Last night, when we got home from church, I had gotten Alaina to bed and I really just wanted to lay down and relax a little before having to go to bed. Caitlin yells for me to come upstairs. UGH! She made it sound like something was wrong with Percy. So I ran upstairs . . .
and found this!
Can you tell what he is doing? He has two back legs holding on to the lid and his tail wrapped around a branch. The rest of him is just dangling, in a back bend position. What is he doing? Is that comfortable. He looked so stiff, I was afraid he died in some strange attempt at a trick. But no, he was breathing. I guess this is what geckos do for fun!
It was interesting getting the lid off the tank so we could feed him. I felt bad disturbing him, but props to Percy for the cool trick!
I'm not sure why I feel the need to take pictures every time the girls get their hair cut. They didn't do anything drastic. Maybe it's because they just look so cleaned up. LOL
We had such a fun time with Brandon and Marisa on the cruise!
Why won't he pose for a picture?
Jacksonville was a very easy port to get in and out of. There is only one ship that leaves from here so the parking is on site and not crowded at all.
View from our balcony
Since technically this was their honeymoon, the waiter sang to them. He was a nut ball!
Day 1 was a day at sea. We ate, lounged, ate, lounged, etc.
Day 2 was supposed to be Half Moon Cay, one of our favorite islands ever. But the water was too choppy to safely tender to the shore. We drove right past it and had another day at sea.
The slides on the boat were fun.
Day 3 was at Nassau, Bahamas.
In Nassau, we went to the Atlantis Resort. They have an awesome water park.
They had this huge chair. So we posed for some pictures.
Brandon took our picture and left us this as a present.
Walking through the resort, we pass this Aquarium so we looked while we waited for the water park to open.
This fish was bigger than Marisa!
The waterpark was awesome. Rusty and Brandon wanted us to go on this Leap of Faith. Uh NO!
And Rusty in Slo Mo . . .
I was just fine with watching that ride! I had no desire to do that one.
Some of the other rides:
The Surge
The Drop
The Challenger
The Drop (again)
But my favorite was the Lazy River.
To go one time around probably took about 20 minutes and it had rapids. It was amazing!
The resort was beautiful and I would definitely go back if we have a chance!
Dinner that night -
Do you see how many appetizers Brandon has? That would be 5. He can eat!!
Day 4 was supposed to be a sea day but since we missed Half Moon Cay, they added a stop at Freeport, Bahamas. As soon as we got off the ship to figure out what to do, it started pouring. So we just got back on the ship and got in the covered hot tub.
