Vacation Part 6, Princess Meet and Greet, water slides and more!


 This day was another full day at sea.  We had a meet and greet planned for Jaylee to meet the princesses!







She loved it!  After the princess gathering we headed to the upper deck to spend some time in the pool.  Jaylee discovered the water slide, and we couldn't keep her off of it!  Poor Marshall was still too small to go on the water slide.

Peace and love......

Vacation Part 5, Mexico and Pirate Night


 We woke up in Cozumel Mexico!


 We found this little park that was lined with all of these statue animals.  The kids insisted on sitting on EVERY single one!



 The coast and the water was beautiful!








 Jaylee got a case of the sillys!!


 My husband the ham bone!




 The ocean was so incredibly blue.



Passed out from partying in Mexico all day!


We got back to the ship and rested.  Then it was time to get the kids dressed up for Pirates of the Caribbean Night.




Stitch was the highlight of the night.  He loved Marshall.  He kept tickling him and chasing him around.  Marshall tickled him back and he fell over.  When we walked away, he chased after us and played peek a boo with the kids from behind a pole.





Marshall's turn to be silly!


This was by far the best towel animal we had!  It took the kids a few minutes to find it.  At first they were all bummed, thinking there wasn't going to be one, and then they saw it!  It was so neat, we left it hanging there the whole next day.

Again, we had a wonderful, perfect day!  The kids were pretty tired from two days of exploring off of the ship in a row.  Then being up past 10 at night for the Pirate deck party and fireworks.  I was so impressed at so well behaved they were.  They travel so well.

More to come tomorrow.....
Peace and love......

Vacation Part 4, Grand Cayman Island


 Since I am a complete turtle FANATIC, this was my favorite thing that we did!!  We got to hold baby sea turtles at a sea turtle farm on the Grand Cayman Island.  They hatch the sea turtles there and then release them when they become a certain age.


 Jaylee was a little nervous holding him, he was a little squirmy.




 They are so cool, see the sea bird hitching a ride on his shell!




These were the bigger ones, they were so heavy, and strong!



Taking a break in the shade, it was pretty hot out that day.



Russ wanted to do a little snorkeling with the turtles, so I took the kids to the pool.


The little stinker tried to splash me!


Marshall drinking fresh coconut milk from a coconut!


Once back on the ship we napped, ate dinner and found some characters to visit.



 Every night we would come back to the room to find a different towel animal waiting for us, along with some chocolates.



Even after a long day Jaylee was all smiles!

Peace and love.......
