U.S.S. Yorktown

Jarod and Russell went with the Scout Pack to Charleston, SC. on Sunday. They spent two nights on the U.S.S. Yorktown. I sent the camera with Russ and he came home with over 100 photos! So here are a few of Jarod's favorites that he picked out for you to enjoy......
Getting on the boat......
This was an airplane that they could sit in. Do we have a future pilot in the family?
This is an original Black Sheep Squadron plane from WWII
The Yorktown was responsible for recovering Apollo 8
The U.S.S. Franklin - How fun is that?
Sitting in the Captain's chair on the Yorktown
They also got to go on the USS Clamagore submarine- commissioned in June of 1945
Going up the hatch!
Some of the Pack sitting on the big guns. They got to spin the wheels and make it turn around.
This is a rare River Patrol boat used during the Vietnam War.
Guard station bunker
While touring the Charleston harbor on boat, these dolphins came and played right in front of them. How fun!
Sleeping quarters. Russ slept on the top. During the last night, about 2 am, Russ lost his pillow. Bummer!
Jarod is sad because it's time to come home. What memories!!!
On a different note, Ocean Park Baptist called us on Sunday and wants to meet with both Russ and me on Thursday night at 7. Please continue to pray for God's direction as we once again begin to make decisions about our ministry future. As always - we will keep you informed......
