Our friend Jason from high school is a Lieutenant in the Coast Guard and his ship happened to be at the Rose Festival this year so he invited us aboard for a behind the scenes tour! The boys have been so excited about this all week! Noah had some pretty good questions about the ship but was mainly wanting to know if the engine was bigger than his bunk bed?? Answer - YES! They were a little scared of the engine room (it was super loud) but the engine was definitely bigger than his bunk bed. Silas has been talking about the "super (uber) loud boat engine" all afternoon! They got to pick out some snacks in the galley and hang in Jason's Captain's quarters, Noah even got to go potty on the ship (pretty big deal)!!!

Jason's ship, the USCGC Henry Blake, it is
hard to believe that at 175 feet long it was
one of the smaller ships there! |

| Beautiful morning for a walk on the waterfront! |
 |
| Hanging out on the bridge! |
 |
| Listening very intently as Jason explained how to drive the ship! |
 |
| "Hey mom, this is the silliest steering wheel ever!" |
 |
Checking out all the cool ships!
Jason gave the boys hats and Noah wore
his most of the day, super cute! |

What fun for the boys! I'm sure they will be talking about that for days!! Love the pic of you and the boys, too! By the way - love the new stroller - is it a double umbrella?
