Here's David's finished pumpkin.
And here it is with the candle...
On the third day of the cruise, David and I took the girls to Camp Carnival and we hit the Dzul-Ha Reef alone.
We got a chance to try out our underwater camera case. It worked really well.
It was raining that morning, so some of the pictures are the brightest, but we still saw some colorful fish.
I knew that I had a few hang-ups...like not being able to wear layers and stuff. But when I put on the mask and snorkel, it was so constricting that I had a mini-panic attack. I thought I was controlling myself pretty well despite this until David grabbed my arm.
I got this shot of David swimming down by part of the reef.
The fish.
After our solo snorkeling expedition, we went back to the boat and grabbed the girls, had lunch, and headed back onto the island to Paradise Beach.
This was the girls' first trip to a beach.
David showing them the oceanic wildlife.
Bekah swimming in the ocean.
The girls' way of looking for seashells.
Bekah's find.
Lydia's find.
I asked the girls to pose for me and this is what I got.
David found this pier with fish swimming all around it. So we all headed to check it out.
The girls were little pros, just swimming and watching all the fish underwater.
Here's a quick pic of Lydia and me snorkeling.
A lady on the pier gave us some dog biscuits to feed the fish.
After the snorkeling, we headed back to the beach to build some sandcastles.
The sandcastle building quickly turned into hole-digging!
Isn't she beautiful?
This is a pic of David taking a pic of me from the pier!!
Sandy legs.
Sandy bottom.
Then it was back on the boat for dinner.
Yes. That "shim" (she/him), as we began referring to shim. We later learned that his/her name is Gregory.
If you want to keep it a secret that you're really a man, then maybe you shouldn't wear gold lemay stretch pants.
I was trying to take these photos on the sly...so I was acting like I was taking a pic of David...but really it's of Gregory who's doing a dance move right behind him to the song:
The boyfriend, who, two nights later, got completely smashed, made a scene in the restaurant, got reprimanded by his mother, and then proceded to sob during half of dinner. Yeah! Quite the entertainment.
I really just cannot adequately describe this couple.
And, after this eventful dinner, this gorilla greeted us in our room.
