Cruise 2013 day 7

Grand Turk: We are kayaking with Seth and Cheri while Grandma Karen and Papa Bill take the kids to Governors Beach to snorkel. The water was beautiful. We went to a little lake to kayak. We had a tour guide who told us all about the plants (the mangroves are really popular) on the island and let us know a little history too.

 

We parked our kayaks and toured this little island by foot. We got to see cactus and other plants.

 

This is the Circle of Life: We got to touch/hold anenome and a sea cucumber. There were conch's too. We had the option to eat the conch meat. They showed  us how to properly detach the strong muscle that holds the conch in his shell. Jeremy tried some of the conch meat and said it tasted like calamari. I was not brave enough to try it.

 

Mom and dad get a couple hours free of kids now. They are going to camp carnival. Evan is really excited and Caitlyn is going in strong protest. She wanted to stay with us for dinner but we ditched her anyway. Evan loved camp carnival. He was having a blast playing with kids his age instead of hanging out with us.

It is elegant night so we are all dressed up and we did pictures in the lobby.

 

Jeff and the magician.

We are still trying to figure this one out. Maybe a platapus or gorilla,

  Another show in the Amber Palace. It was the Divas show. It was great. I did not know alot of the songs but I went with it.

We had a late night snack with John and Joy.

 

Watching Pirates of the Carribbean on the big screen.
