Freedom of the Seas Day 6

Day 6

The boat at sea is a totally different place than the boat in port...the elevators are more crowded and take longer to get to your floor and the pools are elbow to elbow. Emmie and I were up early though (unlike the rest of the cruisers) and watched the sun come up again. We all went up to breakfast at the windjammer and then Emmie and I were the only ones at the pool for about three hours. We both got a yummy smoothie. Daddy was back at the room with a napping Chase but came down to meet up with us for the baby group (which I had the wrong time for...doh) and then we brought Emmie to the arcade again where she really just likes to climb on the ride on games. Back to the room for naps....

We ended up waking the kiddos early to go meet with the Digital Wedding Chat group for lunch at Johnny Rockets again...there was a long wait, then a longer wait at the table. Thankfully, the wait was filled with fries and good converstation. We ate with Gino and Heather of Story by Photo and Digital Wedding Chat (DWC...photogs check it out!), Steve Davis and his wife Trina, Jedd & Casey of Blake Slade Photography, and Jake & Michaela (the resident models for the trip). We had some fun with the wide angle lens and got some funny pics.

We sat around for a good while until everyone decided it was time to go our separate ways. We came back here for a bit to feed Chase and change into bathing suits..Emmie was losing it though because her nap was cut short so we ended up just hanging out until the sunset and then we went up on board to catch some quick pictures of the kids around the ship (we were hoping for some fun Christmas card images!!) and some sunset shots...poor Emmie bonked her noggin (she gets clumsy when tired) and had a hard time recovering from that (complete with instant bruise) but we made it to dinner and she did well (and Chase didn't) again. After dinner it was over to the photo booths to check out our pictures and then up to the promendade to eat our dessert...then you guess it, back to bed for Emmie and Chase! Chase loves his baths in the sink and Emmie is truly on vacation watching movies on the laptop before bed and eating ice cream almost daily!
