Halifax, Canada!

Going on the Harbourwalk! One of the longest boardwalks in North America.

Sailboat! Wish we would have been there for the sail days! tons of sailboats on those days.

Just looking at the sites.

A camera man stopped us and asked us to be on the news! Here he is hooking a mic on Ma!!! We were on TV! Granted, I'll never see it but... still!

Pretty little town!

My dad and the crazy tired Dallas! Room service again tonight. Oh darn! ;-)

Halifax was such a neat place. I loved seeing the sailboats and walking along the board walk just taking in the neat shops. one of my favorite places was a little cafe' with tables outside. It had the most beautiful bright blue glasses! It reminded me of a french cafe! I want those glasses one day!!! I can't believe we were on TV too! Ma did a great job talking. I would have been so nervous, I would have jumbled the whole thing!

First Sea Day!

Sunday morning we came back to our state room to a towel buddy and the place a made up!

Grandma watched Dallas While Grandpa and I took the kiddos to explore the ship and see the ocean.

Looking at the Ocean!

Our 1st day at sea was sooo much fun! We walked a lot, ate good food and played put put. We also saw some of the hairiest Italian men I'd ever seen and watched a professional ice sculptor. It was such a great day!

Goodbye to Grandmas & Leaving on the Cruise!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On Saturday the 16th we said goodbye to the Grandmas and drove to New York to climb aboard our Cruise Ship, the Carnival Glory.

We checked out our state rooms and then before we knew it we were on deck at our muster stations to learn about what to do in an emergency. Then we took and Registered the big kids with Camp Carnival so Brook and Mase could do lots of fun activities during our first day at sea!

The 1st evening we had early dining at 6pm and we all went to our Golden Room for dinner. I ordered Talapia, Dad had Steak and Ma ordered pork chops. Brook and Mase had pizza and I got Macaroni and Cheese for Dallas. Dallas was so overly tired, he was a huge struggle all throughout dinner. I was especially nervous because of all the glasses and plates on the table. I quickly decided that dining in the regular dining room would not work out for Dallas so from that night on, I ordered room service to my state room for us. It was much less stressful!

The kids were SOO excited to be on such a big boat! They couldn't wait to see the ocean but it was too dark to see when they went to bed so they'd have to see the next day...
