 |
| Family vacation time!! The kids still think staying in a hotel is pretty exciting. |
 |
| Morning of the Total Solar Eclipse. Forecast: Cloudy all along the path. |
 |
| But luckily the clouds cleared up enough just in time. Everyone get ready! |
 |
| Jayden, you can open your eyes. |
 |
| Got bored waiting. Let's fill up Caleb's shirt with rocks. |
 |
| Grumpy, those glasses won't protect you! |
 |
| Still waiting...getting closer. |
 |
| Caleb, stop staring at the sun! |
 |
| This solar eclipse is AMAZING!!!! |
 |
| We got to visit family in Dallas. |
 |
| Apparently Buccee's is famous. We came, we saw...it was ginormous! |
 |
| Finally meeting up with the cousins! Let the real vacation begin! |
 |
| Lunch at Sam's Club before getting on the boat. |
 |
| There's our boat. |
 |
| Good, there are plenty of life boats. |
 |
| Ready to set sail! |
 |
| This is awesome! |
 |
| We get to ride on this boat for 5 days!?! |
 |
| Welcome to your Disney Cruise. |
 |
| Let's get exploring! |
 |
| The only dolphin we saw was before we left port. |
 |
| Goofy would be proud of this crew. |
 |
| Doc's crew and Bashful's crew. Thanks Amanda for our awesome family cruise shirts! |
 |
| The kids loved the kids clubs. |
 |
| The grown ups loved the kids clubs too! |
 |
| Mom really loves this map table. |
 |
| Hey dude. You don't need those eyes do you? I want to buy some popcorn. |
 |
| Being silly with Grammy. |
 |
| Little pigs, little pigs, let us come in. |
 |
| There was tons of great music on the ship to listen to. |
 |
| It was cool to go look at some of the inner workings of the ship too. |
 |
| 2000's Music Trivia Champion. (ok, he came in a really close 3rd place or so. But we got this picture anyway.) |
 |
| Yes!! All the ice cream! |
 |
| Breakfast on a windy morning. |
 |
| Playing telephone is a fun idea when you have such a big table. |
 |
| Dinner is more fun with cousins. |
 |
| Lovin' it. |
 |
| Oh no! One of Mommy's hands shrunk! |
 |
| Carter was brave and tried the escargot. He didn't love it. |
 |
| We really liked the Animators Palate dining room. |
 |
| Here comes the color! |
 |
| Mickey came to say hi! |
 |
| The kids loved it! |
 |
| Our server was also a magician! |
 |
| What?! How did he do that! |
 |
| This was the Rapunzel dining room. We loved the floating lanterns. |
 |
| Flynn Rider came by. Probably trying to swipe our dessert. |
 |
| Happy birthday Craig!! |
 |
| The shows were a lot of fun! |
 |
| But they were too late for Caleb. Time for bed. |
 |
| Time to get off the boat for a bit. |
 |
| Our clan trying to get their landlubber legs back. |
 |
| Welcome to Cozumel, Mexico! |
 |
| Caleb was much happier once he wrangled up a ride from Grumpy. |
 |
| Weigh anchor! |
 |
| Had to take a few minutes to catch up on our social media. |
 |
| This one's playing a game! |
 |
| This boy had figured out how to look cute to get what he wants. |
 |
| Day 2 in Mexico. Progresso!! |
 |
| We got to take a shuttle to the beach. |
 |
| Amanda was the adventurous grownup who took the big kids out into the deep water. |
 |
| These kiddos stayed on the shore. |
 |
| Sand man! |
 |
| No beach trip is complete without burying someone. |
 |
| Caleb loves running away from the waves. |
 |
| Mama and daughter. |
 |
| Grammy & Grumpy had a good time relaxing and watching the kids run around. |
 |
| Mom, I got sand on my shovel. |
 |
| Jayden's turn. |
 |
| Carter didn't realize this guy wanted the whole bench to himself. Sorry sir! |
 |
| It's pirate day! Trying different ways to wear our bandanas. |
 |
| The cool pirates. |
 |
| One-eyed Jill, Squinty-eyed Joe, Don't-mess-with-me Jane, and Quiet Pete |
 |
| Ready to stir up some trouble. |
 |
| Arrgg! |
 |
| The fireworks were awesome! |
 |
| Ooh! Ahh! |
 |
| Caleb wanted to watch his cousin meet Goofy. But at a safe distance. |
 |
| He was brave enough to go meet Belle though. |
 |
| Ariel! |
 |
| And Tiana! |
 |
| Come on Caleb. Just sit there for 30 seconds! |
 |
| Cheese! |
 |
| Grown-ups too! |
 |
| Best buds. |
 |
| Time to say goodbye to our ship...and Mickey. No, don't try to turn the ship around! |
 |
| Waiting for our turn to get off the boat. |
 |
| The drive home was long. But we got to stop at this cool park! |
 |
| Wouldn't it be more fun to travel home by tiger? |
 |
| Come on, Mom. Let me keep him! |
 |
| Practicing his racing skills. |
 |
| Practicing her dating skills. |
 |
| Don't worry Piggy. I've got your back. |
 |
| Don't blow on my friends! |
 |
| The kids thought they would help Grumpy order dinner. |
 |
| Never too old for the mall merry-go-round. |
 |
| Wiped out from an epic family trip. |
