THURSDAY, Day 4 – Port of Call: Cozumel, Mexico. (If you missed it, check out Day 1, Day 2 & Day 3 first.)
Luckily, we got to sleep in again on day 4, since we had to wake up so early the day before. So we slept until about 9 a.m., had breakfast in the Windjammer, and then wen to morning trivia, where did absolutely terrible, and only got about 9 out of 20 questions.

OK first of all, if you missed it, I posted my first 3 cruise blog post recaps today. Click here for Day 1, Day 2, and Day 3.
Today was another full day of hurricane prep. Schools were closed, State offices were closed, and we did a bunch of work around the house. Well, first we had egg & cheese bagels, and Emmie ate an entire slice of bread with her eggs & cheese.

WEDNESDAY, Day 3 – Port of Call: George Town, Grand Cayman. (If you missed it, check out Day 1 and Day 2.)
We woke up super early on Wednesday morning, had a quick, light breakfast in the Windjammer, and reported to our meeting spot by 6:50 a.m., to head out on our excursion! The port here isn’t deep enough for the giant ships to go all the way in, so we all loaded up in a smaller tender to head to the island.

TUESDAY, Day 2 – Day at Sea sailing to George Town, Grand Cayman. (If you missed it, check out Day 1.)
We went to bed the night before, before 10pm, and we ended up sleeping in until 10am the next morning! As I mentioned before, we had an interior cabin, so there were no windows, and it was pitch black in our room. We had planned to wake up and get going around 8:30, but didn’t wake up until they made a ship-wide announcement, and it dinged in our cabin! Apparently, being the parents of a very busy 1-year-old girl makes you need 12 hours of sleep on the first night of your cruise! …

Well, after a week of vacation, we went back to work on our regular schedule today. Emmie did great at drop-off this morning like usual, and was ready to play with her friends and teachers!

It was my turn for nursery duty in Emerson’s class today during the Sunday School hour. We took them down to the “play room” for a while, and this little cutie got her cowgirl on!

We made it back on land from our cruise! We left last Monday morning (today is Saturday, for future reference), and got back to our house around 2:30. I plan to write blog post entries (with tons of photos!) for each day of this past week, but this post is just a quick update of today only. Then I’ll work on the other posts over the next few days.

Today was a loooong, busy day. It’s a little past 10pm, and I’m just now really sitting down to rest for the first time since… well, since all day. Since it’s late, and I’m exhausted, I’m going to keep the writing to a minimum tonight and just share a few quick things.
Yogurt & toast for breakfast before church.

Jeff went to the church first thing this morning in for a men’s breakfast, followed by a few hours spent as a work day on our church campus. So I made cinnamon & pumpkin french toast for Emmie and I. Unfortunately I didn’t realize until everything was done, that we didn’t have any syrup. Oh well, plenty of butter did the trick.
