Cruise Day Four: Falmouth, Jamaica!

Thursday morning we got dressed,  had a quick breakfast and made our way to the dock at Falmouth, Jamaica!  I was excited to be in a country I had never been to before.  We found our tour guide (we booked our Cozumel and Falmouth excursions through Costco) and hopped into the van.

Our tour guide, Denise, was a lot of fun!  Actually I loved all of our tour guides the whole trip.  Our driver, Darrell, was a lot of fun too.  She taught us a lot about Jamaica on our drive to the mountain countryside.  This leaf smelled exactly like allspice!

And then we were at our zip lining place!  I would definitely be lying if I said I wasn't nervous.  This girl is afraid of heights!


We started  out with a yummy tropical fruit juice drink.



And then we were getting fitted into our harnesses. 


This place was pretty cool because we had a total of 5 zip lines we got to go across.  As I was climbing up the first one, I was so nervous my legs wouldn't stop shaking haha

But they were so fun!  The zip lining workers were great and made me feel reassured and like I could trust them :) 


This swing, however was really scary.  Way worse than Tower of Terror haha

I loved seeing the beautiful scenery!







After our zip lining adventure was over, Denise and Darryl picked us back up and we drove to an authentic Jamaican restaurant. 



We tried buying some local fruit to try, but the guy wouldn't sell us any in small enough amounts (and we couldn't take any on the ship).

The lunch was delicious!  I got the jerk chicken and some type of bakery items.

I thought this drink that Jeremy got looked gross, but he said it was pretty good!

Erik and I bought two of these ginger beers to take home.  I drank mine already, and LOVED it!  It's way better than ginger ale.  Much more gingery!

I asked Denise if we could find a little beach to grab some sand and she took us to a private resort beach and asked the guards if I could get some sand haha Oh and thank goodness that Janet had a baggie since I forgot mine that day!



After getting back on the boat, we changed into swimsuits and just layout out in the sun (actually I think first I did a quick jog).  It felt great, and we discovered a great place for laying out was on the front and back of the ship on the jogging track level.  There were chairs in the sun and had a great view of the water!



Dinner time!




And our Thursday towel animal :)

One Weekend, Three Living Arraignments

So I don't have too much time to blog, but thought I would do a quick update of our moving weekend.  First of all I wanted to post this pic of Wyatt trying to drink the rain that came last week.  It was the first time it's really rained here since we came to Arizona, and it was so weird.  Hot, muggy, rain.  All packed up and ready to go.  Friday was our last night in the apt (hallelujah!) One last goodbye To avoid having to pay into the new month, Saturday and Sunday night we stayed in a hotel (it was a lot cheaper surprisingly).  Wyatt was having lots of fun jumping on the bed. So Monday morning, as I was showering, I felt like the conditioner was making my hair feel really weird.  Well, that's because I dumped a bottle of lotion on my hair . . . FYI, that doesn't work well. Monday we finally moved in!  I took these pictures after a full day of unpacking and cleaning if you can believe it.  They look really bad, but they give you a tas...

OK, so I guess the consensus of the man giving me the flowers is creepy to everyone.  I think it's one of those times you had to have been there, because he really didn't seem creepy.  In any event the flowers still look pretty in the kitchen :) Wyatt just cracks me up these days.  I think this is just the funnest age when their personality really shows its true colors.  While we were playing in the backyard I tried to get a video of him using his "worker man voice"  It is the most hilarious thing.  He loves to do things to get me (and especially Erik) to laugh. While I was taking pictures of the boys, I decided I might as well get a shot of the baby tucked away (well not so tucked apparently) at 21 weeks.  I really am feeling so good these days, as long as I get some sleep.  Now that we are back on a normal schedule that's a lot easier to do! Jackson has reached to a new stage as well of keeping himself entertained (without the TV)...

Anna loves being by the fire.  It's actually the only time she doesn't fuss if she's set down.  This girl likes to be held! Our little Sumo wrestler A little dream smile :) We finally found some good bunk beds on Craig's List.  Jackson LOVES sleeping on the top.  I'm still keeping Wyatt in his crib, because he does so well in it.  I see no point in rocking the boat when I have a newborn to give me sleep troubles already.  We'll put Wyatt in bunk bed sometime this summer. Sweet girl.  This is one of my favorite outfits that I ordered for her, because it has my favorite color: yellow :) Jackson always wants to hold her.  Last night we had this sweet conversation: Jackson: "Mom, when are you going to wake up tomorrow morning?" (I've been able to sleep in while my parents have been here) Me: "I don't know Jackson it depends on how much Anna gets up during the night." Jackson: "Oh, I hope she doesn't need to nurse tonight...
