We're Back!

We had a wonderful time with 13 of our college and career kids. Only one of those 13 did we give birth to, and it was her first cruise! It was fun having Carissa along and getting to experience the cruise with her. We were in the Bahamas, Key West, and a private island. We took a tour of Atlantis while we were in the Bahamas, and of course, visited the straw market and bought purses! We had instructions to bring Kaylee a purse! The private island was a lot of fun. The kids found plenty to do, and I think all of us could have stayed even longer there. They had a huge slide, para sailing, snorkeling, FOOD, and shops. We stayed together for the most part, and did a lot of playing games and cards. We had our time in the sun, but also spent a lot of time in the pizza area, just playing. Since it was spring break, security was around a lot, always passing through to check on things, and pretty well knew us by the end of the week. The last night I was very proud of our group when the officers passed through and commented on how they wished other kids could have as much fun playing together as we did...instead of getting drunk and causing trouble. I don't know how we could have had any more fun than we did, and we also left a great impression without trying to impress anyone. We saw a bird at the feeder as soon as we got home, and there was a lot of food gone, so I think we are in the bird business! We are home again, for a few days, just in time to get ready for the Holy Land and the wedding!
