They had all kinds of activites on board. Here you see the boys on some type of play equipment.
There was food available all day long. They were able to eat fried chicken prepared by the Admiral's chef and Carson swears is was as good as MopMop's. Huge compliment....They also got their faces painted...
I love this one...
On the flight deck there was an amazing airshow. From what I understand, you can't imagine how close they were and how LOUD it was (note Carson's protection on his ears). This was a huge step for Carson since loud noises really bother him. He wanted to do this because he realized what an unique opportunity it was.
For you parents out there...you might recognize this young lady. She plays the President's daughter on the Disney show, "Cory in the House." The boys got an autograph also. Carson thought she was pretty cute and is sure that the two-year age difference (she is 11) would not be a huge hurdle!
Here are my handsome fellas on the back of the boat.
Carson was given permission to sit in the Chief of Staff's chair in the Island. Since Brian is on the Admiral's staff, the boys received a full tour of the Island.
A blow-up rock climbing wall. Carson is on the left, Austin on the right...
Here is Austin with Virginia Beach in the background. This was on the way home.
The day was so fun for all three of them. The boys were talking nonstop about it and are certainly proud of their Daddy (as they should be). I continue to be amazed at the coordination that must have taken to pull this off and can't tell you how much this means to our family. While we hate, hate, hate Brian being away from us so much, having these types of opportunities helps the kids to really foster a sense of pride in their Daddy's difficult job.
