Thanksgiving cruise

We took a cruise to Grand Cayman and Cozumel with Himal's mom for Thanksgiving.  The weather was perfect, and we had a great time.

We stopped at the beach near Himal's hometown on the way to Himal's mom's house.  It was windy and a bit chilly but fun.

 
Parker enjoyed seeing his Agi
 Then  it was cruise time!
Ready to sail!
We spent a lot of time on the ship racing and playing chase in the lawn bowling area.

I brought some fun toys like this bug-making kit to keep Parker entertained on the ship.
Beautiful sunset at sea

Great backdrop for a dance party
Shuffleboard was a hit.
Kids' craft hour on sea day
Our favorite spot on the back of the ship
Fancy dinner
Grand Cayman- The weather and water were perfect!
 
A playground on the beach is a great idea.
Cozumel- The weather was perfect; the ocean was a bit chilly, but there was an awesome pool area.
Fun inflatables in the ocean, but Parker wouldn't go on them.  He did like kayaking and wanted to nap in the kayak.
The poolside area was resort-like.
 
Ahhhh....  This is the life!
We stopped at a cute zoo on the way home.
Of course, Himal wanted a picture with the gators.
This tapir was a funny guy.  He kept lifting his snout and exposing his teeth like he was saying, "Cheese!"
We always have to ride the train.
We finished our trip with a visit to my friend Stephanie's house.  The kiddos had a blast!
Bedtime story
Yes, PJ dressed in full ninja gear to go to the park.  What a nut!
 We had a great vacation!  Sure wish I was back on the islands right now...
