Tilley Family News: Our Cruise

I am getting spring fever soooo bad! This time last year Eldon and I were staying in a beautiful, sunny resort in Las Vegas. I'm sooo trying to wish myself back there. Unfortunately, he doesn't have a conference to attend this year. Besides, we can't go anywhere this Spring break since we are building the new house and trying to get this house ready to sell :(

Idaho winters get kind of long. To cheer myself up I figured I'd post some pic's of our cruise to the Caribbean this past November.

Leaving Miami with my hunny.

In front of our ship, The Freedom of the Seas, in Labadee, Haiti.

Dancing with "Pepe" the dolphin in Jamaica. We had a blast with Jeff and Penny! So glad we got to hang out with them.

I think Pepe had a crush on Eldon. So jealous.

Eldon and I parasailing over Grand Cayman. Can you tell he's the one on the right? Lol. He's a full foot taller than me. Parasailing was very peaceful. The water's so clear at Grand Cayman, you can see the coral reef(s) even from the air. The best part was when the boat driver dipped us in the ocean then brought us back up. I think Eldon was a little nervous about being shark bate. "Shark-bate ooh-ha-ha" (Finding Nemo).

Landing back on the boat after parasailing. All fingers and toes accounted for.

Eldon took this pic of the Mayan temple in Tullum. We got an L.D.S. tour guide to take us through the ruins. It was amazing to see the ruins having read a first-hand account of the people (The Book of Mormon). It was pretty cool. It makes it so real, like I can see the people and stories come to life though they lived so long ago.

Getting ready to climb the rock wall. Don't we look awesome in our gear!

Surf's up! Riding the FlowRider on the ship. That ship was awesome.

Eldon knee boarding on the FlowRider.

My turn. It kinda looks like that guy is grabbing me--but he's not, Eldon. I swear he's not. :)

This was my favorite show! It was so awesome. The scenery was amazing--the toy shelf in this background was 3-D and the dolls jumped off the shelves and started dancing. They put the fairytale stories to modern-day music. Cinderella sang "Rich Girl", Red Ridinghood sang, "I Need A Hero", etc. It was the best.

Dave and Terra in Studio B (on ship) waiting for the ice skating show to start.

The boys in the karaoke booth singing "Pour Some Sugar on Me." LOL! The girls sang "Don't Cha". If you didn't know us better you'de think we were drunk. Maybe it would have been less painful to watch the playback if I was!

Jill is a crazy girl! So fun!

Rob and Annette. The best neighbors EVER!

The Merrill's at dinner. So glad they invited us on this cruise. It was the best. Can't wait to go on a great vacation with our kids and family--come on you guys...!
