  They all went willingly too. Go figure. I doubt anyone of the 5 will ever end up on the real clink.

Looking at all the planes they have on exhibit.  Amazing at how well preserved/restored these plans are. This day was so much fun. But then every time our friends come to visit we all have a blast!

Teacher Appreciation Week

This year for Teacher Appreciation Week we did a few things for the teachers. I didn't take pictures of everything but here are a few of the things we did.

We made huge paper clips for the teachers to clip notes to.

Then we filled little mason jars with an assortment of M&M's and put a cute poem with it. 

I love Teacher Appreciation week because it gives us a chance to "spoil" the kids teachers.  They have done such a great job and don't get nearly enough recognition for all they do.  Thank You to all the teachers out there!
