DO YOU SEE WHAT I SEE??????

ANNOUNCING: Ames baby #2- making its appearance sometime the first part of July 2011!

We are so excited for this new addition, McCoy is going to be such a great big brother!

Hanging out on the ship...

Our last day was at sea, and it was raining so we stayed inside and went to all the shows/activities- it was a good day. I learned how to fold towels into animals and I LOVED that... I felt like a pro! We were so sad that our vacation was over but we were SO EXCITED to get home to our McCoy! We missed that boy oodles! Thanks to g-pa/ma Ames for coming all the way from St. George to watch him!

cruise part 3

Thursday we were in Grand Turk, we really should of booked an excursion through the cruise line this day, the island was not commercial at all, so once we got off the ship there really wasn't much to do. The cruise lines built a "cruise center" right at port and there was a beach a little shopping, and this area was really nice- but that was really it. Later in the day we took an expensive taxi ride to "down town" and it was nothing but a couple of shacks with cheap souvenirs. It was really poverty stricken, and it was so crazy to see the houses that these people live in- at least it is warm there and they don't have to be cold in their bare houses!

Cruise Part 2

Wed. we were in Half Moon Cay- COMPLETE PARADISE! Out of the 11 Caribbean islands we have been to this was probably our favorite. It is a private island owned by a cruise line, and it truly is exactly what you think of when you think of tropical paradise.... We walked around the island when we fist got their, then we rented a shade tent, and played on the beach and the water all day- it was heaven! Oh ya it was also our 4 year anniversary this day and it was perfect!

Day one of our cruise!

On Nov. 1st we got to Miami and boarded the ship, played, ate, and enjoyed the first night of cruise entertainment. Tuesday we woke up and we were in Nassau Bahama's, we went on a catamaran and we were suppose to go to a private beach, but the water was too rough and we couldn't go, so we had a little extra time at the snorkeling spot. The snorkeling was not the best, but is was still fun to explore the water, and the few fish that we did see. After getting back to the island we went to the craziest flea market ever- I have never been bugged so much by people wanting us to buy things- it was constant "what does the pretty lady want? come take a look. How much do you want to pay? Be a nice girl and buy something" it was every second there were people calling for you to buy- it was crazy! Then we walked to a public beach, swam, and I had my hair braided by a women who wanted to make me a "Bahama Mama" as she put it- so I haggled her down to like 3 dollars for one french braid in the front (she wanted 10). I have never had my hair braided so tight, it was a little sore at first- but it lasted almost three days. Then it was a little more shopping and walking around then back to the ship. Our evenings usually went like this: get back on board, shower, take a nap/watch whatever movie was playing, get ready for dinner, eat, then try to attend all activities and shows that the ship had to offer. It was so so so so so great! More on the rest of the trip to follow.
