MY BOOT!!!!!

Well not mine, but Nancy's......although that's what we heard for about 30 minutes after this catastrophe happened. Us and everyone that we came in contact with on our walk back to our room. 

Walking to dinner we ran in to our friend Steve. He told us w just missed him doing the worm. Darn that would have been a sight to see. Some how something came up about a splits competition and Nancy just couldn't say no. We did cheer and encourage her on a bit. I'll have you know the mom of 3 has still got it!!!! Bam she was down with no trouble at all. 

Minutes later she was up and we were headed to the dining room for dinner and that's when the melt down started. Some how her boot broke when she got up or down from the splits and she let us know about it and everyone around. I think the alcohol from the show had a little help on the dramaticness. Needless to say we had a little fun with it. 

If you asked her, she wouldn't think it was all that funny. She was so mad / upset / tipsy add this all together and you get a very teary eyed mistress and overly funny spouse. The complete bottom of the boot came off. Thankfully they weren't knew, she'd had them for a while. Still didn't help the situation any though. 

We parked it on a window seat to kinda help her gather her thoughts. It probably wasn't the best place to sit, with a bar right in front of us. She got some crazy looks, she let them all know really quickly what happen and told them not to do the splits because there boot would break. 

While I tried to help her hold it together and calm down a little Sarah was off on a hunt for help. Super Glue or simply something to attach it back together. It was only day 3 and we were going to have a even bigger mess on our hands if she was bootless, after all it was her idea to bring them. 

I love her so much but seriously how can you not laugh at that face. She was really really sad about it, like I said I think the alcohol had some thing to do with it, at least a little. 

While Sarah was on a search for help we went outside to get some fresh air. She still proceeded to tell everyone we passed about what had happened.  

We met Sarah back in the room, shortly after there was a knock at the door. It was SAM, we don't know Sam. All we know is that he came baring Super Glue and saved the night....the trip really. They had a carpenter on board the ship but he was already off duty for the night so Sam was going to try and fix her boot. I think he used almost the whole bottle and you know what it worked!!! Back together good as new, no more tears. 

She had to get a picture with Sam for coming to the rescue, and thanks to the Spouse for helping save the night. The dramatic madness was over and we could go to dinner!!! 

I love these girls, its never a dull moment with them. We always have so much fun together. 

They did both remind me that I'm now the only one that hasn't had a shoe catastrophe while we've been out some were together. I hope to keep it that way to, at least as long as I'm in my good shoes. 

Blake Shelton & Friends Cruise Day 1

Over a year ago we....the spouse, mistress & I booked our room on the Blake Shelton and friends Cruise. The time was finally here, over 27 country music artist were going to be on board the ship preforming through out the week. This was the first ever country music cruise and we were getting to be apart of it. 7 fun fill days cruising through the Caribbean stopping at 4 different ports, there was bound to be some fabulous memories made and stories to be told. I have loads of pictures to share so I'm going to let most of them do the talking over the next few post, recapping our time together. We met so many of the singers and band members, they were so down to earth and wonderful. I hope you enjoy looking through all the pictures, because we had so much fun taking them and making wonderful memories. 

We boarded the ship Sunday afternoon and the party started right away!! Through out the next 7 days over 27 artists were going to be playing around the ship at different times. We were going to have the chance to meet them and have our picture taken with them as well. You can never have to much country music in your life, with our boots on and a bit of twang we were ready to sail. 

With drinks in hand everyone gathered around the main pool deck to wait as both Blake Shelton and Neil McCoy came out to say hello. Blake didn't sing during this appearance but Neil did and boy did he rock it. At one point he kept asking for someone to bring him a drink and so finally Nanc. ordered one and took it down to him. You can see below her taking it to him, then hugging him after. It was pretty comical.

Good times on the pool deck dancing away with my girl!!! Keeping the drinks coming!!!! 

We finally made it down to our room to freshen up and get changed and ready for our first concert of the week. Nanc. is modeling the twin wall bunk bed that we didn't use at all. The three of us slept together in the big bed. It worked out perfect, made for some great bonding. lol 

Oh our way back up to the theater the elevator open and who happen to walk on.....none other than the famous Neil McCoy. We asked if we could get a picture with him and his reply was "do you have a camera". He was a super nice guy, and man can he dance, for 60 something years old the man has got some moves. 

Each night there were two shows, a early show and a late show. This allowed for everyone to be able to see each performer with out it being overly crowded. We had the early show which was at 7pm, our first night was the fabulous RANDY HOUSER he put on a really good show. We had great seats, 2nd row (the first row was reserved) on the right, the first 3 seats. 

Of course the drinks continued during the show with a bottle of Moscato. Nanc was pretty excited about it, who am I kidding we all were lol. 

That glass of wine came in hand, half way through the show the base guitar player through his pick into the crowd and it just so happen to land right in my wine glass. Seriously how often dose that happen, ummm let me just say never. Later that evening we saw him (Justin was his name) in the hall way and told him about what happen and of course I had to get a picture. 

Just hanging out in the Spinniker Lounge. 

The party didn't stop there we made our way around the ship, checking out what all was going on. Catching a few more shows and meeting some band members. 

Below left is the Spouse & I with Drummer Larry from "Her & Kings Counting". Below right is us 3 girls with Steve & Chris (they are brothers) Chris is the percussionist for "Brandon & Leah". We hung out with the two of them through out the whole week and Larry to. Super nice guys and two great groups. 

After the show we were walking through the casino when we ran into Tommy Bahammy (as we called him). He's a older gentleman that we met earlier that afternoon. I don' think we ever got his real name, Tommy Bahamm was written on his shirt and it just kind of stuck. We also called him dad, some times you just don't ask were we come up with things. lol. Anyhow we were talking about trying our hand at a game but we weren't sure which one. That's when he put down $20 on a table for me to play. I still really wasn't sure what I was doing but heck, if he's going to pay for me to play then ok. The game went on forever it seemed like. I ended up walking away with $15.00, not to bad. Seeings I didn't put anything down for it. The Spouse played a few rounds of blackjack, she did good but walked away empty handed. That was my only time in the casino, other than walking through it which we had to do often to get to the other side of the ship. Later that evening we went and heard McKenna Faith sing in the Spinnkier lounge. For a young 17 year old girl, she sure has an amazing voice. She's on her way up to making it big for sure.

And of course more drinks were added in to the mix. Malibu and Pineapple!!! 

We had a great first day, we did so much and saw so many people that first day. We kept telling our selves, "this is just the first day, can you believe we still have 6 more days to go." 

Keep a look out for a bloopers post of pictures from day 1 to come!!!! (I have so much more to share!!!)
