deck party

Because you haven't seen enough crazy pictures of how crazy we really were.. here ya go!

There is Estelle again!

All the boys were dancing around Estelle.. she eventually bowed out and asked them to stop... she saluted them and said " I've had enough boys!" Hilarious!!!

Cob and Margo

B.P. doing the Air guitar.. To the MAX!!

yes.. it might be my goal to have as many weird pics of me as I can on my blog... as seen here.. with Aaron.

When we would come back to the room there would be towels folded into animals... except for this night when it was a lil Chinese man.... he was cute...

then his head rolled off and he died..... it was devastating....

but we were alright.

This is only day 4 people... I have a lot more to go.. and I guarantee at least two more crazy faced pictures of me!!!!

We had to take a tender to the port of Belize and met these crazy old people. I say crazy and old because once they found out we were all single they tried to set us up with their billionaire friend. "He is really old.. but he's really rich too!" They said it would be a smart move for us. Haha!

We shopped around a little bit...

Saw a cart thing like from Nacho Libre.. except this one had a motor.

There was a man on the side of the road chopping up coconuts and putting straws in them.. he also had some rum.. so you could put it in the coconut...side note: there was this lady who kept trying to convince us to put the rum in the coconut cause it was just really good and she did it and it was just a good choice! (she said it all fast and mommy like like that.) And to top it off... she was wearing a fanny pack.

Then we bartered our way onto a carriage tour of Belize.

Our tour guide was a 21 year old boy named Joseph.

I'm the only one that he stuck his tongue out during the pic with....

this was a little market we stopped at. There were little school girls running up and getting candy and sodas. There were bars up and you had to ask the lady for what you wanted... so basically it was like a big immobile ice cream truck.

That was Belize.. That was a rough day for me.. it was really hot and I had a super bad headache. Overall... good time!

First formal night!!

Katie, me and Karly

Shelby, Ethan and Margo

It was also Shelby's Birthday this night!!

We got several people to sing to (and embarrass) Shelbs for her b-day!

These boys were one of those times.. they dressed up in different outfits for dinners.. this was their formal night get-up!

Oh my... theses boys were hilarious! They stayed in character the whole whole time!

Then we went back to our room to change to go dancing!!

The room had been cleaned and they left this swan...

Can you tell that by now we were getting a lil crazy?

No? You really can't!?!?

How about now....

There were these statues of Camels on the way to the dance club named "White Heat"

so duh... we decided to take some pics with them.

Have I introduced Estelle yet? She was this older lady there with her husband. That's her in the blue butt bumping Brandon She took a liking to Shelby and Karly when they were dancing on the deck and became best friends!

This same night she told all of us girls to go dance with her husband Abe.

Here is all of us with our friend Jared

Cozumel

This was our first stop!

Well, after a fun day at sea.. All we did was relax and get used to the rocking boat that day..This is also the day we noticed these signs all over... they scared Margs and I. They were posted all over the ship!! They look like an alien family but with two dads, a son, a teenage daughter and another girl that has something wrong with her arm...then there are the people running towards them from all the corners!! We would point them out to each other and try scream every time!!

We got off the boat in Cozumel Mexico!!!!

This was funny!! Still is...

Yeah, I wore a zebra dress!! Thanks Margo!!

That's me in the little shopping area in the port

We went to a place called Playa Mia..

There were some fun shops in there... look Nacho Libre masks!

We went Kayaking!

And Sail boating!!

and turns out we took a lot of pics of ourselves.. haha..

just how amazing the beach was.. I imagine myself still there sometimes

I met these two on the plane to Miami and turns out Carissa was assigned to our table!!!

That's her BF Brian, they were really nice people!

South Beach--Miami

We arrived in Miami Saturday evening...

Checked into our hotel, ate at a nice lil restaurant on the patio...and then went out on the town!

(No, that cool pic above is not of the hotel we stayed in.. it's just a taste of the architecture in Miami)

Oh please let me introduce you to our friends that went on the cruise with us!

In the picture above l to r is Margo, Karly, me and Shelby.

Those three girls really MADE the trip!!

There was something going on down this side street and there was a firefighter helping direct traffic... and he was a VERY nice firefighter!!

Hey, we were just getting to know the people.

They liked us in Miami and we liked them!!

After talking to some people there we were recommended this amazing place called Mango's

Yes, Clayton.. those are Michael Jackson dancers..(I'll post a video next)

This place was AWESOME!!! It was a dance club and bar. They had dance performances on a bar in the front and a live band in the back! It was so much fun!
