Royal Caribbean Cruise

 WOW, oh WOW!  What a wonderful time I had on my very first cruise ever!  We sailed on the "Allure of the Seas" cruise ship and we all had the best time.  I feared having motion sickness but I never even knew when the ship docked or sailed away!

We didn't get off of the ship when we docked at Nassau, but we did on the Royal Caribbean private island of CoCo Cay. That is where we "swam with the pigs."  I grew up on a hog farm so I never could see the big woo about getting in the water with a bunch of stinky, smelly pigs!  They pooped all of the time!

Other than that, I had so much fun that I would like to go on a cruise again!

I roomed with the Dempsey Darlings.  The room was extremely small, but we didn't care!

This was hanging in our room the second night.

A very small room for four people:)

Anabelle loved sitting in the port window....especially while we were sailing.

Hello Atlantis in the background!

This was the design from our first night.

Killeran Lakes Daddy-Daughter Dance

 Palmer is in the 5th grade and attended her last KLES Daddy-Daughter dance.  She looked so beautiful and it's a happy time for her, but sad that she's growing up and will be leaving elementary school soon.

Mary Aaron had a great time at the dance, too, and looked gorgeous in her dress, complete with a pocketbook to match!

Laps, Laps, Laps!

 Palmer, Mary Aaron and John all ran laps for a fundraiser at KLES.

Bryce had been out of town for a week and surprised Mary and John with attending the Fun Run because they had no idea he was back home.  What a great surprise!
