The summer of "Woooool"

My youngest brother, William, came down from ATL and visited with us for a little over a week.  He left yesterday and it was rough.  Poor little Harpy keeps calling for him, "Woooool" and it just breaks my heart.  I managed to not cry today when she was calling for him.

We really had a great time while he was here.  Not only did he help out a ton with Harper, we were all able to spend some quality family time together. 

The weather has been hit or miss with afternoon and mid-morning thunderstorms since we've moved here.  However, we were able to get in some beach and pool time on the few nice days that we have had.

Here are some pictures of Will and Harper and the base pool:

Will was the master of the water slide!

In the drink!

I really liked this pool.  They have an area roped off for kids that is only 1.5 ft deep and you can see the bay right from the pool deck.  They didn't have a snack bar, but you can bring your own snacks.

We also went to the beach a few times, but I don't have any pictures from that.  With Will and the baby and all of the other things that have to go to the beach, I usually just leave the camera in the car.  I'll have to do better once I have another adult to help out.

We also went to see the Blue Angels practice and it was AWESOME!!!  I am really into planes, trains, and boats so I was super excited about the practice show.  I could not believe some of the stunts and tricks that these guys can do in their planes.

This is the diamond formation.  I liked the solo pilots better

This was the 'slow' by...they were only going 120mph here

 

 

 

 

 

 

Stupid woman standing on her cooler ruined my shot!!

After the show we went to see the National Museum of Aviation.  We were hoping to have a meet and greet with the pilots but they took forever getting into the museum and there were a ton of people waiting for the same thing, so we skipped out on the meet and greet.  However, we did get to see some cool planes from history and reflect on how aviation has played a role in our nation's history.

Check out some of the pictures:

We're gonna kill some Nazis!

Will thought this guy was cool with his sword

Overall, this was a great visit for us and we really miss Will!  We want him to come back soon, like tomorrow.

Thanks to GDT and Niecy for allowing us to take care of your precious child.
