Today the whole family got to go on a field trip together! I was excited
because I normally go alone with the boys because Kyle is usually in
class. Right now the Navy has several ships in port to commemorate the
War of 1812 and we toured 2 of them this morning. We had never been on a
working ship before, only ones taken out of commission, like the USS
Kidd.
 |
| This was actually taken on campus on Thursday...the Blue Angels have a show this weekend and were practicing right over us! They practiced for several hours-it was great! |
 |
| The first boat we toured. |
 |
| The flags were just for decoration. Each flag stands for a letter of the alphabet, but they aren't in any kind of order here. |
 |
| This was a really fancy gun that was operated by a computer in another part of the ship. It shoots 4500 rounds per minute. |
 |
| The Freckle King! |
 |
| Playing around on one of the big guns : ) |
 |
| Colby loved this part : ) |
 |
| Aiming for New Orleans! |
 |
| A good looking civilian I found on the ship ; ) |
 |
| They wear the mitt to pick up the spent shells from the 50 caliber guns on board. |
 |
| Blue Angels right over campus on Friday : ) Hope the show doesn't get rained out tomorrow! |
