Alaskan Cruise Day 2 - Orion's First Fancy

A brand new day! The second day of our cruise got off to a mixed start for sure.... Ron had gone down to the casino to play in a poker tournament in the morning, so we got ready kindof slowly and wandered down to the buffet. Well... that didn't go so great. I tried to get Orion involved by having him hold the rolls of napkins and silverware and look at the food with me since I was holding two plates. I actually had brought a sling with me, but somehow didn't think to bring it to the buffet. So there we were in the busy line and Orion decides he doesn't want to move. I try to patiently tell him I am really hungry and would like to get through line so we can eat, but instead he threw himself on the ground and didn't want to get up. So as I am saying, "Please get up Orion," this old lady behind him actually said, "Yeah, move it Orion," in this really rude voice and pushes him with her foot! I was so shocked, but I am horrible at confrontation and didn't say anything to her. Of course later I wished I had. I think I knew I would have gone into a hypoglycemic rage if I started, so I figured I better keep my mouth shut and not make a scene haha.

At about this time, one of the staff noticed what was going on and actually came to hold the plates and go through line with us so I could carry Orion. Not sure if he really wanted to help us or was just trying to move the line along. Or maybe both. Of course then I started having to ask about all the food and if it had gluten or dairy in it and feel like I was still holding up the line. But I gotta give the guy credit. He clued in right away and got my questions answered quickly by the right people and even sent somebody to get us gluten free bread! So it was definitely a mixed experience for our first trip though the breakfast line!

We found a nice spot by the window and that seemed to entertain Orion and calm him down. He was fascinated with being able to look right out at the sea.

They don't waste any time! Tonight was already the optional formal night. I didn't go too crazy, just bought him a shirt with a clip on tie haha. This picture is hysterical as he looks like he is adjusting his tie. We called it his fancy. Ron almost never wears a tie but was putting one on as well, and we were telling him he had a fancy just like Daddy (mainly so he would leave it on at least long enough to get our picture taken).
Oh man, the terminal cuteness!
And um, that's it for the second day. Wow, I really do suck. Tomorrow with an excursion will be better for sure. But I swear we didn't just hang out in our room all day! I took Orion in the pool and on the big waterslide, but Ron stayed in the room, so we have no pictures of that. :( It was a blast though!
