The second day of our cruise was a busy one! We were up early for our excursion in Nassau - swimming with dolphins!
| Sunrise in Nassau |
| Panama Jack is ready for action in the Bahamas |
| Arriving at the dolphin sanctuary, after a gorgeous ferry ride from Nassau |
| Waiting to meet our dolphin friend! |
| There he is! Clifton (and his trainer)! |
| Hannah is wearing her "I think I'm excited but also terrified" face |
| Ready to begin! |
| Clifton greeted us all with a splash. |
| A big one... |
| A round of applause for our new friend! |
| Kisses from Clifton! (Note Hannah's keeping one eye on the dolphin at all times) |
| Clifton enjoys a tummy rub |
| Our turn to pet him! |
| And rub his belly! |
| Hannah's getting braver... |
| Dolphin hugs! |
| Kisses from Clifton! |
| Megan's turn for a hug! |
| Her first kiss from a boy! Even Daddy can't get too mad about this one. |
| Grandma's turn! |
| Pretty proud of herself :) |
| Two thumbs up for swimming with dolphins! |
| Dancing with Clifton! |
| Megan's turn (she requested Mom's assistance) |
| Mom's turn! |
| Grandma fed him a fish. He was pretty happy about it. |
| Lots of love for our new dolphin friend. |
| Tummy rub |
| Checking each other out |
| Checking out his pearly whites |
| My main man, Clifton |
| Clifton waves goodbye |
| We spent some time checking the rest of the place out after our swim. Of course, cats were a major highlight... |
| Because we don't see those every day or anything...rrrright. |
| After we got over the fascinating cat display, we enjoyed watching the sea lions swim |
| ...and lounge around |
| ...and fight. Naughty sea lions. |
| This house and boat are rumored to belong to Tiger Woods |
| All the ships lined up in port - ours is the second from the left |
| Megan was sure to let everyone know our agenda for the day |
| Hannah's message was more subtle |
Once we got back on board, it was time to clean up and get ready for PIRATE NIGHT! Quite a big to-do on all Bahamian Disney cruises.
| Ready for a night of swashbucklin' (disclaimer: no idea what that means) |
| Overlooking the pumpkin tree in the lobby - all decked out for Halloween |
| The littlest pirate waits to meet Peter Pan |
| All of our favorite Neverland friends were out and about for Pirate Night |
| Posing with Peter |
| Arrrrrrr! |
| We have the cutest pirates. I mean, really? |
| Family photo opp with Captain Hook and Smee |
| Hey Tink! |
| Grandma & Grandpa got to meet Tinkerbell too |
| These gluten-free mateys enjoyed a wonderful pirate dinner |
| Fact: gluten-free pizza is the official food of pirates |
| Me and my pirate buddy |
| We got a towel monkey in our room that night - the perfect pirate companion |
| Meeting Pirate Goofy |
| Waiting on the promenade for the fireworks to begin |
| Fireworks over the open sea? How cool is that! |
