Am writing this again! Lost the one before.
The last day O woke me up at 5:30, knowing I wanted to get the boat ready for the equator party.
I decorated the boat with streamers and balloons and made fresh cinnamon swirl cupcakes.
I then woke O up, we dressed and stormed into the kids room shouting "Wake up Pollywogs!!". Ben was kind of expecting it, Sam was shellshocked.
Wee then marched them to the main saloon, dressed them in my skirts, beads, masks, lipstick and hats. They had to jump on one foot, sing songs, twirl around and the grand finale was the egg/spoon walk. Ben had no prob with the egg thing Sam dropped it before taking one full step. But he was a trooper.
Ben was actually miserable throughout the entire celebration. He was upset that he had to dress like a girl. I started to get mad at him and was threatened to make him go to his room when O told me to just ignore it...wise words. Sam had a blast, not knowing or understanding what the hell was going on.
They both passed and are now officially Shellbacks!!!!!!
I have ome pictures which I will post and even Ben in all his misery was funny. I could not stop laughing.
We spotted land around noon and arrived around 5:00..so close yet, so far!!!
