The Cubscouts had an opportunity to spend the night on the USS Alabama Battleship in Mobile, AL. Kasey was able to take off work and go with us this year. Dalton, Kasey and Chase spent the night on the ship while Kelly, Hunter, and I stayed at the Best Western across the parking lot from the Battleship.
Kasey had an eventful night. This was Chase's second day wearing his brace and after sitting in a car for a long drive, his back was hurting too badly to go to the devotional. Anyway, while everyone else was away, a lost little boy wandered in their room crying. His parents were not on the trip and he could not find his guardian from his pack. Then he started throwing up all over the place. Of course, there were no towels, brooms, rags or anything in sight. Kasey cleaned him up the best that he could and then let him set up on his bed.
The others returned to the room and began yelling, "Yuck, who threw up?!" By this time, Kasey was so stressed, he yelled, "Everyone get up on your bed! Don't step in it. Does anyone know this little boy? He is lost from his group!" Finally someone from that little boy's pack came in and rescued the poor little fella.
Kasey could not sleep, so he roamed the ship and said he read every piece of information about every exhibit that he could probably pass a test about it. Ha! Ha! He called our room at 5:30am wanting us to come over there and get him and the boys so they could come over to our room and shower. We took the boys to get some breakfast afterwards while Kasey stayed in our room to rest for about an hour in peace.
Did I mention that about 5am we had torrential rainfall and hurricane force winds? The wind died down a little later in the morning, but the rain continued all day. After Kasey felt a little rested, we headed back over to the Battleship Park to tour the battleship, the submarine, and the aircraft museum. Despite being soaking wet all day, we all had a great time. Enjoy the slideshow!
