Southern Carribean Cruise Part 3

Okay, here's the last of it...

The boys spent most nights going to bed right after dinner (it was already past their bed times by then). Bob's mom would meet us at our room and read the boys a story, put them to bed and read (or sleep) until Bob and I were done going to shows or whatever we were doing in the evening. We were very grateful for her doing that because it was like we were on a date each night. But we also know she fully enjoyed herself putting them to bed each night. She stayed out a couple of nights for shows. One of those nights, we brought the boys to a Beatles show. Glenn here is sitting in his seat, very serious. He really enjoyed the show and the dancers' costumes. Near the end, they passed out glow sticks, which was right up his ally.

Alexander fell asleep during the show in Nanny's lap. She didn't mind one little bit!

We went out dancing after the show.



Andrew just graduated from high school (as well as another girl from our group, Kia). So we celebrated their graduation. As you can tell, Alexander loves his cousin.



Danny and Alexander

Things got very silly at our last dinner. Alexander loved to make faces for anyone holding a camera.

Danny holding up a frog leg. It really does taste like chicken. But did it still have to look like a frog leg?!?!

Danny looking like a bandit.

Alexander was doing silly things with his napkin, too.

We left the ship around 7:30 Sunday morning. The boys were excited to get back home to their toys and dogs. But I feel it is so sad to end a vacation. Being on a cruise is like a fantasy. You get to eat gourmet food every day, you don't have to do any dishes, we brought enough clothes so we didn't have to do laundry, a magic fairy comes in the morning and makes your bed and cleans up the bathroom and then comes again when you're at diner to get your bed ready, bring you chocolate and make a little stuffed animal out of towels. You don't have to work, and you have someone to watch your children for free! Then, slap, back to reality! Bob was back to work today. I cleaned the house, did laundry and grocery shopping. I start teaching again next week after two months off. But it has been a great summer!
