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!
