Mickey Boat!


We had such an amazing trip! First stop - DisneyWorld. The kids had such a great time riding all the rides and enjoying the magic of Disney!


Next stop - MICKEY BOAT! We were so excited. . . our first port was Key West. We found a beautiful Butterfly Conservatory to visit. The kids loved it except Miles got WAY TOO hot and Lola became deathly afraid of the "Owl Butterfly."


COZUMEL! We found a beautiful, not crowded beach. The kids loved the sand and waves. They had amazing snorkeling. . . Jacks and I went out with Katie and Trav and saw so many pretty, colorful fish. Jacks was a pro at snorkeling after just a minute of figuring it out. It was so neat to be out there with him! Oh, and the BEST nachos ever.


Grand Cayman! Such a pretty island. We went with Captain Marvin to Sting Ray City. What a neat place. . . so amazing to be swimming around the sting rays. Jacks and Miles LOVED it. . . Lola was afraid and spent half the time in the boat with Captain Marvin. She finally came out for the last few minutes. . . I was proud of her!


Can't do Disney without the characters! Lola talked her daddy into a fancy Sleeping Beauty dress from Disney World. . . she was so happy to dress up in it and get her picture with all the princesses. She was quite the poser! The boys just wanted to get pictures with Captain Jack and were willing to stand in line for it for quite some time!


We had such a great time with everyone on the boat. . . swimming, eating, kids camp till all hours of the night, Penuchle for the adults, shows, FREE SODA, movies, unlimited dessert, Pirate party, BINGO, and tons of laughing!
Thanks grandma and grandpa for an amazing trip!

yay!!! Like 17 posts after months of neglect-your blog thanks you, as do all of us followers. Everything looks so fun-i think next year we should do a family cruise. Perhaps funded by Steve... :)

Love the family cruise and all T, but perhaps next year we should do an ADULTS only cruise!!!

Chelsea said...

Yay! Love all of the pictures. I am with you on a family cruise/adult only cruise next year. You look all tan and summery and I would be so jealous if we weren't leaving in less than a week! I still can't believe we haven't seen you in MONTHS...let's get together as soon as we get back!

It looks like your kids had a great time. The sand and sun looks wonderful! I'm glad you were able to get out of the depressing dull cold for a while. And who doesn't love Disney?

How are you ever going to top that family vacation? I am glad that you guys had such a great time. You know it has been a long day when Miles passes out!

Stacie said...

I am so glad you updated, since the only time I get to see you is...never! That vacation sounds wonderful, I am glad you got to go have fun away from this fog.

Tierra said...

Sounds good on the adults only trip. Apparently dad is going to ask Lorin for the Hawaii condo once a year...lets plan it!

Great pictures and great vacation! Seriously, those butterfly pictures were cool! And where did find such cute spring clothes at this time of year?

Tierra said...

K the picture of Miles digging in the sand-he is like skin and bones! If you get a second will you invite my new email to your blog-tierra.anne@gmail.com.

So this is Trav and i am "blog-stalking," at least that's what Kate calls it when i use her blog to look at other people's blogs. I was disappointed that the picture of Dave and the other bingo dude (Trevor??) didn't make it off the cutting room floor. Good luck with the marathon!
