James' ship had a family day cruise today. We had a blast! We drove to the base and caught a bus to Seattle. The ship was in Seattle for seafair. At first it was a little chilly and very windy but eventually it got hot (of course, we are still having a heat wave... at least its not 102 anymore!). The ship did a couple of cool things... they sped up as fast as they could and did an emergency stop. That was pretty cool because the waves behind us crashed under the ship. Then they did a man overboard drill where they dropped a rhib (a small little boat) into the water and rescue swimmers "searched" for the person. They kept announcing how far they were from the person who went overboard and how long they'd be in the water. Then they had a BBQ with steaks, chicken and burgers. In the middle of the underway sierra lost a tooth. This is the second one she has lost. When we were pulling into port there were sea lions along this floating fense thingy they had. pretty cool! Below are soem pictures and if you want to view more you can see them at the link to the side of this blog ;)
going fast :)

Also, Sierra has been selected to be in her dance school's competition team. It is an honor and sierra is extremely excited. She goes to one of the best dance schools in the northwest and they always win!
