I had a somewhat busy day. I got off ship this morning to help with Island Activities and to see who I could find that I knew on the Zuiderdam since we were at Half Moon Cay together today! Turns out that a few people were there, not just Kayleigh (who actually couldn’t get off today). One of the HAL Cats singers from this summer on the Nieuw A, and Tristan, who was on the Eurodam with me last New Years. I talked to the HAL Cats singer for a few minutes while walking down the beach, and Tristan and I caught up as both our groups waited for kids to show up, and we combined the kids and made sandcastles and stuff together.
I had to leave before our activities finished so I could get back to the ship, shower and get to work on time. It was a bit crazy though, because a tender had just left as I came up, we had to wait about 10 minutes for another one, then another 15 minutes for people to get on (I think they wanted the tender to fill up before sending it back, but that was impossible, and finally they resigned themselves to the fact that no one else was getting on aside from the 20 of us that were already waiting. And of course, the tender ride itself took 15 minutes. I thought I had left with plenty of time to at least take a somewhat decent shower and get there on time, but no luck with that. I had just enough time to rinse off, throw on clothes and run upstairs.
The afternoon was quiet for the first half, I watched Pocahontas and read some, then started Lilo and Stich. It was 2:30 before any of the kids showed up, and then they all came at once. So, it was a busy second half of the afternoon with some kids being perfectly fine just playing video games, and a few others with no idea what to do, and rejecting all the suggestions I had for them. That was an interesting combination. It was just a long afternoon. I actually had a parent comment on how tired I looked, especially in comparison to the beginning of the week when I was an elf and running around happily taking pictures with people.
Pajama night went fine, we had quite a few kids, but they were all rather calm and contentedly watched Wreck-it Ralph. I helped Christine number and order the first two days programs for the kids that embark tomorrow while the other three watched the movie and refilled drinks for the kids.
