USS Midway

Our Thanksgiving was pretty low-key this year. We journeyed 5 miles to Grandma and Grandpa Larsen's home for turkey and pumpkin pie. David showed up wearing his homemade native american outfit: (notice the bows and arrows)

On Friday, we traveled to San Diego for a tour on the aircraft carrier, the USS Midway. It was fantastic! Here are the kids in the bunkroom for navy recruits.

The ready-room for helicopter pilots:

An officer for the Golden Dragons (same name as David's soccer team)

James was most interested in this area of the ship: the Brig (worst place to stay)

Engine room. Second worst place to be.

Looks like he has a little more growing to do

Group shot: the men chose this backdrop because of the impressive missles to our left.

View of downtown San Diego. It was the most beautiful day, by the way: 70 degrees

David waving goodbye. To tell the truth, I hope to never see my adult sons on one of these.

Saturday was back to reality. Joseph and I spent most of the day painting the exterior of the house, gardening, and cleaning. I am so glad that we have today (Sunday) to rest.
