We spent day three in Labadee, a Royal Caribbean private island. Matt and I went nine years ago and it has changed drastically so Matt REALLY wanted to go back...one of the reasons we went on this particular cruise.
Cooper flirting with some college girls while we were patiently waiting to get off the ship...we had a little bit of a delay (20 minutes maybe) due to a medical emergency. We had to wait for the helicopter who was getting someone that had gotten sick to get off the ship before we could get off.
Cooper and I played at the splash pad while Matt and Anna Lauren figured out exactly what they wanted to do...there were many things they wanted to do so they had to walk around and get their plan.
Cooper and I spent a lot of time just playing in the sand. He was perfectly content and could have stayed there ALL day long. Matt and Anna Lauren hit the water slide and the roller coaster. Cooper was too little, but he never complained once...he was so happy playing in the sand and water.
Cooper was big enough to do the inflatables so they all did this together...love these three and their happy faces...what vacation is all about...smiles and family!
Like I said, we LOVE pretty water!
This child...she cheers/stunts EVERYWHERE we go!
Coming down the water slide...
Cooper is in his "happy" place...
Headed back to the ship after a fun day in Labadee...
This just gives you an idea of how large this ship is...the people walking to get on the ship look like ants beside the big boat.
Once we got back on the boat, we had a super late lunch and then the kids crashed. This is the first time on 7 cruises that we have skipped dinner (we would not do early dinner again...we like late). But once they got up, they couldn't wait to go ice skating...this was the first night the ice skating rink was open. Cooper fussing here because Daddy wouldn't let him do "tricks".
He would make one loop around the rink and then take a break...Matt would make a loop alone or with Anna Lauren and then get Cooper again.
Pure sweetness...I wish these kids REALLY knew how great of a Daddy they have...they just think all Daddy's are like him.
After ice skating we decided we were ready for dinner so we had a late night dinner (yes, 10 PM) at Johnny Rockets. Super fun and so something you only get to do on vacation...
And we ended the night watching the show in the Promenade from our room...
The stage was right outside our window. They did start throwing light up rings so Matt took them to the Promenade so they could get a ring. And then we went to sleep with excitement of Jamaica when we woke up the next morning.
