The ship was in port today at Coco Cay, Bahamas, a private island owned by Royal Caribbean.  So after breakfast, the boys boarded the ferry with the rest of the family and headed over to the island.  Papa had reserved two private cabanas for everyone, so the boys (and maybe dad more so) were excited to park themselves there!  Of course, they were even more excited to hit the beautiful blue waters and do some swimming, floating, and splashing.  Colton even made a futile attempt at snorkeling, but completely panicked when the vest inflated, so that was about it for that!  Around nap time, they took the boat back to the big boat (and fell asleep on the boat thus cancelling their opportunity to take a real nap), rested up for a bit, and then got dressed for the first formal dinner night.  After dinner, both boys spent some time in their respective kids clubs and loved it...although Colton was scooped up a bit early when mom, Nene, Papa, and Gigi (dad was still in the casino with Ry and C) spotted going on a "bear hunt" with the rest of his friends.  Oh well, he joined the adults for some fun in the champagne bar and then headed up to get his brother.
