Back in Miami after the cruise, the sisters head out for a day of shopping in a PT Cruiser.



Waterslide sisters! We partook of the waterslide, pools and hot tubs on the ship on the last day of the voyage - it was the only day with a lot of sun...clearly, I needed some.


After we ended our tubing adventure, we ended up in this too-beautiful-for-words Jamaican park, which is the only word I can think of to describe it. When we got out of the river, we were greeted by a dredlock weilding Rastafarian (spelling??) with a guitar who sang to us as we marched through this park area. It seemed to be cut out of the rain forest and cultivated. There was a beautiful pond, and a little place to shop, shower and eat. I think it was called Chukka Cove.



Me, Lisa, Julie and Jessica, just before we jump in the "refreshing" water of the White River.....refreshing my butt, it was down-right cold!



From left, Jessica, Lisa, Julie (the other Chicago sister), and me. The guides had a heck of a time trying to keep all four of us together. Whenever we got separated, we'd shout, "SISTERS!" and the giudes would rescue us and reunite us.....we tipped them well at the end!


Me and Jessica (from Chicago) enjoy an orange one of the guides picked off a tree.



Me and Lisa, tubing down the White River in Jamaica. It was one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen because its in the middle of the rain forest and there is a canopy above your head as you float down a lazy river. There were a few small rapids, but nothing like what we're used to in Colorado!

Lido Deck Dance Party! Thats me in the jean jacket and Lisa in the white behind me - it was a little cool at night on the ship but we had too much fun to really notice!



The MS Carnival Triumph, definitely a "funship"



Lisa and I had the honor of going on a Caribbean cruise from January 7th to the 14th. This is our wonderful dinner table with new friends from Australia, Chicago, and Burmuda. There were two sisters from Chicago that Lisa and I hung around with a lot. We had a blast! We wenr horseback riding on Cozumel, took a tour of beautiful Grand Cayman, and tubed down the White River in Jamaica.

Nice candid from our family portrait day at Mount Falcon on Dec 26th.


The application of the facial cleanser



At Christmas the cousins gave the annual Christmas show. We recruited Uncle Chris to play one of the lovely ladies that demonstrated all the cosmetics Lisa Ann Bobby Jo Jackson had to show us on my talk show, "Its Not What You Think." The girls used their hands to apply the makeup for the guys, so it was hilarious.
