Today was a sea day!
We were pretty pumped to spend the day exploring the ship and taking in a few activities.
We started with breakfast at the buffet with Ray, Jenn, Pam, Nana and Papa.
After breakfast, we went to the Guppy Zoo for art class. They were painting with vegetables and nontoxic edible paints. The had potatoes, carrots and peppers cut up, so the kids could paint with them or use them as stampers. They had a great time! They hung up their art work for the kids to enjoy the rest of the cruise.
Next up, was story time with Dora. It was really cute! Dora came out with some assistants and read a story. The assistants acted out different parts of the story with props. It was funny! The lesson was all about trash and cleaning up after yourself. Reagan paid close attention and was telling Papa the whole tale later in the day.
At the end, all the kids were invited to take a group picture with Dora. Reagan tried to sneak past her “bodyguards” and go right on stage. It was hilarious!
After story time, it was warm enough to do a little swimming. They have a great little kid’s pool and Reagan just loves it. She went down the slide a couple times, but basically just played with the couple other little ones in the pool. They were little Spanish kids, so it was fun to watch them try to communicate with each other.
After all the activity, Reagan was pooped, so she went down for a nap. Jim and I sat on the balcony looking for whales, with no luck.
This evening, was Raymond’s birthday dinner! We all got dressed up for dinner at Cagney's Steakhouse. Ray and Jen got a special back room reserved for everyone and we had a great time! They had a lovely champagne toast for the birthday boy! The food was fabulous and the desserts were scrumptious!
Since we were all alone, Reagan loved being able to roam around the room, while everyone finished their dinners and dessert. She's been carrying around packs of stickers since Seattle and calls them her “tattoos.” She loves passing them out. Everyone at dinner got "tattoos." Even both waiters got “tattoos” this evening. She is just having a ball!
She also loves going around the table asking everyone questions. Tonight, she asked what kind of food everyone likes. If the person at the far end of the table can’t hear her, she says, “Awww, they not paying attention to me.” It’s too funny!
We ended our evening in the Fizz Lounge with some karaoke. Jennifer sang "Close to You" by the Carpenters for Raymond and did an awesome job! Reagan was her assistant during the song. She just stood up on stage with her, holding her hand. It was adorable!!
Reagan attempted to sing “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star”, herself. She started out great, but the music was a little weird, so it kind of threw her off. We were all still so proud of her!
Jenn, Nana and I were going to sing Matchbox Twenty, but they ran out of time.
We had a great first full day on the ship! We can’t wait for day two!
The photo of the day is our whole crew (minus Sue) for the birthday dinner!
