Mickey Boat Day 7

A Good Morning

Swimming Lu

This beautiful morning we woke up in Cozumel, Mexico.  The weather was hot!  We were scheduled to be here until shortly after lunch- its a short stop- so again not having preplanned a port adventure, we decided we would stay aboard and take advantage of the empty pools (there aren't any excursions recommended here for 3 and under but shopping would have be fun if there had been more time).  Breakfast at Topsiders and then swimming all the way to and through lunch:)  The littles loved it!  4+ hours of splashing, sliding, and swimming.  Annabelle made some friends and they played the entire time together- jumping around like kindergartners do!  There was an ice cream break before lunch (because we are super cool parents like that!).

Afternoon

Lunch, change and craft!  The family craft this afternoon was princess crowns- decorating them with markers, jewels, glitter and more.  Craft time with followed by story time with Princess Belle in the Oceaneer Club.  Very exciting!!!  We later learned from the girls that Princess Belle read them a story about the Beast and then the girls made another craft- the Beast's enchanted rose.  Sam was in need of some play time so he went to Flounder's Nursery for an hour.  Mommy and Daddy enjoyed drinks at the bar and taking in the view from the aft deck (farthest rear you can get) it had a great view of Cozumel as we were leaving.

Evening
Alice was out and about before dinner- she remembered us from the tea party.  And we got to see Mickey once again!

This evening we skipped our fancy dinner- and surprisingly we ended up eating one of the best dinners of the trip!  Jonathan got a fantastic steak and the kids and I enjoyed a wonderful pasta and chicken dish.  Dessert was had by all!  We had a small break before the night's show so we squeezed in a bath for the little babies.  All clean and happy we headed down to catch the Broadway style show Dreams.  This was by far my favorite show of the cruise!  It was great- the songs and choreography were fantastic- the effects were wonderful, streamers shot out, it snowed on the audience, bubbles danced above us- and the sets were fabulous!
