day at sea

Our last day of the cruise was spent at sea. The pool gets crowded on the sea day so we went down early and staked out our spot. We spent a lot of time in the sun and I'm happy to report there was no major sunburn. I'm not ashamed to lather my face in white sunscreen. I just wish I would have rubbed it in a little better.
This float cost us $8 on one of the island's. The pool water is salted and chlorinated so Morgan wouldn't get in without it. We had a miserable time when the water did get in her eyes.
We opted for lunch in the dining room instead of dinner that night. We knew we wanted to go to the "show" that evening and we had free drink coupons we could only use at lunch. I'm all about saving seven bucks. Addison picked up this crown kit in the gift shop at Atlantis. She wore it any chance she could on Wednesday. Morgan perfected her coloring skills on this trip. She even colored on the table cloth a couple of times.

A decent picture of me and my dad, even though he hated every second of it.
That night we made it to the early show in the theater. Much to my delight it was an 80's themed show. Me and the girls jammed through the whole thing.

No pictures please.
The last towel creation was an elephant.
We had such a great time. I wish the girls would have went to the kids camp they offer, but they wouldn't let parents past the gate and my kids do not go to strangers that easily. If I would have had five minutes to introduce them it might have been different. They did go to Camp Grandpa one night which allowed Michael and I to go out on the ship and be adults for the evening. We even got to sleep without interruptions. The girls had a blast doing crafts and playing games in Grandpa's room. They schooled my dad in Go Fish. We'll definitely be doing the cruise again, but I want to give it a couple of years. By then the girls will be older and things might not be as hectic. Who knows what we'll do next year.
