St. Kitts

Our last stop was in St. Kitts. But we weren't in port til lunchtime, so we spent the morning on the ship. It was nice to sleep in a little later that morning. Ben took Kiersten and Evie to breakfast while I packed our suitcases, and Kara slept. When she woke up we had a nice late breakfast together.

Kiersten and Evie wanted to go to the pool, so that's how we spent a good amount of our morning.

This little pool is fun, but crowded most of the time.

Evie was the only one that played on the splash pad.

The kids put on a little performance for the parents. Kara decided not to participate, but Evie and Kiersten were very excited about it. There's Evie to the left in her Pirate Fairy dress again.

They got to dance on stage with Mickey and Minnie. You can spot Kiersten to the left in a sea foam green skirt.

Kara wanted her picture by the spiderweb window.

Kiersten and Evie got to meet Doc McStuffins. I hadn't realized Ben took them to breakfast with such crazy hair.

Ben and I went up on deck to see St. Kitts as we came up to it.

Suddenly, Mickey came wandering over, and posed for a picture with me. The girls were jealous when I told them, because I had already gotten to ride in the elevator with him earlier in the week. Kara said she thought he was avoiding her. Ha!

We decided to do some exploring by ourselves while the kids were still in the Oceaneer club. I was thrilled to meet these little monkeys as we were walking around. Our server at dinner had told us about the monkeys the previous night, and warned us that he wouldn't hold or touch them, but we might want to get the kids photos standing near them. Ben knew as soon as he mentioned it that I'd have to hold some monkeys, and he was right. They were just too cute.

We walked over to this church/tower. It was a nice walk over to it, and the grounds were kept so nice.

The lady working there opened the tower so we could climb up. The staircase was pretty narrow and steep.

We didn't realize there would be 7 flights of ladder-like stairs to climb! But I ate a lot at breakfast, and was kinda glad to burn some calories.

We finally made it to the top, and it was worth the trek. We had the most amazing view.

I was glad we left the girls behind, because there is no way we could have gotten all 3 of them to climb all the way up. It was one of the highlights of the vacation for me, even though I had some sore legs the next morning.

There were lots of fun fish and jelly fish right up by the ship. I wish the pictures had captured them better.

The girls were excited to get off the ship. Mostly because we told them about the monkeys.

We found the same monkeys I had held earlier. The girls just loved them! Evie was ridiculously happy about their little diapers. She's still talking about that!

Kiersten was a little hesitant, but once she had the monkey, she was pretty thrilled.

We didn't book anything in St. Kitts, so we just wandered around for a bit and did some shopping.

We met another monkey on our way back. This one was a little bigger, and it didn't have an outfit. He was a fun little guy.

Ben had to buy a new shirt, because it was so hot that he completely sweated through his first one. It looked like he had jumped in a pool. It was really hot, but the shop owners insisted it was just a pleasant, warm day.

The girls loved dessert that evening. It was decorate your own cupcake night.

We all got to draw a stick figure, and at the end of dinner, they all danced on the screen. The girls got a kick out of that. Kara's stick figure is the one on the left.

Kiersten's is the far left, and one of those might be Ben's, but I can't remember what his looked like, oops!

And at the end, we got to see our signatures on the screen, so that was fun.

Kara got to stay up late and go watch "Alexander's bad day" (or whatever it's called) by herself. She was proud of her independence and loved the movie. The other girls went to sleep early while Ben and I went to some of the adult entertainment. We had a fun last night.


It was a super fun cruise, and it flew by with having so many ports to stop at. We were sad to leave when it was over. The girls were the best behaved that they have been on any vacation. We really just had no problems with them, so that was great. I am looking forward to our next cruise, and we'll only have 2 stops, so we'll have more time to do stuff on the ship. We actually booked our next 2 cruises, so if anyone wants to go in May or December next year, we'll see you there!
