Fun Day at Sea...

Today we slept in, ate breakfast, then Soph was off to Camp Carnival while Cor and I took Daws up to mini golf. He has been most excited to do this! It was so windy that is was moving our balls all over the place. Daws didn't mind and had a great time. We spent most of the day inside the ship playing trivia games and wandering around. It was pretty cold. There must have been a storm around because the water started to get really choppy. By dinner time I was super sick! I was elegant night and I didn't want to miss the food. I took some more Dramamine, I am serious that stuff is amazing. When dinner was over we all went to Karaoke. We all had a good laugh. We took the babes back to the room, turned on a movie and Grandma came over and watched the babes while we went to the Comedy Club. I can't believe tomorrow is our last day.

Puerto Vallarta...

We arrived in Puerto Vallarta early today. We got our Team Halliday shirts on, and got off the ship. It was nice to be at a port and walk right off. We met up with our personal pirate for the day Alvin. He took our lunch orders, then helped us board the Jolly Rodger. The babes thought it was so awesome to be on a real pirate ship. We were taken below deck for breakfast and Dramamine. Thank heaven for that little pill! Then we were off on our adventure. We had games, a show and whole lot of swaying. A few members of our crew got sea sick :( . We walked stumbled around the front of the ship, Alvin painted the kids faces and we drank Pina Coladas to our hearts content. When we arrived, we were taxied to the beach. Alvin set up umbrellas and chairs, brought us drinks and climbed a tree to get us a fresh coconut. We got to kayak, boogie board, build sand castles and the littles got to go on a treasure hunt. Soph found a hermit crab, and Alvin helped them build a fort for him. The beach and ocean make me so happy! We got back on board, ate lunch, then had a long swaying ride back. Most went back to the ship, a few of us stayed and went to the flea market to get some treasures. We showered, ate dinner, then Grandma and Grandpa offered to watch the babes while we went out for the night!

Another Gorgeous Day in Cabo...

We got off the ship right after breakfast. We met up with the Penguin of Cabo, Hector the Protector. He sold us this "Gorgeous 45 minute tour of everything Cabo has to offer. Along with Hours of great snorkeling and Beach time at Pelican Beach".  We hopped aboard our "glass bottom boat" named no worries 2 and went on our amazing, wonderful, fantastic! ... 5 minute tour. Yes 5 minutes. It was beautiful though. We got off at Pelican beach along with about 100 other people! We were able to find a nice secluded spot and set up our things. The guys and older boys went snorkeling. I was nervous because there were taxi boats EVERYWHERE! They were fine though and were able to see some cool fish. They also decided to cliff jump. They all came back bleeding. The rocks were really sharp. We enjoyed playing in the sand, digging holes, finding treasures, burying the babies in sand, holding an iguana and eating boxes of Cereal. We were all worn out and hungry. Most everyone went back to the boat except Trent, Mckay, K'Leigh, Hannah, Greg, Soph and I. We decided to do some bartering at the flea market. Soph picked out a wallet and we got Daws a guitar. We got back to the boat and went to our room. Cor and Daws were showered and they had Pizza and hot dogs waiting for us. We ate while Cor went to gamble. We all met up for Dinner around 8. The girls were off to Pirate night at Camp Carnival. Daws went for a minute too. He wanted his face painted. Then he was done. We went to the Comedy Club, watched a show, then Cor went to the casino with the boys. I went and got Soph, then the babes and I went to bed.
