Sullivan's Island - Day 2

The weather forecast called for on-and-off rain most of the week so today we decided to hit up the Yorktown, a large aircraft carrier that saw service from WWII to Vietnam.  Colin insisted that the boys really wanted to go but we all knew who was really the most excited!  On our way off the island, we got stuck at the draw bridge so we all got out to watch the boats pass.

Once we got to the ship, we started at the top where the boys had a blast running around and checking out the planes.

Parker splashed in every puddle!

Carter even took a turn operating the anti-aircraft gun.

Before he was off to drive the boat.

And Parker took a turn in the spotter chair.

Soon the rain came so we headed inside for lunch.

Colin was really excited to eat on the ship and have an authentic navy meal.

Parker wasn't going to let the rain dampen his spirits!

After we toured the inside of the boat, we headed outside to check out the submarine and destroyer.  And Parker found more puddles to explore.

Soon it was time for naps so we all headed home.

After naps, it was a bit rainy so Carter passed time calling his friends.

And Parker took CDs in and out of the cabinet and smiled.

When things cleared up, Dad and Carter took a ride on the golf cart to the marsh to check out the wildlife.

It was another busy day of vacation!
