Cruise day 3: sea day

Merry Christmas!  Today we sent the day at sea.

We were told that there were presents for the kids at 8am.  Since we were up and dressed by then we were there close to 8...it turned out there was a slight typo, so instead we (along with Grey Bear) got our picture taken with Santa Goofy.

The kids went to the kids area for a while.  There was some activity that we persuaded them to try.  I think Isaac did screens the whole time and Joshua tolerated it.  Ben and I hung out in the adult area and read for a little bit.

Isaac discovered that he loves crab legs!  I told both boys that they needed to try some new foods this trip.  Isaac took it to heart and found some things he likes and some things he doesn't like; Joshua tried some new foods but didn't try as much.  (The problem with crab legs is that Isaac can't take them apart and his rate of eating is faster than my taking apart.  Therefore, he only got a few per day.)

Ice cream!  Isaac enjoyed the strawberry banana swirl and Joshua changed every day.

I took the boys for a bit so then Ben took the boys.  I went to the adult area again for just a bit with my legs in the pool.

We had our fancy dinner night that night.  We were standing in line for a while and so I gave the kids my phone to take some pictures.  Isaac decided to take pictures of the lights...but it shows the lobby of the boat nicely.

We tried to get a quick family picture, but Joshua wasn't having it.

After dinner we finally got the picture taken.

Since the pool was busy during the day we went swimming at night.  This was the small pool that was warm and Joshua really enjoyed.  Isaac and Ben went on the water slide six times and he was so excited.  It was nice because the pool was not very busy at night time and so you didn't have to wait in line very long (if at all).
