Caribbean Cruise!

We went for 10 days on a cruise to the Caribbean islands with Jaren's sister Bekah and our brother-in-law Judd. This was such a fun trip and I'm glad we went! See our big ship.
Formal night all dressed up, and this picture isn't very good because I took a picture of a picture and got in trouble for it. :)
Sulfur baths with mud facials in St. Lucia at an active volcano. Boy did our swim suits stink for quite some time after this volcano visit. It was fun and our faces felt great!!
St. Lucia island overlook. On this island we also visited a banana plantation, and ate yummy rice cakes, and bananas. Our driver was hilarious he caught our attention by only speaking to the ladies of the group, "I'm Kenny the Wheeler Dealer, come with me and I'll show you around."
Britney and a big snake! I actually like snakes but that not Jaren. Notice no photo of him with the snake.
Bekah over comes her fear and holds the snake, way to go!
Judd, impartial to whether he likes the snake or not?
Jaren giving the island kids a dental check up and then paid them for the exam. These boys were thrilled to get some American dollars. In return they picked us some fruit from a nearby tree. St. Lucia
We LOVE this cruise because what's a cruise without love :)
We LOVE to dance!
We LOVE to dive with sea turtles for 60% less than all the other suckers on our boat! The boys are quite the bargainers! Barbados
Another island Barbados!
Waterfalls in Grenada!
Exploring around the waterfalls in Grenada. Bekah & Britney
Sailing away into the sunset!


Jaren and Judd won the basketball tournament, we won the ping pong tournaments, and the water volley ball maybe, and x-box? We played lots of games, and pretty much collected shirts, metals, mugs, and lanyards.
Hot coco anyone!
Ice cream bar of course! This was a regular visit several times a day. Judd, Jaren, and Bekah got ice cream, and I had candy toppings like m&m's & sour patch kids in a bowl. The we sat close to this station and played cards for long hours while refilling our ice cream & candy bowls!!
Our ocean view fine dining, where we ate way too much! Oh and Jaren saved a life of an old lady who needed the Heimlich and after 2 others tried he came over and saved the day! She was very grateful!
Formal night!
Caves we hiked through to get to the beach on Virgin Gorda!
First fish catch of the trip!
The Baths at Tortola in the British Virgin Islands
Jaren jumping into the baths, don't slip like Britney did.
Church in St. Marten
Playing cards, monopoly deal, rook, or golf were our favorite! Bekah and I have got to beat Jaren & Judd after they made fun of us for a long time because they killed us so bad in Rook. Oh well, Bekah is better off with Judd as a partner :)
Dancing again! Because what's a cruise without the dancing!

Monkey named Jack on Jaren's shoulder in Grenada
Eating crab and sitting on the beach in Aruba!
Checking out the Dutch island Curacao. It was very colorful and fun to find some blue and white dutch vases and coin dishes for me and my family. They remind me of the decor in my Grandma Anderson's home.
More fine dining
And last but not least one of my favorites Apple Pie alamode! Judd always requested his scoop of ice cream on top of the pie and it was hilarious. We are stuffed!! But can't wait to go again :)
