After Marissa spent a torturous 2 and 1/2 weeks in high school - she left on a cruise for an entire week! (She was asked by some close friends to come along to help care for their 3 small children). And pretty much had the time of her life! Here they are just before boarding their boat:
They had a couple of stops on the cruise - and this was one of them. They spent a day hanging out on the beach. It was one of Marissa's favorites.
She also LOVED the food so much. She talked about the food itself for weeks after she got home. haha! She tried escargot, crocodile, stuffed mushrooms, and several other strange foods. She is very much so a huge fan of this lil' gal, ClaireBear. AND - she loved how the whole boat had polka-dot-esque decor.
On another day excursion - they boarded a pirate ship and participated in a live pirate show where the pirates really walked the plank and ker-plopped right into the ocean!
Arghhhhh!
So grateful for the influence this beautiful lady has in Marissa's life. She was a leader in Young Women's for Marissa's first four years as a young women - and many of those were as the president. We all really like their family. :)
Swimming with the dolphins! I love this picture - talk about a once in a lifetime opportunity. But, hopefully - she'll get to go again ... with ME on board with her next time. ;)
Marissa was a sweetie and brought us all home souvenirs. She was so excited to give them to us! :) She's getting so grown up - it's really crazy.
I'm grateful for my family - and I'm grateful for friends that are like family.
