Keman Boardwalk and Thanksgiving 2016 Cruise with the Footes

We got up early and headed to Galveston to go on a cruise over the Thanksgiving holiday to the Caribbean with the Foote Family!

The sun was in her eyes

Almost ready for a nap

Reading!  They were both really good travelers

We got to the Houston area a few hours before the cruise left so we met up with my Cousin Melissa and her family at a place called the "Keman Boardwalk".  We had lunch and enjoyed the boardwalk.  The kids had a great time together, the adults had fun visiting, and there was lots to do!

Emmalyn had Angelina and Vanessa wrapped around her little finger

Ready to go on a train ride!

Emmalyn LOOOOOVED the train ride.  She thought it was so cool and kept making the whistle noise.

All of us!  (As the sun started going down, it got pretty cold quickly!)

We made it to the port!  Unfortunately the line to get through the check-in process was HORRENDOUS!  We have never had to sit through such an awful line.  And the kids were exhausted, bored, hungry...you name it.  ROUGH!

Finally getting on the boat!

Waiting during the muster drill.  Thank goodness we had jackets.

Because it took so long to get onto the boat, we all did dinner at the buffet and wandered around a little checking out the boat.  We got the kids all signed up for the kids club.  Unfortunately our rooms were not ready until after 7 so we were carrying a bunch of stuff around with us that whole time (stroller, backpacks, snacks, etc...you know everything but the suitcases).

When we finally got into the room, Emmalyn's crib wasn't delivered yet so I had her lay next to me in bed which made it really tough for her to go to bed because it wasn't what she was used to.  While I stayed in the room getting the kids to sleep, Peter went out exploring.  When he got back, I went out on my own and found the yummy Neapolitan style flat pizza which is sooooo delicious (Probably one of my top 3 favorite foods on a Carnival ship).  My suitcase didn't get delivered until 12:20 which was super annoying.

Emmalyn slept in a crib.  It was a little cramped but she managed.

Maxwell knocked out in his bed.

So excited to be on a cruise!!!
