Halloween Cruise

OK, so it's been 3 months since the last update - been a little busy. Here are some pics of our cruise over Halloween (kid's fall break from school) with some good friends of ours - the Hansens (with all the kids) and the Calls. We sailed out of Houston, stayed on the ship in Montego Bay, Jamaica (don't get me started on the dump called Montego Bay), played in the water in Grand Cayman (I went diving with Rob Hansen while Ang and the kids went with Babette and their kids to the beach), and played with the dolphins in Cozumel. Rob and I went diving in Cozumel also while everyone else played on the beach.


















We all had a blast, ate a ton and had more fun. Our family won the ship's "ultimate race" with the kids - did the chicken dance near the toddler's pool, ran up and down all 13 stories, started a congo line, Sarai hugged 10 people, smeared ice cream all over Sarai's face, painted smileys on the kids faces with ketchup, Shem proposed and all sorts of stuff. We had races down the water slide. Gravity helped speed me to first place. I edged out Rob in the water games. I gained 10 lbs during the week (food was great) but no worries - I lost it all within a week being home.





























Well, enjoy some pics of the trip and one extra of Grandpa Brown with the kids in the snow right after Thanksgiving.
