The preschoolers are still missing Mayra while she is away on holiday. We celebrated Miss Page's birthday on Monday and Miss Elizabeth's birthday on Friday. This week we were able to play with balls on Deck 7 because the wonderful Deck Department was able to put the netting up. Thank you, thank you!! For those of you not on the ship, this is incredibly important so we are not losing all our toys over the side of the ship :)
