Cruise (the rest of the story)

I was going to post the rest of the cruise two days at a time, but now I don't have time to do that so this will have to do.
Day 3
First port of call Grand Cayman Island. We spent the day at the Sea Turtle Farm. We had a great time, we toured the farm, got to hold baby sea turtles, ate a nice lunch, went snorkeling, and then stopped for a quick swim. Everyone enjoyed themselves, and it was Dalton, Hunter, Mom, Dad, Haven, Hagan's first time snorkeling.

Day 4
Our next Port of call was Cozumel Mexico; This was my favorite! We were able to interact with dolphins together as a family, wow what a great time we had......

Can't wait until the next year, we are planning on taking another cruise next summer.

Cruise 2014 Days 1 & 2

What a great vacation we had!!!! Only details here.... First Day was a fun day at sea as we made the long trip to the Grand Cayman Islands

Leaving from Tampa.....

Hadley was so exhausted she slept through our departure

Then we played at the pool

 Then it was time for dinner

and look what Haven found at bedtime

Vacation time...

                            Today we are heading to Tampa to get on the Carnival ship "Paradise" heading for a fun filled week in Cozumel Mexico, Grand Cayman, and Cayman Islands. This is Hadley's first time seeing the ocean, let alone cruise around the Caribbean. All the kids are super excited, and Brian and I are pretty excited too. We work hard, and we really are blessed to be able to travel with our family on vacation every year.

I started packing on Thursday night and didn't finish until this morning. Nothing makes me more happy then seeing all 7 suitcases outside lined up in the hall. This trip we have a great adventure planned for the kids to swim with dolphins!!! Can't wait to watch them.

I don't know why I get to live such a great, and adventured filled life with amazing children, and one great and amazing husband! I am truly blessed beyond what I deserve. We are joined on this cruise by my parents and two of my baby brothers. Many memories to make for a lifetime.

You better Shop around!

This summer's dance recital's theme was Motown, and how fun it was to watch these kids dance to some great songs. Haven is so full of sass and drama! They danced to "Momma said you better shop around" and they all played the part.

Great job girls.....
