Days 3 & 4

Since this process of reviewing the cruise is going so slow (my fault - don't blame me I am 15 weeks pregnant and still throwing up everyday), I thought I would do 2 days instead of just one. Hopefully this will get it done quicker so I can go back to what is actually going on with us at the moment because we are still doing things!

So Day 3 we were in Barbados. It was our first chance to experience the beautiful water. We took a catamaran sailing tour out to go snorkeling with the turtles. All 7 of us went and had a blast!!
The weather was perfect! Ben loved being on the water!
Ben loved sailing so much that he got in the front of the boat and laid on the netting over the water. This freaked me out!!!
We then got to the place where the sea turtles were and all got in the water. We were very nervous about how Ben would do but he did awesome!! He loved the water. Who wouldn't?? It was beautiful and warm! There were sea turtles everywhere. It was great to get to be so close to them. Some even came to the surface so that Ben got to see them! I love this picture of all of us in the water!

The whole family at dinner!
After dinner we went to the ice show which was awesome. It is amazing to think about watching an ice show in the middle of the Caribbean Sea!
Day 4 we found our way to St. Lucia. Since Ben did so well on the excursion the day before we all booked a sightseeing trip around the island. We were on a mini bus and got to drive all over the island and see the sights. Here we are in front of the famous Pitons.

St. Lucia is a beautiful island. It has tropical rainforests and lots of hills. It had some of the prettiest vegetation that we saw!


We then went to an old plantation where we saw them processing coconuts and cocoa beans. Here Ben is trying out so fresh coconut juice.

And Matt!
Then the tour continued at a waterfall that was beautiful!

We made our way back to the ship where Ben and I spent the afternoon at the pool! This is the little boy who wouldn't even go in the water last year. He was like a fish!! He loved swimming!!
And sliding!!

More to come...
