Day 2 - Day at Sea

We all slept in a bit Sunday morning.  I slept pretty good on the cruise, it was great.  We all enjoyed the buffet breakfast in the morning.  

After we ate we took the kids up to kids camp.  Tessa and Hallee were excited that they were wearing the same outfit.  

The four older kids got to go into the same kids camp.  

Poor Damon couldn't go to their group because of his age.  He decided that it wasn't fun to go alone so he hung around with the grown ups.  He was so good.  He never whined or complained, I was so impressed with him.  Plus, he is so fun to have around!

After I dropped the kids off I went up to watch the boys in a basketball competition.  Jonah was excited for this. 

They played lightning.  The boys did great and had fun looking out for each other. 

I love these boys!

We had fun cheering the boys on. 

After the basketball competition we went downstairs for Harry Potter trivia and The Office trivia.  Elijah and Tiff made it to the final round of The Office Trivia.  Elijah won!  

Lori designed shirts for the kids and grandma and grandpa.  She is so talented and generous with her time and talents.  The shirts say, "Cruising with my cousins."  The kids love the shirts that Lori does every year.  Caitlyn wears them until they are completely worn out. 

Most of us were down there so we got to visit.  We found out that Kyle ate a muffin with Almond flour and was having an allergic reaction.  We were all so worried about him.  He went to the doctor and they were taking care of him.  The muffins weren't labeled correctly, which is so scary!  Thankfully he was okay after a very rough few hours.  

After that the girls had fun learning new dances.  

There was always fun activities going on, it was so great!

After that we picked up the kids from kids camp for lunch.  Hallee was excited to show us her medal that she won in a singing competition. She sang "Popsicle" by herself and the teacher picked her as one of the winners. 

They had a 24-hour ice cream and frozen yogurt machine on the boat.  I can't even imagine how much ice cream they went through.  I'm pretty sure one of our kids was always at the machine.  

My parents booked the board room for us so we could have a devotional that afternoon.  While we were waiting for everyone to get there the kids played concentration.

It was down to Hallee, Amarie, Jonah and Cody.  All of the other kids were cheering them on.

I love that the kids come up with fun things to do and play together.

Lindy had fun with EJ and Elijah, I loved seeing them laugh and have fun together.

I love these boys.  Hanging out with Ammon and Rockwell, it doesn't get much better than that for Wyatt!

The girls got up on stage and showed off their new dance moves.

We were all relieved when Kyle showed up.  He looked pretty tired, but of course he said he was fine.  It was such a relief to see that he was okay.

Dad started off talking about how great our family is.  I couldn't agree more, I'm so grateful for my family, they really are my best friends.

After that he shared some of his favorite bible verses.

I love that dad always throws in some humor!

After that mom shared some thoughts. Me, Matt and Gary also shared a little and so did Cody. It was great to have that spiritual time on the Sabbath. 

After that grandma had the candy bar game ready for the kids.

Wyatt rolled doubles a lot and was pretty happy about it!

After that it was time for pictures.  There are twenty-one grand kids, we are missing Caleb and Dante. 

They sure are a good looking group!

I love all of these kids so much!  I'm so grateful that my kids have such wonderful cousins to grow up with.

Matt felt left out, so we had to let him join in for one of the pictures!

The lighting wasn't great on the stage, so we switched spots.

There are so many good ones, I don't want to leave any of them out.

My kids are so lucky to have my parents as grandparents.  It means so much to me to see how much they love my kids.

It's so great to see how close the kids are even though they live in different states.

Goofy picture!

We did a few with just the cousins.

Good looking kids!

They were great sports about all of the pictures and very happy when we were done!
