We went on a Cruise last week!
My parents took our whole family for our Christmas present!
It was Baylee and Owen's first time on an airplane!
We flew to Tampa, Florida. It was a midnight flight and we had a 3 hour layover in Atlanta.
Baylee and Owen mostly slept the whole way, so that was good. Owen only cried once and Mark got him settled down pretty quick.
On our way to Florida, Mark noticed that my bag with most of my clothes was missing!
We called his dad and he went over to our house to see if he could bring it to us before we left, but he couldn't find it anywhere!
My sister and sister-in-law saved me by letting me borrow some clothes!
So, a big thanks to them! I wouldn't have made it without your help!
I had my swimming suits, shoes, formal dress, a pair of pants, and pjs.
That was about it though!
There really wasn't anywhere to buy anything either!
Mark did buy me one new shirt from the gift shop on the ship, but anywhere else I looked I didn't really see any clothes I liked.
When we got home we found my suitcase hiding behind the curtain in our room. I had brought some boxes in from the garage with some of the kids summer clothes in them while we were packing. They were in front of the curtain too.
That's why Mark's dad couldn't find it!
I was really grateful he tried for me though!
In the end Mark and I decided that it was actually a good thing we didn't have my bag!
We had our arms full enough in the airport with the bags we had, our kids bags, and the kids!
Mark keeps telling me this should be a lesson to me that I CAN PACK LIGHTER when we travel.
I don't agree though :)
It would have been nice to have some more clothes!
Anyway, after a long night of flying we were ready to get on the ship and get some food and settle into our rooms!
Baylee made this shirt at camp carnival!
Mark and Owen on formal night!
My handsome boys!
All of us on formal night!
Baylee wanted to order the Alligator!
She's making her alligator face :)
(she didn't like how it tasted though!)
Owen loved the Macaroni and Cheese!
He had it every night when we ate in the dinning room!
(he was so tired this night he was practically falling asleep in it!)
Our first port was Grand Cayman and we had to ride the boats in to the shore!
We had planned on going to the beach, but it was a little rainy that day.
We went to the turtle farm instead and it was SO FUN!
The turtles were so huge!
It was really cool to see them!
Mark, Baylee, Me, Owen, Grandpa, Grandma!
Owen loved the turtles!
Baylee was not as excited, but she still liked them!
You could pick the smaller ones up!
Pretty cool!
Steph, Me, Karla, Owen!
Mark and the turtle!
Baylee wasn't so sure about touching the turtles!
You can see she's thinking about it!
She has her finger ready!
She was brave and did it!
She told me later, "Mom, I am not touching any more turtles today!"
Then like two second later we walked by a worker holding a turtle and she touched it.
Right across the street from the turtle farm was a dolphin place!
There were people who were swimming with them.
It's free to just watch, so we just watched them!
The kids found this little playground! T
hey were more interested in it than the dolphins!
Pretty amazing! They were really fun to see!
When we went to Cozumel we rented a Taxi for 4 hours.
When we were on our way to the beach Mark was sitting in the front by the driver.
Baylee, Owen, and I were in the very back of the van. Baylee wanted to know what Mark was doing, so
I told her he was sitting up front, so he could speak Spanish with the driver.
Baylee started telling me how she speaks Spanish too.
She was counting in Spanish and telling me the few things she's learned from Dora.
I asked her how you say green in Spanish and she goes, "Greeno!"
Ha ha!
We went to Paradise beach and went swimming.
Everyone else went to a different beach and went snorkeling!
Paradise beach was beautiful! I loved it!
There was a restaurant there, so we got some food cause the kids were getting hungry.
Our yummy "Mexican" food!
It was really good!

(Owen was asleep!)
On our way back to the ship Baylee fell asleep too!
When we were almost back on the ship she woke up for a minute and said,
"Do you ever think about all of the things that are in your tummy like your stomach and your lunch?"
Mark and I started laughing then she told us she was just sleep talking!
Every night we had a new towel animal on our bed!
Owen tore them apart pretty quick!
Baylee insisted that the towels should be hung up in the bathroom.
Not folded into animals!
They had a towel folding class on the last day we were on the boat!
Baylee and I folding our towels!
We had along wait in the airport on our way home.
Mark was not feeling very well, so he was trying to get some rest.
Owen crawled right over him and snuggled by him!
So sweet!
The Tampa airport is awesome because they have these little playgrounds!
It kept the kids busy!
