A week on the high seas

Boarded the ship in Miami

Kolby shooting hoops before we set sail
Dinner our first night

Kolby dancing at the belly flop competition--he did not win, apparently he 'tucked' at the last minute.
One of the many towel creatures our room attendant left in our room while we were at dinner.
On the ferry to Belize with Kolby' sister and brother-in-law
The ship tendered in Belize (I took this from the ferry)
Belize
Due to the hurricanes, they only bury down 3 feet and then the tomb sticks up 3 feet so their cemetery looks very different from ours.
They call this gun a super soaker---I don't feel any safer...
Cave tubing in Belize
All of us in the end after getting through the caves with our guides.
Getting ready to zipline between the trees in Belize. Kolby thinks we belong in hard hats-I don't think so!
All 14 of us to go ziplining-(3 of them are hard to see in the back due to the sunlight)
The water in Costa Maya is GORGEOUS!
These creepy creatures were all over at the Xel Ha resort, just like pigeons are at amusement parks.
Aren't these birds beautiful?
When I imagine paradise, this is what I see!
I love dolphins!
Cozumel
2 Royal Caribbean ships docked in Cozumel-these boats are HUGE! Ours is on the left.
Another towel creature!
We had a private session on the flow rider at the back of the ship--I think we all took 1 too many beatings!
The guy is showing me how to get on the board and stay on...for a minute until I lose all sense of conscience!

Go Kolby!
We made it without too many injuries!


We had so much fun, but we arrived home exhausted and with a stomach bug from Mexico (small price to pay I suppose). We went minature golfing, played basketball, rock climbing, cave tubing, ziplining, snorkeling, karoake singing, we were on the Love & Marriage game show on the ship which aired constantly afterwards--so embarassing--we did swing dancing, played Bingo, sat in a hot tub floating over the ocean, ate new foods (lamb), Kolby was in the bellyflop and freethrow competitions and otherwise thoroughly enjoyed ourselves!
