Thanksgiving Cruise with the Footes Part 6 - The end

We went back to doing the buffet for breakfast this morning (Max would have preferred the dining room).

Peter did a "Behind the Scenes" tour of the boat with Taylor and Nathan and apparently it was really cool.  I took the kids to Camp Ocean and spent a bit of time just walking around with Maren

Towel folding class

We played some corn hold, picked up the kids and had lunch, and then it was my turn to watch them nap.

Our room

Video - this is Emmalyn's standard order at dinner.  She places the order herself.  :)

It won't come as a surprise that we did Karaoke that night.  :) Maxwell did 3 songs - "Shut up and dance", 21 pilots "Ride", and "Hit me with your best shot".  

It was super cute because he started throwing in some great dance moves this time.

Tammy and Nathan even sang!

Emmalyn hung out at the kids club late tonight because Max wanted to stay out late and she would have more fun there watching movies and other things.

Last night of fun towel animals

After the show, I got my walk in.  These hallways are LONG!  I've done a good job of still getting my steps in!

Here are more of the pictures we had taken last night and over the course of the cruise.  (I snuck shots of them with my cell phone because there's no way I'm spending the crazy amount of money that they want for them!)

At breakfast our last morning.  Double-fisted cereal eating

Leaving the boat

The Footes had some time before their flight so we hung out with them and walked around Galveston before we hit the road.

We got some lunch!  (It''s always painful that first time you go out after a cruise and have to PAY for your meal.) :)

There was some pretty wild driving going on with the stroller and unfortunately it didn't make it out alive.  Goodbye umbrella stroller that's lasted us 5 years!

So tired on the drive home that she knocked out while reading

Thanksgiving cruise with the Footes - Part 5 Thanksgiving

Some of the pics we have taken so far...

Our second to last full day on the boat was Thanksgiving! We got quick a lot of things in!  We all had breakfast in the dining room rather than the buffet.  Unfortunately we let Emmalyn have some ice cream before we ate (ice cream leads to bad things digestively in my family...) and so she had a blowout at breakfast that I had to deal with.

While the kids napped with Peter, I stayed out with the Foote's.  We enjoyed played cards and then had lunch.  

After they woke up and ate, we dropped the kids off at the kids club for an hour.

Other fun things we did today: played mini golf, tried to find these little rubber duckies hidden all over the ship, and did some trivia.

Gorgeous Day

We got dressed up for dinner and Peter got some room service since we hadn't done it all trip.  We also tried to watch a little of the Cowboys football game. 

Since we were all dressed up, we took some photos.

The whole group

Fancy dinner

Dinner took FOREVER.  Seriously, most people during our seating had finished and left by the time we got our entrees.  I know it was Thanksgiving and everyone wanted the same thing but come on, they should have been better prepared.  It was sort of a traditional turkey dinner but with a twist.  It didn't end up being very good. 

Entertaining the kids during some trivia

We were only passing time until it was time for karaoke! No one was really into it tonight so it was just Max and me while everyone else went to do something else.  Maxwell did a song by himself and then everyone showed back up.  Maren, Emmalyn, Maxwell and I did "Let it go" from Frozen.  

Then Maxwell did "shut up and dance".  There weren't a lot of people in there but when it was time for Maxwell to sing, people passing the room would come in and watch.  (I had a woman stop me in the bathroom and ask me specifically if my son was going to do karaoke because they were only coming to see him sing.)  He definitely drew a crowd!
