Alright time to finish up the cruise posts and move on to other blogging goodies so this we be the last one :) 
On the fourth day of the cruise we woke up and had breakfast together on the deck which was as usual fun and relaxing. Then we all headed upstairs to play some serious rounds of volleyball. 
It was so much fun, my dad is a pretty wicked volleyball player, and I had fun reliving my freshman Sunrise Mountain volleyball days. We played for hours, 
of course everyone had to talk trash and put on their game faces :) 
Then of 
course there was the institution of team names, can you guess which team Brenn was on??? Yep, the 
seagulls, yeah I know we are lame :) :)
We had a whole bunch of other random people on the ship come up and join our games off and on throughout the morning.
By the time we were done we were all sunburned and I even had a nice little bruise on my arm from playing. 
After we were done with the volleyball we still evidently had not had enough outside time so we headed over to the minature golf course. Golf is fun but none of us are very into it except maybe Dad and Deke so the rest of us played and sort of goofed around. After golfing we all sort of split up and enjoyed a couple hours. 
Deke and I played some giant chess and some ping pong and then headed to get the conference room set up for my dad's birthday present. I had gotten pictures for each of the girls of them and dad and made a DVD starting with the day I came home from the hospital through each child including grandbabies. We had each picked music that made us think of dad or that had a emotional tie for us. We went to dinner and all during dinner there was schools of dolphins tons of them jumping through the water right out the window it was so cool. After dinner we made dad skip dessert then hurried him down to the conference room. We had the room all to ourselves and set up chairs just for us in front of the TV.
When I started the DVD a picture came on with my dad in a rocking chair holding me in a little pink blanket and I was barely a few weeks old. 
"Arms wide open" by Creed was the song I picked and it was so perfect. It didn't even take thirty seconds for his tears to start coming followed by every one of us in the room. It was so perfect, so worth it to see his face. Then we hit up a couple of shows and then headed to the upper deck to have desserts and played the drawing game. I will not go into explaning the game but Dad and girls here are a couple of pictures to remember it by :) :) We partied the night away and the next night got off the ship. It was such an amazing vacation I am so glad that we were able to take it together it was really special for all of us. My dad is such an amazing person, I am so thankful for him and the relationship we have. I love his quirkiness and how much fun he is to be around. Happy 50th dad, WE LOVE YOU!!!!!!
