Red Dawn...WOLVERINES!!!!!

Mikey and I spent the night on the USS Alabama with the scouts this past weekend. I was not really looking forward to it, but it ended up being a blast. Mikey and I explored the entire ship. It was so big that even with 100 or so scouts on board, you could go to areas on the ship where you could not hear another person. Eerie. Here are some photos...

We slept in the same bunks as the Navy personnel that sailed on the ship

We ate beef jerky, drank soda, stayed up late, and did mad libs. God Bless America.

Mikey taking damage from "Yahtzee's".... some sort of kamikaze/nazi cross-over super enemy he came up with. If you look carefully at the end of the video, you can see that Mikey unfortunately did not make it. Yahtzees 1, Mikey 0.

The invading armies planned for everything - except for eight kids called "The Wolverines."

What a great trip! Sounds like the Wolverines could take on more than the Yahtzees.

From D-man: That's bigger than the ship I stayed on. Oh wait, that was a submarine.

Wow! What an awesome experience! Glad you had fun!
