The boys waiting on the bench at the Radisson for our shuttle to the cruise terminal. Do they look like they are up for some serious fun?
Richard, Dallin and Parker standing inside the atrium area in the middle of the ship. You could see all the common area decks and it overlooked a piano bar.
Dallin, Parker and Gretchen blowing away as the boat started doing a 180 degree turn in the water to head out to sea. It was wild to watch a ship that large turn around without going forward or backwards.
Me and the kids at sunset, ready for some fun!
The kids checking out the vast ocean we were cruising through on our 1st night onboard.
Gretchen, the bunny, after her 1st visit to Camp Carnival with her coloring backpack she made. All 3 of the kids had their own camp to attend, and they had a blast. They made volcanoes, slime, penny boats, colored t-shirts, backpacks, made helcopters, shields & swords, etc. They stayed busy, and made new friends.
Parker and Gretchen on the Lido deck hanging out at the pool.
The gang headed off for a little fun in Freeport, Bahamas. We took a taxi ride with General Grant, one crazy old Bahamian man, over to the marketplace and the beach.
The boys, doing what they do best, digging in the dirt.
Our little sand princess on the beach in Freeport, Bahamas.
A couple of beach bums surfing the waves.
Gretchen and 2 sand monsters.
Dallin and Gretchen snuggling in for the night. The kids had their own room, and the "big kids" had their own room.
Our boat ride over to a private island, Blackbeard's Cay, where they have snorkeling, jet skis, swimming, beach area, and a little outdoor grill restaurant. We spent the day here on one of our shore excursions in Nassau.
On one of our shore excursions we snorkeled, fed and swam with the stingrays. Gretchen, however, opted out of the fun. She watched from the beach.
Dallin and Richard petting and feeding the stingrays.
Dallin snorkeling with the stingrays.
Parker and Dallin at Blackbeard's Cay doing a little digging, again!
Gretchen and "Woody" the pirate.
The P-Man dancing to some island music on our water taxi.
Our cruise ship docked in Nassau. This picture was taken from our boat ride back from Blackbeard's Cay.

Overlooking Nassau.
The gang getting ready for some on board mini golf.
Parker, Dallin, Richard, Gretchen and me playing a little mini golf on the top level of the ship, awesome views on this course!
The kids were lucky and got to see a school of dolphins swimming and diving outside their bedroom window. They were jumping in and out of the waves right beside the cruise ship. Unfortunately, no pictures of the dolphins, those little guys are fast!
Parker hanging out at the hot tub by the basketball courts.
The day we were out at sea the waves got a little more "wavey" and the ship started rocking. So, when it started rocking it turned the kiddie pool into a wave pool, see the white top wave in the center of the pool. The kids thought it was hilarious playing in it and watching them wash over the pool wall.
Each night our room steward left us towel animals: seals, elephants, bunnies, etc.

mWow! It looks like fun has had by all. Well except me - lol.
That wave pool (baby pool) looked like wicked fun. Your own rooms - does it get better than that. The beaches looked cool & the stringray petting neat but I may have joined Getchen. Touching water animals - scary.
Glad you all had fun!
I love that Gretchen is wearing a sleep mask. She is my kind of woman!! How fun!
drea
That looks like sooooo much fun! Makes me sick! I am up for cruising with your guys, that is if I can ever convince Dale to consider a cruise again. He is not a current fan
That looks like so much fun!! How did you manage that with all three kids-hats off, lady! Gretchen is gorgeous! Good genes.
What an awesome, awesome, awesome vacation. I love the tidal wave kiddie pool.
P.S. I didn't know you had a blog!
That looked like an AWESOME, AWESOME, AAAAWWWWESOME trip! Wow! When our boys get old enough, we'll have to try it out, too! So glad you had fun!! We miss you!
Lots of love,
Tiff and Chad
