Cricut Cruise - Day 3 Grand Turk Island

Happy Wednesday Everyone!
I am loving going through all of these pictures from the Cricut Cruise.  Have I mentioned how much fun Cricut was having??  You could find him laying out on the deck, parasailing with the wind, and doing everything that we were doing!  He/she is soooo cute!!  

Karlee and I had so much fun.  If it wasn't for my family waiting at home and missing them so much, I wouldn't have wanted to leave!!  The Lido Deck where we ate lunch was FAB!

Every night when we came into our rooms after dinner, the room steward had made us an awesome animal towel!  They were so awesome!!

The first two days of the cruise our cabin was FREEZING!!!  This is how I found Karlee after I was already up and ready for the day!!  She had slept completely covered!!

This was the beautiful scene that we saw when we woke up in the morning.

This was our ship.  The Holland America Eurodam.

Getting ready for our snorkeling experience in the ocean.  

It was very scary at first getting off the boat and into the open sea.  I kind of had a little panic attack but got over it fairly quickly.  I have a fear of large bodies of water.  It scares me not to know what is under me.  It was very cool, though.  We went to two different locations.  In the first area we saw lots of colorful fish and a large sea turtle.  Soooooo cool!!  On the second location we swam over 2 sharks!!!!  We saw people swimming away pretty fast but we felt safe as our instructors were over by the sharks feeding them fish.  They were only nursing sharks but still sharks!!  After we were finished with the sharks, Karlee and I started slowly swimming by ourselves back to the boat.  Karlee started pointing to something in the water but I didn't see it.  We surfaced and came upon other snorkelers who asked if we saw the big grey fish.  We looked again and saw it swimming near us and kind of around us.  When we surfaced again we were told that it was a barracuda!!  I didn't need to hear anything else....  I swam like a warrior back to the boat leaving everyone behind me.  If you are not familiar with that type of fish, google it.  LOL!  They are pretty vicious!  

The wonderful thing about some of the beaches at this port was that you could find your own HUGE shells!  Karlee and I both found one on a less busy beach.  

I hope you are all enjoying my pictures.  I will have more of my regular stuff on my blog really soon.  I am going to try to still do My Pink Stamper Live Weekly tomorrow morning between 10 and 10:30 am CST!  So stay tuned!!!
Big hugs to you all!!  I am so thankful that you come to visit me often!!
