On the Ship

Here are some of the things that we did on the cruise ship that I was able to get pictures of. There were tons of things to do on the boat, and there was a lot of eating amazing food the whole week which will probably need a post just for that. 

Rock climbing. Over the years I have learned that I scream involuntarily when I am dropped or fall really fast, like on roller coasters. People around me think it's hysterical and I have tried really hard not to scream but I just can't help it. So when I reached the top of the rock wall the person belaying me dropped me really fast. I think they probably do this to a lot of people but they probably don't always get the response that they got from me. I screamed of course and then when I stopped a couple feet from the ground they guy looked at me and asked if I was ok (he didn't bother to ask that before) and then let me down slowly the rest of the way. Later that afternoon I had a complete stranger come up to me and say "That was some ride down the rock wall you had today" So apparently I got the attention of other people on the ship :)

Lizzie and me racing. Pretty sure she won, but it was still fun. 

Lizzie, Viddy and Michelle before rock climbing the second time. Take note of Viddy's sun glasses - they are different from the ones that he had on the excursions. That would be because I accidentally knocked his sunglasses off the boat into the ocean. Just a couple minutes before I did it I bumped his glasses which were hanging on his shirt and he half joking said don't knock my glasses off. Then just a few minutes later I hugged him from behind and knocked them completely off. It was pretty funny but at the same time I felt bad for losing them. Luckily Michelle brought an extra pair and he wore those the rest of the week. 

The shows that we went to were for the most part a lot of fun. This was the first time that we went to the ice show. It's pretty amazing what they can do on such a small rink. We also went to a xylophone player who was incredible, a comedian, and a couple shows with the singers and dancers. 

This was the first formal night on the ship. It was fun getting all dressed up and having a fancy meal.

On the deck after our stop in Jamaica. That is Jamaica in the back ground.

Lizzie and I were twins with skinny jeans and stripes. 

The second formal night.

All of us before dinner on the second formal night. 

Just the girls. 

I love this picture. I think it captures just how much fun we had and how crazy Viddy's family can be, especially when we are all together. 

Just chilling in the beautiful weather.

We went miniature golfing and it was super windy which made it a little harder to play, but even harder to hold onto your hat. This is Viddy's dad losing his hat and it flew onto Viddy's brother-in-law as he was trying to putt off the hill. 

There was a soft serve machine on the boat and we definitely made use of it! We also had fun mocking people's attempts at making ice cream cones. 

 We got up really early one morning to see the sun rise. I know we look super hot in our pajamas and with eyes that look like they didn't get enough sleep - probably because they didn't.  

One night during dinner I went to the bathroom and left my camera at the table. This is what was on my camera when I came back. Got to love it! 

I recently cut my hair pretty short and it wasn't until this trip that I was totally in love with it. It was a pretty big change for me and for a while it just felt like I had a wig on. But after this trip and being able to make my hair look fairly decent with little to no effort, and also being able to have Viddy do crazy things to it like the picture below, I have decided that I like it. 

I didn't get pictures of just laying out, reading, watching movies, and laughing hysterically because we were having such a good time. It was an awesome cruise and hopefully we'll be able to do it again someday.
