Day at Sea (Day 3)

I am usually pretty happy about the days at sea. Just an excuse to lounge around and relax. But I was feeling bad that Jesse wasn't feeling all that great still. He had taken some motion sickness medicine, but it just made him really sleepy. But he was a good sport and hung out with me on the deck. We both read and took a nap. 
 That night after dinner there was a Game Show that we thought we would attend. To get up on stage you had to get the attention of the Cruise Director and then answer either a Scattegories or Trivial Pursuit Question.

Well Jesse got up on stage and was on the Red Team. Thankfully he was starting to feel better at this point.
 On stage he had to play Connect Four. But it was Life Sized! To get their colored balls in a row they had to shoot them like a basketball into the top of the Game Board. It was a close game, but the Red Team lost to the Blue Team.
The blue team then got to pick Monopoly Game Cards that they put into a large Machine that read what amount of Monopoly Money it was worth, and whoever had the most won $200 in Hasbro Games. We watched this 9 year old boy win the old thing.

Throughout the rest of the week, the "Game Show" was replayed onto the TVs in the staterooms. Both the boys liked watching it whenever they happened to find it. Knowing that there was another Game Show at the end of the week, Ryker told me that he wanted to go up on stage next time.

I encourage him to do so, but in my head I'm hoping he doesn't get disappointed.
