Allen and I along with two friends went on a eastern Caribbean cruise last week. It was so nice to get away for a few days and just chill. We left at 3 am Monday morning to start our trip.
While on this excursion we also on water seen where Tom Cruise, Oprah Winfrey and several other actors have mansions on the water.
After the excursion it was time to get back on the ship after a fun day at port. After dinner Tuesday night we went to the comedy show on the boat and the comedians were really funny.
Wednesday we were at Half Moon Cay when we woke up. It is a Carnival owned island which has sand that feels like moon sand (maybe that's part of the name?!) Allen and Chuck had the deep sea fishing excursion so Trisha and I headed for a day at the beach. 
The guys had fun, Allen had fun until he became sick with motion sickness. They were in a little fishing boat in the middle of the ocean. They both caught fish Chuck's got off at the boat and Allen actually caught a Blue Marlon (they said that they were rare for where they were fishing) but it flipped up in the air and fought long enough it broke away. Trisha and I enjoyed sunning all day with some strawberry daiquiri's. The water was pretty cool at first but then enjoyable once in. It was a nice day for us to do nothing but get some sun rays. Trisha received a bit too much but I didn't burn at all.
Thursday we were at Grand Turk, T.C. and that day I have to say I did not enjoy. The beach was just another beach nothing special, and they had several shops but nothing that caught my attention and that was it. We went to Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville to spend the day. They had a water sport called "The Flow Rider". Allen did this where you surf and knee board against a water jet on some mats. I wish I would have done this but I didn't know what it was till Allen started and by then the spots were all sold out. So once again I just laid out in the sun and watched Allen. He actually did rather well. He lasted the longest out of all the people doing it on the surf and knee board! My husband is very good at water sports though what can I say.
(Too bad the guys head is in most of the way!)
Last Thursday Gage's Preschool had their Halloween Party. They started out with normal activities and then we went to party mode. They came to school dressed in costume, Mrs. Ward carved a pumpkin with the students help, played "pin the nose on the pumpkin", went trick or treating around the school and had Halloween snacks. Then when it was time to go I sent them home with a Halloween bag full of goodies. 
Allen had a couple derby cars a guy wanted but he wanted them on trade. With the trade came a 50 cc dirt bike. It is an older model so it's a little bit bigger body then what they have now. That just means Gage is still too little to ride on his own so mom and dad get to have fun too!
