Bart and Linda Visit


 Yesterday we had Uncle Bart and his girlfriend Linda come visit us all the way from Wisconsin.  We haven't seen them since Brent's mom's funeral 6 years ago - so it was well overdue.


 We went on a Naval Base Boat tour - only thing is when there is a major hurricane coming instead of the 35 boats parked at the pier there was only 4.  But it was still fun.  We got to see a bunch of boats going up river to ride out the storm and some big container ships moving past us hoping to beat the storm.  The kids loved it.  Colin and Brent saw a few dolphins.
 Then we went to Nauticus.  I had no idea how hands on the museum was and there was a ton of stuff for the kids to do.  We stayed all day. 
 It was a welcome change for the boys since the afternoons are when I feel the worst and we end up playing games on the couch or watching tv. 
 This water part where they built the paths was a huge hit.


 Then we went on the USS Wisconsin. 

 One worn out boy and momma.  I am tired but it was a great day.  And my belly is already huge.

It was a really fun day. Bart and Linda loved playing with the kids and they adored Bart and Linda.  With the hurricane coming they are leaving in the morning.  Hopefully we wont go another 6 years before we see them again.
