We want to thank all of you out there who have been so sweet to volunteer to go with us. You wouldn't believe all the offers to be:
a nanny
a babysitter
a private tutor
a luggage carrier (that one really tempted us!)
a personal photographer
a tour guide
Also, to those of you who wanted to hide away in a suitcase, I'm afraid there is a 50 lb. limit so most of you don't qualify!
God has planned this whole trip out in such a cool way. Sully and Tucker are studying "Much Ado About Nothing" in Language Arts and it takes place in Messina, Sicily, Italy.....where we are going on the last leg of the cruise! We watched the movie today- the one with Emma Thompson. It had been 15 years since I had seen it and obviously I'd forgotten the bath scene (all the returning soldiers bathe in the moat and all the women bathe in an indoor pool). Lots of skin which means lots of "HIDE YOUR EYES!!!!!!!!!" Pre-viewing by parents is strongly advised before showing this one to your kids so you know where to fast forward. We also have a great book called Shakespeare Can Be Fun: Much Ado About Nothing for Kids by Lois Burdett. There are several other books in the series.
Soooooo exciting!!!!
