We went a cruise last month in the Western Caribbean on Carnival! It was SO wonderful to be together as a family, separated from the rest of the world and all of it's distractions! Here is a total picture overload!
Sissy LOVED coming back to the room every night after dinner, and seeing the towel animals!!
And Jaden loved sleeping in his very own bunk bed!!
Well, that was the first day... didn't take many pictures, cuz it was all new and exciting. That night the kids went to bed early, and Cam and I were just cuddling up to watch some LOST and that's when the craziness started... turns out, poor Jadey-bug gets sea sick :( he threw up everything he had eaten
the next morning was better, we woke up, feeling like maybe it was a fluke... maybe he just ate too much...
we enjoyed some yummy breakfast, sissy eating her daily banana
Jaden and Daddy... love these boys.
Soaking up some rays!
SO cool to be on a BIG boat!!!
hanging out on the ship
Jade started getting sick again that day, so we went down to the medical center, and they hooked us up with some meds, that made him feel MUCH better... so we went up top, and danced to the live music.... here's jade showin off his awesome moves...
Sis and Jade dancing together.
our crazy little family...
me and the love of my life.
wooohooooooo!!!
trying to pick up the sting ray towel animal... she didn't quite understand why every time she tried to pick them up and kiss them that they would just fall apart.
We brought presents for the kids to open every couple hours, to keep them entertained, and just have another fun thing to do. they both LOVED it, and thought it was so fun to open their presents and see a new surprise every time.
Jade opening his sunglasses
Kennedy just opened hers and is TOTALLY thrilled
work it girl!!
breakfast the next morning... just minutes after this we had another sea sick episode :( all over the patio... oops. poor boy.... oh and I forgot to mention, Jade wouldn't eat a thing after that first day, we had to force him just to drink. he seriously felt so yucky.
i do love this pic of her though.
just got off the ship, and headed to MEXICO!!
on the beeeeeeeach!!
check out that sand! I love it.
This beach was called "Paradise Beach", and it really did feel like paradise. They had fun bouncy things in the water (which we didn't do) but the beach was perfect, beautiful and perfect.
running in the warm sand.
playing in the water with our babes
It was a SUPER sunny bright day, perfect opportunity to wear their awesome shades.
For some reason Jade INSISTS on wearing the glasses high up on the back of his head instead of on his ears... so he looks a little silly/awesome.
lol. total stud.
cheeeeeeese! :) she's so pretty.
it was seriously SO beautiful!
our ship, the one on the left, the "Ecstasy"
we ran back onto the ship and changed out of our wet swim suits, so we could enjoy Mexico... well the port of Cozumel.
We were seriously intruding on Kennedy's nap time, and she was literally falling asleep as she was walking. it was kinda cute.
scary guy!!
another crazy family picture
heavenly.
Cam was trying so hard to keep her awake on our way back to the boat. she was dying laughing, she just adores her Daddy, it was so sweet.
silly pic, but check out how BLUE that water is!!
Then, as we were just about to leave Mexico we saw this.... a tornado on the water.
it. was. awesome.
(click on it to see it better!)
Jade needed some down time, so me and Sis went and walked around for a while...
his favorite thing to do in our room... stand in the window and watch the water.
at our "fancy" dinner that night, sis coloring intensely
another episode waiting to happen... you can just tell by the look on his face. :(
he was feeling so miserable and kept coughing/gagging, so me and jade had to get out of there... and fast. So Sissy and Daddy had a little dinner date. Apparently it was adorable, cuz people kept coming up to us the next day commenting on what a cute Daddy he is, and how sweet their little dinner date was. :)
more towel animals... an elephant!
another one of their presents were flash lights, they projected pictures, and we spent forever playing with them that night.
silly pose.
me and cam.
so cute.
this is what jade did at every meal. pointed at the "yellow ketchup" and named all the letters.
checking out the ships tail...
it was a blast, but it had to come to an end...
