Cruisin' to Cozumel: Day 4 & Final Day

The  next day was our last full day on the ship. Our morning started out with a character breakfast in the diningroom. Shrek, Fiona and Puss N' Boots made their appearance we ate a delicious meal that included a kid's chocolate milkshake that we all ordered. LOL We watched a towel folding demonstration afterwards where we learned how a monkey, lobster, and other creative towel creatures are made. Tyler sat up front and after it was over the guy gave him a towel monkey to hold, but it ended up falling apart shortly after. We then took the children to the kid's club while Chellee, Peter, Steve, and I chilled out at the top deck lounge. It was a grey, rainy day which helped set the mood for relaxation. We picked up the kids soon enough and then headed down to the buffet lunch where Janell, Wyatt and the kids joined us. At 2pm, we were scheduled to see the ice show which was pretty good and amazing considering how rocky the ship was that day due to the weather and also the small size of the rink. Afterwards, Steve and I wanted to go back to the kid's pool where we went in the hot tub while Tyler and Abbi played in the rest of the area. Soon, however, it started to rain and so we sought out shelter under one of the decks and sat and watched as Tyler and Abbi continued to play. We got ice cream cones and then went back in the hot tub after the rain stopped. The hot tub was sooo nice and relaxing. It was the perfect way to spend our last full day on the ship. We stayed until it was time to get ready for our last formal dinner. Dinner was wonderful, as always and we asked the head server if he could make another "Jimmy" (a bunny out of a napkin that he made them a couple night's ago). He ended up making them all one. We said thank you and so long to all our wonderful servers and then headed downstairs to view the photos the ship photographers had taken of us during the cruise. We all then went to the cafe for a short time before saying goodnight. Tyler was asked to stay over at Grandma's cabin again for a sleepover which was soo very nice of her. Tyler was super excited and Steve and I greatly appreciated the time to ourselves. The next morning we got up early and did our last minute packing before heading down to breakfast where we met Chellee, Peter, Grandma and the kids. We quickly ate breakfast and then went and gathered up our things to head off the ship. We said sadly goodbye to Grandma, Janell and family and then Chellee and Peter kindly drove us to the airport. It took us all day to get home because of a long layover in D.C. Overall, it was wonderful to see the family again. We had an awesome time spending time with everyone. Sandy is one of the best mothers ever. It was so nice seeing her so happy. We love you very much, Mom. :)
