Tuesday was another "Day at Sea." Since we were finally getting into warmer climates (Monday was pretty cool outside; Tuesday was excellent--sunny and not too hot), the morning was spent mostly around the pool on Deck 9. Since Benji isn't potty-trained, I didn't let him get in the pool. That's okay; he loves splash pads. He got a kick out of this water-fountain sorcerer's hat. He didn't get to stay there long, because he decided to steal the cherries out of some lady's special drink. I wasn't too happy about that. I did give him a second chance, but when I stepped away to take a couple of pictures of Sabrina, he managed to get a sip of said drink. After that, we were done.
So I brought him back to our table to hang out for a little bit. Nanny was there, and I just got some precious shots of the two of them. It's so sweet how much she loves her grandchildren.
We all spent plenty of time fawning over Zekey. That baby is so flippin' cute! Everyone adores him!
Every time I look at this picture, it puts a little warm in my heart and a giggle on my lips. I love Phoebe!
I'm fairly sure I sent Benji downstairs with Allen so he could check him into the Oceaneer Club. A few of us played a little bit of Pounce (that was the only time we got to play), but that didn't last long. I don't remember what we did the rest of that day; I'm pretty sure some of us went to the Shopping Lecture (in which some really obnoxious little girls won the drawing . . .). I know I fell asleep during said lecture, but oh well. I'm sure Dad watched the Muppets movie for the 48th time, and I traded some old lotion to some teens doing a scavenger hunt. I got a decent lanyard out of the deal, so I'm pretty sure that was a bullish move for me. Allen, Sarah, Lance, Mom and I went to the 90's Music Trivia thing in the afternoon. As a group we did pretty well: Sarah got the poppy stuff, Lance got the heavy stuff, and I knew a lot of the rest. Mom knew two of the thirty (Shania Twain and Celine Dion . . . can you say "Q92"?). It was kinda fun, though.
Dinner was at Parrot Cay again. Benji was totally passed out; they made a little bed for him on the chairs. The rest of the kids were in a pretty good mood (except for Sabrina) . . .
. . . but it was some good family time.
I remember that Sarah was laughing at some random picture of me. I'd like to see that, though I'm pretty sure it would be embarrassing. Whatever.
The show that night was the "Hypnosis and Comedy of Ricky Kalmon." We didn't go; and I'm not exactly sure what we did that night. We had seen him the night before for the adult show (the hand puppets singing "Bohemian Rhapsody" was hilarious!), so I'm not sure how much we missed. Whatever.
In any case, here are some pictures from our cabin. The "turndown" service (or second cleaning of the day . . . BEST. THING. EVER.) provided by our "Stateroom Host" was fantastic. They made these awesome towel animals every night. I got pictures of some of them.
And here's a picture of Benji on the lower bunk. I think he liked sleeping there, though there were times he did NOT want to go to bed. He does much better in his own room (fewer distractions). Oh well. He did pretty well.
I did hit the hot tub with Mach and Wow that night, though. It was pretty awesome. It was pretty deserted, so when Captain Hook (and his handler) came walking by, we were pretty excited. Wow hopped out and got a picture with him, but I didn't. In general, I try to avoid pictures of myself in swimsuits. Hey--at least I made it into some pictures on this trip, which is more than usual.
That's all I can remember for Tuesday. What did I forget, family?

Oh, vacations. I feel it's a mark of a good vacation if you can't remember what happened; you were too busy enjoying it!
Oh man... I can't believe how much you DO remember from each day! Much better than myself. Thanks for blogging about it!
