Submarines and water wings

Brooke is here and we are having so much fun, so that is my reason for lack of posts. It is just so nice having her here--already I am dreading her departure even though it isn't for another 2 months. My friends and I are trying to find her hot guys so she will stay here. Anyways, here are a couple of pictures from the last couple of weeks.

Eric went to the states for training and brought back fun prizes for the kids. We always love when he goes to America!! Anyways, he brought the kids back new backpacks and water wings. Kailey wears her water wings EVERYDAY--all around the house, when she naps, outside, you name it!!
We went to a park nearby that had fountains and Ethan decided to cool off inside the fountain!
Playing with friends at the fountain--we went and had a picnic dinner with friends there.
One of our good friends is a submariner and got us on a tour of the USS Hawaii that is was here in port visiting. It is one of the brand new subs and everything is electronic--Brooke and I found it so interesting!

Where they sleep--this is for officer's--enlisted bunks are so close together that if you want to roll over you have to get out of bed and get back in. Sorry the pictures aren't the best--I could only use my i-phone and they wouldn't let us take too many pictures--top secret stuff!!
This chamber is where they can put Navy SEALS and shoot them out of the submarine into the water--pretty cool!

That picture of Ethan in the fountain looks like he got frozen in the fountain as the cement dried. I just think it's so cute and funny!
