Matis Reunion - Phase III: Freedom of the Seas

The ship we sailed on was "Freedom of the Seas", which until RC's new ship "Oasis of the Seas" is completed, is the largest cruise ship in the world. Some of the amenities included: Pools and a splash zone, a rock climbing wall, a wave simulator for surfing and boogie boarding, a gym, a game room, an ice-skating rink, etc. We could have never gone ashore at the ports of call and still had plenty to keep us busy!

A highlight of the trip for the kids was Adventure Ocean, the kids program. They had programs and activities for kids going on around the clock and we could drop off the kids and pick them up at our convenience. They (and we) absolutely LOVED it!

On our first full day at sea, Adventure Ocean put on a parade and circus. Isak was a clown and Becca was a butterfly.

Here is cousin, Jayden, marching in the parade.

Isak's age-group wasn't in the parade and circus, but they did circus activities in their room. Isak was a clown. We took these pictures in our stateroom before we washed off their make-up. Isak cracks me up.
