Me, Dawson and Dave's mom, Louisa, were waiting at the pier to watch the ship pull in. Dawson fell asleep in his stroller while we were waiting which made the morning a lot easier. I think we were at the pier for just under 2 hours when we saw the ship coming. That was such an exciting moment!
Here they come!
We were standing in the perfect spot. (We found a little corner away from the HUGE crowd that seemed to have a better view than where everybody else was.) The ship pulled in right in front of us. And Dave, his dad, his brother-in-law and nephew (the 3 of them joined the ship in WA for the Tiger Cruise) were standing on the flight deck almost right in front us... Louisa was waving a welcome home sign and her jacket through the gate so they were able to find us and then we found them...
Can you see them?
You probably can't in that picture...let me zoom in a little more...
Me and Louisa were SO happy to see them!!! Dawson was still napping...
It took a little while before they could start letting people off the ship, but luckily time seemed to be going by pretty quickly. We were excited to see people starting to come off...
Dawson finally woke up, but he wanted to lay down on me for a few more minutes.
And then finally we saw Dada!
Dawson wouldn't let Dave hold him at first...
But he wouldn't take his eyes off him and he had the sweetest smile on his face. I could tell he was happy to see his daddy.
After a few minutes I put Dawson down and he started running around and Dave was chasing after him. After a couple minutes of that he finally let Dave hold him.
By the time we had walked to the truck about 15-20 minutes later, Dawson was saying "mama dada!" We could tell that he was excited that both of us were there now.
It didn't take long for Dawson to warm up to Dave at all. He has been home for a couple of days now and it's as if he was never gone.
