So what does a kid do for fun when they live on a ship, I hear you ask?? Well....There is Deck 8 where a collection of bikes and scooters awaits and lots of open space to ride them around and around! The carpenters are also busy rebuilding a climbing frame and slide. Deck 7 has a netted off area where the kids can play with balls and there are swings, tables and chairs and climbing equipment for the youngest crew.This is where the kids do P.E. There is also a basketball hoop on the dock. There is a wonderful libary with a fully stocked colletion of DVD's as well as "Storybags". Friday afternoon is Starbucks treat-frappes or maybe a slushie-just 25 cents with a free refill! Jess also loves to visit the hospital, especially the younger kids-she carries them around and plays games with them. The school day runs from 8am to 3:320pm. Jess has homework every night. |

Deck 8 Fun! |

Sometimes we go off ship for extra fun-here is Jess very intent on catching fish at River No. 2 Beach. |

All ready for ballet class. As well as ballet, Jess does panio and hand bells. She has also started a drawing club on Saturday afternoons. On Sunday evenings Jess goes to Kids Bible Study too. |

| Then there is the pool! The ship is never still, but we just don't notice the continual rocking, that is until you get in the pool! Welcome to the Africa Mercy Wave Pool-the kids can't get enough. Jess goes swimming nearly every day. Tonight she cut her toe on the grate. |

What a beauty! |

When all else fails, there is always hanging with friends! |
