February 2, 2026- Monday-cruise day

 We all slept in this morning then went to exercise at the gym and the the track. I took Alden and Calvin with me to the fitness center where I got to show them how to use the weights.

After our workouts we headed to breakfast at the buffet. Everyone got well filled up then went and played mini-golf as a family. The boys got in line to go on a big slide called the abyss. I took Roslyn and Maebryn to our room where I showered and then got their hair done. We met up the boys who were ready to go hot tubbing. So we got our swimsuits on, it was cold outside so some of us stayed in the hot tub the whole time while others went in and out of the pool and some of the boys went down one of the water slides.

After getting dressed we tried out one of the sandwich shops that you can eat at for free. The kids all had a roast beef sandwich and then we all decided we were ready for a little nap. After our nap we lined up to go ice skating. It was fun for me to take the whole family ice skating. I worked with each of them one on one for just a bit with their ice skating. We then went and tried out rock climbing. It has been neat to do these things that usually cost  quite a bit to do especially to take so many. Michael made it all the way to the top, I made it close and Alden and Calvin did decent. Evan and Benson just got a bit up but still they tried it.

Roslyn and Maebryn got to enjoy the merry-go-round and then we got ready for the formal dinner at night. Dinner was great and everyone was dressed very nice for it. After dinner we went to a show called something like walking the tight line. It had acrobats, divers, and other stunt people. We were all ready for bed after that. It was full wonderful day cruising.
