Cruise Vacation ~ Day 5...

Our last full day on the ship...all good things must come to an end, right?


We started our day at the character breakfast...


It took Cooper a while to warm up to the characters this particular morning...




Cooper finally warmed up and decided to give some high fives...




He still would not have a picture without Mommy or Daddy...



After breakfast, Anna Lauren wanted to go play in the kids club for a little while.  This was the only time she went all week, and we never took Cooper.  So...Cooper played a few games in the arcade with Daddy.


We got an invitation to a galley tour, which we were very excited to do...we thought we would see more "action" but it was still interesting.  Well, the few minutes Anna Lauren and I stayed.  The boat was REALLY rocking Friday...I never really got sick, but I didn't feel great/like it and Anna Lauren said she had a bad headache.  We got a Sprite and went back to the room while Matt and Cooper finished the tour.  I will say it was the first time on 7 cruises that I remember it rocking so bad/making me feel bad.




Let's just say this was not the "smooth" water we had seen all week...


After sleeping for a couple hours, we all feel better and the ship didn't seem to be rocking as bad so we continued on with our day.







This particular ship has a Cupcake Cupboard and offers cupcake decorating classes...Anna Lauren had waited all week for this so she was super excited.  While we were waiting to start, the cruise director stopped by and visited with the kids...they thought this was fun because he was all into them.



There is no telling what she is telling them...every once in a while, I catch them in a "sweet" moment.






They each decorated two cupcakes...a frog and a lion...both turned out super cute!


Before dinner, we played family bingo and here we were just hanging out waiting on time for dinner.  So thankful I can still get them in matching outfits...just precious!





It was so windy...needless to say, we pretty much spent this day inside.  Between the wind, the boat rocking, and sunburn, inside was the best choice!



Later that night we spotted the Cupcake Cupboard chef and took a picture with him...



It's just the little things we love about a cruise...such as a heart out of your straw paper.


Our assistant waiter...we actually liked him better than our waiter. Not that our waiter was bad...we just liked the assistant better.



Sad...the one family picture we got and it's with a character. O'well...we are all together with smiles on our faces.


And by the end, Cooper had really warmed up...he was giving kisses!



Back in the room for the night to pack up and head back home after a super fun week. Notice the monkey by Cooper...that was his favorite, and he left it by his bed all week.  The stateroom attendant took it down, and he got really upset and asked her to make him another one...so she did!


And the perfect end to a perfect vacation...in his pajamas, watching the Ipad, and eating one last piece of pizza.  I cannot tell you how many pieces of pizza our family alone consumed in a week...I will say they said 70,000 our eaten by everyone on the ship in one week.  Let's just say we had our share and enjoyed every last bite!
