Carnival Cruise- Part 3

Our last port was Nassau, Bahamas. We have been here before too. Last time we were here, we just spent all day on this beach, outside of Atlantis, trying to find a cheap way to get into the water slides. So this time, we made our husbands take us on the Water Slides at Atlantis.  It was kind of expensive, but so worth it. We didn't get very many pics because we were in water again, and we didn't have very much time. We had like 3.5 hours to get our money's worth. We went on all the water slides. They were so awesome! My favorite was the ABYSS. You went down this dark water slide and ended in this awesome cave. The cave was so cool, it almost felt like heaven/paradise. We also went on this cool slide that went through the shark exhibit/tank and another tube ride through the shark tank. It was cool. We also went to the private beach there for about 20 minutes and that was the best! I loved the sand and the water. The water was so cool to swim in. Wish we could've stayed longer. The funny thing is on these islands or countries, the people there are so relaxed and are always telling us not to worry, but they are always running slow and behind schedule and the CRUISE BOAT DOES NOT WAIT FOR YOU! We saw a couple miss the boat and it was not pretty! So we had to get back to the boat after a nice day at the water slides. I would love to do those slides again someday, and we were thinking about how much the kids would love them, but so pricey to do as a family. One day we will take our kids on a cruise, when the littlest one is a little older. For now we were enjoying the less stressful time. So good for me and Matt to have this time alone! 

We had dinner again that night and went to another comedy show! Then we were off to our rooms to pack and get ready for the traveling day home. It was such a nice trip and so needed every year. It was hard to leave, knowing we had to go back to cold weather and our own REAL LIVES! I was excited to see my kids though and give them kisses. But I was not excited about having to clean house and make meals for everyone.

It was so good to see the kids after a whole day of traveling. They had decorated our house for Valentines and made us cookies and showed us all their CRAFTS they had done with Aunt EM. Em is a CRAFT QUEEN. She loves them and the kids love doing them with her. They were sad to see her go the next day. Casen asked Em if she would live with us. So cute! Corey was actually in St. George with her soccer team for a tournament, when we got home. So we did not get to see her for a couple more day! We were sad we missed  her games. She went down with Chad and Lynley, Valentines Night, and stayed through the holiday weekend. She had so much fun! She even got a Yellow Card in one of her games. I was actually proud of her aggressiveness, but everyone said it was so unnecessary! So funny! Em did so good babysitting. I had such a good time knowing Em was with my kids and that they were in good hands. She is going to be the best mom someday! She makes me look like a boring mom! She Rocks! Can't wait till next year. Maybe Em can come with us next year. She deserves a break!
