"DAM" Cruise

Alright let me explain the title of this blog, because I am not being vulgar!  The Holland America Cruise Line has the tradition of all of their ships ending in "dam."  The Eurodam (our brand spankin' new ship!), the Westerdam, the Rotterdam and so on and so forth.  Hence their fettish with using "dam" with things throughout the week.  So remember that in the very last picture, my favorite of the week.

So anyways, here are some of the pictures taken throughout our AWESOME week in the Caribbean!  

However...before we get to the details and such...we'd like to dedicate a big 
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!
to the man who made the whole week of fun festivities with family possible!
We sure do love him and appreciate the chance we had to make all those memories because of him.  :)



They had quite a few basketball things throughout the week which Tyler very much enjoyed.



We had to do countless things to keep her entertained each night at dinner!


THE BAHAMAS!

Off to the Bahamas!


Welcome!!
 

She's going through a climbing face to say the least.


I LOVE this picture of Ryan and Kara. :)


Bugs was a little afraid of the cold water, so we play a game with her in pools, where one of us goes under the water, and then pops out to say "boo!" and she cracks up every time.  It was oh so very cute.


Just a cute random shot of her face on the way back.


PUERTO RICO!

Part of the old forts we visited and the BEAUTIFUL coastline. 


Just being the doll that she is!


A cool looking little side street.


I admit I totally staged this picture of the boys...but its cool looking!  All of them together. :)


Taking the trolley back to our boat.  Notice the baby totally knocked out on my lap!


This is the only one I felt worthy of posting from our diving trip in St. Thomas.  Isn't Kara the greatest!?!?










This one HAD to be last.  After a week of going to cruise activites to earn "Dam Dollars" (yes...thats right!) we had something like $280 of them!  So the final night we went and all picked out sweaters and t-shirts that said "Dam Ships" on them!  

What a happy "dam" family!
