Cruisin'!

UPDATE! Photos of the girls at sea and Formal Night.

Cruise Day 1 & 2-
We leave Seattle.
Excitement!
This is a big ship!

Once on board, nearly the first thing we do, the entire ship does, is an emergency drill- and our family fails miserably. Thankfully, that’s what drills are for. If it had been an actual emergency, S & L would have been on their own lifeboat, K & I would have been on the wrong lifeboat, and we had no idea where Su was… oops. Official family post-drill debrief worked out those kinks.

That day and the next have been spent at sea. Swimming, resting, and lots of eating taking place. Some ping-pong and shuffleboard. No bingo, yet…

Formal night, and we get into our fancy outfits.
Which is ok, every once in a while. These folks clean up pretty nice. ;-)

Monday, we disembark at Juneau.
Alaska is gorgeous!
Big!

I am reminded of reading from Psalm 104 last week:
O Lord, how many are Thy works!
In wisdom Thou hast made them all;
The earth is full of Thy possessions.
There is the sea, great and broad,
In which are swarms without number,
Animals both small and great.
There the ships move along…
(v. 24-26)
