Caribbean Cruise Part 3

There are three parts to this post and for some reason I always get them in backwards order, so start down at post one.

We had so much fun! Here are some of the crazy things we did with the family. All the girls decided to participate in the BIG HAIR CONTEST. Tiva won the grand prize and I got a prize but only because of my amazing moon walking skills and mostly because of my cute baby that waved at everyone (oh and did I mention we were pretty much the only ones that entered). We also played a game of red rover on the deck one night that turned into a big game of tickle tag. It was so fun to just laugh each night after dinner until our bellies hurt so much we thought we might puke. I love my family and it was so fun to spend time with them on this fun filled vacation!

Caribbean Cruise Part 2

Stop #1: Cozumel Continued
We also played on this beautiful playground under the palm trees. Then my mom and sister took the girls back to the ship for naps and Damon and I had some time to wander the shops and relax on the shore. I felt like I was in a Corona commercial.


Stop #2: Grand Cayman
Damon went snorkling with my sisters and my brother in law where they saw some pretty amazing fish and even a few stingrays. While my parents and I took Miya and Emma to the turtle farm and to see the dolphins. We got to hold any of the turtles we could catch. Some of those bigger ones can be HEAVY.

Here is Miya and I shaking hands with the dolphin.

Stop #3: Jamaica
We spent the morning shopping around the little shops while my family did their shore excursions. Then they watched Miya and Emma for us in the afternoon while Damon and I hiked the Dunn's River Falls. It was beautiful. I couldn't get over how amazing it was. We actually hiked through the water falls. They cascaded down like a staircase. We couldn't take our camera because it would have gotten ruined in the water but Damon took some really cool pics with his iphone that he can upload later. It was an amazing trip! I wish it hadn't ended so soon.

Caribbean Cruise

Last week we went on a cruise with my family to the Caribbean. It was so fun! We boarded the Carnival Liberty on Saturday, May 8. And came home Saturday May 15. It goes by way too fast. There was so much to do on and off the ship.

We spent some time almost every day in the pool. On days when the ocean was a little choppy it would rock the boat just enough to create a wave pool.

I got to spend Mother's day/my birthday on the cruise. It was so nice to be with all my family in such a beautiful place for my double special day!

Our first stop was in Cozumel, Mexico. We spent most of the day on the beach. It was amazing how clear the water was. We played in the sand, the canoes, pedal boats, floating mats, water trampolines, and the giant "iceberg" that Damon and I climbed up and jumped off.
