Bennett playing basketball and Glenn taking a dip

Madi sun bathing with Joelle after their spa treatment. "The drink of the day"- a "YellowBird".

Bennett watching the big boys play basketball. He got on the court a few times- would get the ball passed to him and he'd pass it back.

Glenn and Bennett in the hot tub.

Our little monkeys climbing around

Carnival Whale Tail

Bennett exhausted- getting some sympathy from Phin. He and Glenn participated in "Camp Carnival" off and on during the cruise. It was a daycare setting with structured activities that kept them entertained.

Waiting to go to Ensenada- our second and last port of call.

walking around town

Enjoyed mini golf on the top deck of the ship.

Everyday the staff would make different animals out of towels and place them on our beds.

Bennett got a little woozy one morning so we sat outside, hung out, and ate breakfast on the stern for a while until he felt better.

Phin and Glenn running around the track

We had a fantastic time and look forward to when we can go again- maybe next time to the Carribean where it's hot hot hot!!!
