A Simpson Family Visit!

We were super excited when we got a phone call from my sister asking if her family and Grandpa Simpson could come visit us over the 4th of July week and we could all visit Sea World together.  We were excited to show them where we lived and get to experience Sea World with them.  

The Load Toads

After they arrived, Brydon was able to get us hooked up to watch the B-1 bomb loaders.  We were able to watch them in one of their loading competitions.  It was neat to see how the bombs were loaded from start to finish. 

Our cute boys watching the event!

It was interesting to see all the safety checks they had to go through and how meticulous they could be.

Grandpa Simpson was especially excited to watch this process.  He has a particular interest in bombs and knows a lot about them (in a good way :). 

The B-1's capacity to hold bombs is amazing!

The whole crew except Dad!  He had to work.

I am glad he set us up with such a neat visit and way to show off some things on the base.

These two cute cousins!! 

 It was so fun when Braydon recognized us as soon as he showed up and Caleb sure loves him.

The Zoo

The sloth was surprisingly awake!

The crazy catfish!  Someone came and threw a bunch of cat food in the water and they went nuts.  They are so weird!  

This curious bird thought Braydon was very interesting and came to check him out.

The animals were in rare form this trip and were all active and right by the fences.  

This cougar was very interested in stalking the boys. 

Good looking kiddo!

The flamingos were nesting and had some sweet babies to show off.  It was neat to watch them with their young and sitting on the eggs.  The nests were made from dirt mounds.

Cute little gray fuzzy babies!

The Drive-In

One of our night life highlights is the local Drive-In.  After eating some yummy Texas BBQ, we loaded up grandpa's truck and headed out to watch Monster's University and Epic  The boys were excited to play outside and hang out in grandpa's truck.   

Such a fun night!!!

Two super excited boys, all ready to go to Sea World the next day!
