Antarctica: We allowed the kids very few toys on the trip...

So Jonah created his own, naturally. Here is his "Elephant Skunk-Monkey!"

There were other fun "toys" that Jonah created as well. I cannot remember them all, but I'll list a few here for your amusement.

A blue and white gingham ribbon was his "powers".

His backpack, on the floor, face down with the straps undone was his forklift. He would get on top of it and "operate" it by moving the straps up and down.

The knives and forks at dinner were cranes.

The lobster tail was his friend (although we made him leave this friend in the dining room).

Awesome! I didn't actually get to see the elusive elephant-skunk-monkey on the cruise. I did get towed away by a tow truck a few times though...

My favorite was definitely the multi-purpose ribbon. If only all children were as easy to shop for as Jonah... ;)

Yes, the ribbon! That ribbon has been steam, smoke, fire, water, a leash, Spiderman's web and a fishing pole- and that was just in the last 24 hours...
