Bosco's Birthday Bash! How convenient that we were in a Port with a Wave Lagoon Pool just minutes away on Bosco's actual birth date, November 3rd.

Super hero party hats were hard to keep on in the waves, especially since these came with the chin straps detached! The party started around 11am and went until pool closing, at 6 pm. Above is the group there for last part of the day. (L to R, back to front) - our life guard, Jeff & Becky, Robert, Gary, Sherrie, MaryAnn, Maui Jim, Scott, Julie, Donna & Butch, Bosco, Me, Frazer and Steph. Sadly, I didn't take any photos in the morning, too busy riding the waves! We also had a rain delay in the early afternoon, where we went to The Precinct Bar & Restaurant, right across from the Pool, to wait out the storm. All in all, we had about 40 friends join in the festivities.

The Ship sail away was at 7:30 pm, so we had dinner on board, where the CREW serenaded Bosco at Dinner with a special cheese burger and song and his cabin door got decorated with words of affirmation from fellow residents.

AUSTRALIA marks our 6th Continent of this trip around the World! I visited Australia & New Zealand for the first time back in 2016, but we didn't make it to Darwin then - so I was excited to see this time.

A lot of people went to dinner in costume, but the full party started after at 8:30 pm with fun and games first, then the dance floor opened outside. I hand sewed our Pebbles & BamBam costumes.

We love a good party! Halloween did not disappoint! The festivities started with a Spooky Lunch Buffet and a gorgeous sunset!
