An Amazing Thanksgiving Out At Sea!

As Thanksgiving each year for the Lum/Straub household is a major event, this year we got a special treat. (No, it wasn't like the past few years of Black Friday by shopping thru the night to find the best deals!) Tricia, Kylie and I were joined by Grandma and Grandpa Straub, along with Cousin Shawn and Jeff Straub and their daughter Zoe to cruise on the newest Royal Caribbean ship Oasis of the Seas! From the rock climbing wall, to the zip line, to the ice skating rank, to the food, the amazing list goes on and on. Here are some moments and pictures these past few days.

"Oasis of The Seas"

The Solarium - one of the most relaxing places on the ship!

Yes, this is "the" children's pool at night!!!

"Can I get any cooler!"

Who said that "the bathrooms on cruise ship are too small for a bath"! Kylie loved it.

The ice skating show was definitely one of Kylie's favorites as she laughed and threw her arms up in the air to celebrate the performance! Kylie and Zoe both caught in a stare.

Yes, a full size merry-go-round on the cruise ship!

Just one another one of Kylie and Zoe's favorite activities!

Walking in for formal night dinner! Kylie and Zoe, best of pals! (Any day now we feel that Kylie will be up and running on her own!)

I just want to take a minute express my thoughts and hope everyone had an enjoyable Thanksgiving with friends and family. In the fast pace world we live in, we often over look all the things we should be thankful for. We worry when we watch the nightly news, our daily professions, the traffic on the road, etc..Take a moment to be thankful of all your surroundings, the friends and family that care so much for each other, but not always expressed as much as we would always like to. Again, hope you had a great Thanksgiving!
