Last Cruise Post- I Promise!

Just one last post about the cruise ship itself- it was a big boat with a lot of fun things for the kids. There were water slides/pools but only the craziest went swimming (Kaiya and Emiko). It was way too cold for the rest of us! The kids loved seeing all of their friends in the kids club and around the ship. We rarely saw the 2 oldest. The big kids liked doing the ropes course. The grown ups liked eating meals with friends while the kids played at kids club together. It was a good time had by all. Here are some ropes course pics:

The view from the balcony in our room.

Mei was nervous in the beginning to try kids club. But by the end of the week she was having a lot of fun...and coming back every night with her face painted.

We attended a dinner/show one night on the cruise ship (sorry not a great pic)- it was fantastic. The food was yummy and the show was so entertaining- the kids were totally mesmerized by all of the acts. Brian said it was almost more entertaining watching Mei- her reactions and enthusiastic clapping...

Mina at the family circus workshop- she mastered plate spinning!

Ok this isn't really related but we took a photo of the girls sitting on the floor as we waited 1.5 hrs to get through immigration when arriving at the Saint Petersburg cruise port. They were tired of being in line but there was nowhere to sit...so they sat on the ground in protest.

So now I really am done blogging about the cruise. I just love traveling with my favorite people.
