Cruise - Day 5

Today was our last day at sea.

After breakfast, we took the girls to the ship store to pick out a souvenir.  Both of the girls wanted a mermaid.

Then we went to the Towel Folding Class.  

The girls did a great job making their own towel animals.

Jocelyn is looking forward to making one for Daddy when he gets home.

I even made a couple towel animals.  This was my laying down pig.  

 Granddaddy got in on the towel fun too.  He made some swans. 

Madison and Jocelyn went to Camp Carnival to see Freddy and do lots of fun arts and crafts.  

The adults played bingo before picking the girls up for lunch.  We didn't win anything, but we had fun playing.

 We had a stingray on our bed when we got back from dinner.

We also had a cobra on the window sill.  

Overall, the girls loved their 1st cruise and can't wait to do it again.  

Cruise - Day 4 Cozumel

This morning we attempted to play putt-putt golf on the top deck, but it was way too WINDY!

We headed to the pool instead.  

Madison at the saltwater kids pool.

Jocelyn mastered floating in the pool.  

Grandma loves laying and reading in the sun.

Granddaddy got some sun while enjoying the...

beautiful view!

We ate lunch on the boat and then went to Cozumel.

The water was so clear.

We spent the afternoon walking around and shopping.  

Silly Madison almost got eaten by a crocodile.  

Luckily, the donkey didn't bite anyone.

 That is one BIG table.

The girls cooled off in the shade before we walked back to the boat to eat dinner.

Jocelyn was tickled pink to find a towel pig in our cabin after dinner.  

Grandma and Granddaddy bought the girls their very own Carnival Towel Creations book.  

Cruise - Day 3 Grand Cayman

Today we stopped in Grand Cayman. 

We took a tender over to the island.  

Welcome to the Cayman Islands!

We spent all morning exploring and shopping in Grand Cayman.

Our little island girls!

The manikins in this Candy Store were dressed in candy.  Jocelyn liked the idea of candy clothes.  ;)

We bought a coconut and drank the coconut water to cool off.

Then we ate the insides.

Granddaddy helped the girls finish their coconut.

We headed back to the ship to eat lunch and...

 dessert on the deck.  

The girls and I decided to wear our yellow dress to dinner in honor of Clay.  We miss Daddy very much and can't wait for him to come home from his deployment.  

 We were all surprised to find a towel monkey hanging from our ceiling when we got back from dinner.    The girls thought it was funny that he was wearing my sunglasses.  

Grandma and Granddaddy had a cute towel bunny laying on their bed.

Our cabin steward made Madison her very own towel dinosaur.

The girls had fun going to Camp Carnival for Pirate Night.  

Cruise - Day 2

Today was a day at sea, so we explored the ship and played some chess after breakfast.  

Madison enjoyed a strawberry smoothie before...

we headed to the pool for the day.

The girls were too short to do the water slide, but Grandma went down the slide for them.

 The girls got to meet Freddy, the ship's mascot, on the way to dinner.  

They also met the Captain of the ship.

Grandma and Granddaddy all dressed up for formal night on the ship.

Family!

The girls were thrilled to find more towel animals in our cabin when we got back from dinner.
