Haiti and more

Many people ask me about the cruise ship and fun things. The food and entertainment is great. Every night they had a show. One of my favorites was an ice show. Ice show you are asking, well yes they was an ice rink on the boat too. It was so amazing to me to see how fast they get going on that little ice rink and plus landing all of those awesome tricks. There was some very talented singers and dancers. They had one show that was a "Once upon a time" thing, and even the girls loved that one because they had fairy tail characters for them.

This is one thing that is fun is every night when you go to dinner they turn down your bed and make this fun little animal out of towels. We had an elephant, lobster, crab, dog and others I can't remember. This was my favorite and if you leave your glasses out they will put them on.
The food not only tastes great but it displayed well too. All of these items are made from fruit and vegetables.

This was one of the last sunsets we saw. So amazing!

If you know me well you will know that I not only love ice cream but I am a big fan of frozen yogurt. And believe it or not they have a machine everyday. You could eat as many as you want at your pleasure. Delightful I must say! This is Lexi stealing a lick from Emery.

This was a picture that one of the photographers took. I have been wanting a nice mother daughter picture so I had to get this one.

They also had this huge rock wall. I tried, but having a baby sure does make things harder on ya, especially when you haven't done it for 3 years or so, but hey at least I tried!

Johnny loved it and he is a natural!

My most favorite thing to do was the flowrider. It was awesome and if you ever get a chance to do it, you will kick yourself if you don't try! You don't have to worry about drowning in the ocean which to me is a big appeal! This is Papa John riding.

See proof that I did it. On my first ride I did a 360 and I got on my knees. OK so to be honest the 360 was an accident but all the boys in line behind me were impressed and gave me high fives when I was done!
Here is Jamin. The boys had a hard time because they said it was nothing like the real thing and their contacts were falling out, but that just sounds like they didn't want to be shown up by a girl!

Here we are in Haiti, our last stop. It was not really true Haiti because the cruise line owns this part of the island which they made into a resort. The beach had a lot of coral wash up so it was tough on the feet but it was still fun to be in the sun for the day!

They allow some locals to come a sell they crafts and things. This was a display of some of the beautiful art! I like this guys booth because he would say to me "no pressure, no pressure" You have to remember this is their livelihood, and they don't know what "no" means. It was hard to look at things without them trying to guide you in by "hey lady can I just show you one thing?" you would think that they would get the point when the last 5 booths you walked by, who all have the same items, you said no to, but no way were they not going to let me walk right by.

The adventure did not end on the boat. We had a heck of a time trying to get home. We missed our first flight because they wouldn't let us off the boat early enough, and then we missed the second flight. We finally made it on a plane and made it to Baltimore where we were suppose to switch airlines. We ran up to the gate right when the plane pulled out, so we stayed the night in Baltimore and jumped on a flight the next morning. On our last leg we were almost there and then over the intercom we heard, "is there a doctor on board or anyone with a medical background?" Turns out a man had a stoke and was not doing well so we had a make an emergency landing in Billings, Montana. Crazy! We just couldn't get home! So an hour later we finally were back on our way home. We made it and are sad to be in cold weather but happy to be in our home again.

Back to reality for us!
