Mom and Dad's Cruise Vacation

Mom is going to tell us all about her Caribbean Cruise with Daddy!


This is our ship.... Royal Caribbean "Freedom of the Seas."
We sailed out of Orlando, Florida.

This is the Disney cruise ship...that we want to take the kids on some day!


The day we sailed out was beautiful...already I was relaxed!

There was so much to do on this ship from Golfing too

Rock wall climbing....


Surfing......and tons of shows!!!


Everyday they had Amazing ice sculptures and carved watermelons.

There was even a mall on the cruise.....boutiques, cosmetics, jewelry, kids, liquor , Logo stores and more.... it was really neat.


Our first day we ported in Labadee, Haiti, which is a private part on Haiti's island that the Royal Caribbeans owns. So all the bars, shops and activities are run by Royal Caribbean. It was our favorite island....BEAUTIFUL....powdery white sand!!!!

Labadee, Haiti


As we waited to get off and start some fun... here in Haiti we were going to be doing the Dragon's Breath flight line and Parasailing.

Our ship docked!

Relaxing on the private beach as we waited to go zip-lineing

So relaxing as we relaxed in the hammock.

So green and beautiful!

Lovin' the sun!!!!

Ready to go.....

This is the world's longest and highest zip-line ....so excited we got to do it!

crosses right over the water...from one side of the island to the other

Chad was ready to go...

and so was I

Next off to our next adventure...Parasailing

up we go

down we come.... that was so relaxing and a beautiful view!!!

Now time to relax on Haiti's beautiful beach. Chad is relaxing the chair with his beer I am out on the float in the ocean!

There I am!!! I could have fallen alseep!!!

Guess where our next stop was....hahah Ocho Rios, Jamaica. I made Chad try this hat on for a picture I was laughing my ass off!!!

In front of some shops..

Stopped at Margaritaville for a drink and Chad couldn't resist....

ooohhh la la!!!!!

The margaritas were toooo smooth!!!

Jamaica

Next stopped at another bar over looking the ocean... and had some rum punch...good stuff!!!


More Jamaican beach


sad day....we were hoping to visit Grand Cayman but the winds were really bad that day so we werent able to pull into port!!! So we hung out on the boat all day. I believe we napped almost all day.

Today we are in Cozumel, Mexico. Where we are going to be swimming with the dolphins. If you know me I am terrified of this. Chad really wanted to do this so I was going to try it and try not to panic!

we were swimming out there and about a dozen dolphins as well



Yaahhh I did it and I am still alive!! I actually enjoyed it too!


Afterwards we decided to hit some shops and bars.

Our housekeeper was very cool he made us neat towel creatures everyday!

Our last day out in the sea... I decided to go rock wall climbing... it was also of fun but harder than it looks!

Chad wanted to do it so bad as well but his shoulder wasnt feeling the greatest....MRI scheduled for it when we get back.
We had a wonderful time away, much needed but we did miss the kids dearly!!! I cant thank my wonderful husband enough for this surprise vacation. I love him very much and thank you baby!!

Fun Times!

Ms. Lexie likes trying everyones shoes on!!


Loganberry is getting so big...she is enjoying sitting up in her Bumbo seat and watching the kids be silly!


Of course Ms. Alyssa had try it out....and thought it was a cool seat!


I likes taking care of Lexie... in the morning I like to lay next to her as she finishes her bottle. I got her a pillow and shared my special spiderman blanket with her. She always laughs at my funny/silly faces!



In circle time, mom brought out music rattles......Lexie loved them!!!! She was shaking them so hard!

We also pretended to be movie star or rock stars!

Logan is a future movie star!... this is her serious face!

Ava, Alyssa and I are cool!

Addyson and Abigail are rock stars, for sure they like to dance!

In the morning Logan like to lay on her mat and kick the toys! They make noises when she kicks them....


We are having a panacake breakfast outside this morning.. since it was so beautiful!

Landen at the Dentist

Well today was a big day for me...yes already I have major dental bills coming mom and dads way!! So I had to be put under for the dental work... I made out ok though... I think mom had a harder time watching that then I did.
No more hard candies for me, mom says!!!!

Just hanging out

As you can tell Alyssa is still in her PJs...that is because it is still very early in the morning! She loves riding her scooter in the morning!

Daddy and I love going in the Spa early in the morning when it is still a little chilly out...this is early like when the sun is just coming out!

Love you!

Alyssa Loves me!

And I love her!

Centers

We like doing centers now. For about two hours in the morning we do circletime and then centers. Everyone gets a center for 15 minutes...then 5minutes to clean up. Then we switch..here are some of the centers:


Alyssa is doing puzzles in her center...she likes to dump them all out and then put them together....it cant be done the simple way!!!

Logan is chilling as we work hard!

Abigail is doing puzzles

Addyson is at the computer center!

Ava is working on matching at the wall center!

I am Stretching rubber bands, making my fingers strong

Here we all are...All done!!!!!
