March Break - Sea Day

Health update: the last couple of days, Lucas has been dealing with a fairly high fever. When we give him children's Tylenol, it brings it down to under 100, sometimes even around 98. However, towards the end of the 6 hour cycle, it can get as high as 104. We're not super concerned since his fevers tend to be like this, but since it's been going on for 3 days and we just got back from a vacation, I'll probably be bringing him to the doctor tomorrow. No need to get too worried, but I'll update to let you know how it went.

Between Nassau and St Thomas, we had a couple of sea days on the cruise. During that time, we took a whopping total of 4 photos, 3 of which I present to you now.

The first one is just him and Brandon playing on the deck chairs. For what it's worth, although most people are out first thing in the morning, getting the best chairs they can get, I think I spent less than a half hour total on them during our trip. I got all the sun I wanted at the beaches, I guess.

The second and third photos are from face painting Lucas had done while at Camp Carnival (he's a bunny, if you can't tell). For the uninitiated, CC is Carnival's "daycare." It's completely free, and it gives you a place to drop off your kids from 10 AM to 10 PM. It's broken down by age so each age group has its own activities going on. Lucas probably spent an average of 3-4 hours a day there during our trip. It was particularly nice to have a couple of quiet dinners, without him and his cohorts running around the table like hooligans. We honestly weren't sure if he would take to it, but by the end, he didn't want to leave.

I know other ships, particularly the Disney cruise line, have their versions of Camp Carnival that may be bigger and better, but from what we saw of his time there, it was a great experience. We would definitely do it again.
