THEY'RE BACK!!!!

I had so many pics to choose from it was way hard to decide, but I think I have norrowed it down. And Raegan has a ton-so you can click on her blog for more. This obviously was the airport, we are awaiting our departure.And look how thrilled they are!
This is the ships lobby, other than the decor-it was hard to remember it was christmas time.




There are three main dining rooms, this on is called Animators Palate. The pic on the wall start out black and white, and with each coarse they become colored and then move.
I rarely saw Brody or Hunter unless we were on a excursion. So when I did see him I convinced him to let me take a pic. This was our cabin #2576


This was lunch on the top dec, it was so pretty and warm-who would have guessed it was December? It was actually alot more fun having my mom, dad, sis, ellie, etc. on the cruise because I really never saw Brody and Hunter.


This was the view from our room







This was one of my favorite pictures, it's so hard for me to remember him as a little boy. How quickly he has grown up-and how handsome he has become!



This was another dining area-Parrot Cay. This was our "formal/dress up" dinner. It was nice and quite entertaining, considering Old Mike was spitting spit balls threw his straw at everyone(including the waitor) through dinner. Yes Ladies and Gentlemen-that is my father!




Every night they have plays/shows. This is the Walt Disney Theatre, each show is unique and very entertaining (not as entertaining as spit balls) but definetly a close second.


















Everyday the give you a "navigator" that has everything that is going on throughout the day. We decided to go play "Who wants to be a mouseketeer" kinda like Millionaire but with Disney questions. (which I'm an expert at) Hunter's number got called and he actually won! (With alot of help)



Having Ellie on the cruise was so much fun for me, I like to pretend she is mine! She is at the perfect age for all this Disney stuff and it makes it so much fun. This was the crown that my mom aka Princess Jasmine bought for her to match her shoes.












This was our first excursion-snorkeling at the Tiki Hut in St. Maarten. Our first 2 days were at sea so I think we were all just glad to get off the ship!













This is a Dutch Fort, I thought it was neat












This is us leaving snorkeling, it kinda sucked. We went early in the morning when it was kinda cloudy and as soon as we were leaving it was beautiful.












Tiki Hut




















This is St. Thomas, it's a little village on the beach


















As we were shopping and going through this alley, Raegan saw this grafitti and thought it would be a great pic. And it's true-this is my fav pic of her and Ellie.











They have a Pirates of the Carribean day and night-which include a deck party after dinner with fireworks.

















Who new that Johnny Depp would show up?

















































another Pirate and Wench








I woke up the morning we were in St. Thomas and looked out the window to see the rescue boats being lowered in the water-it freaked me out! But look how pretty that water is!































off to more snorkeling-Hunter looks excited, Brody not so much












We took a powerboat to two different spots that day. We saw lots of sea turtles, jellyfish,barracuda,stingray, fish, coral, etc.


















































This is the Oceaneer Lab which is Hunter's age group. He was so embarrassed when I went in there to take his pic.













These are the shoes that match the crown. I wanted Raegan to get her the whole outfit, but Shauna said she could just make it. Haha






















Cute little Princess Jamine












This was the other dining area Lumiere's
Ellie just loves her Grandma











Castaway "to cloudy to do anything" Cay




























Crab Races-aren't they so cute



















These flowers are all over, are they not so pretty











This was my view looking up from my lounge chair, I thought it would look cool















A rare spotting- Brody
He spent the whole day at the TEEN BEACH
















One last picture before we head back to the "snow in SLC"











This is in the lobby, behind them is the entrance to Lumiere's







Every night there was a different towel creation, what a talent. Or just too much time on there hands.

Weekend Getaway


We celebrated Bret's birthday a little early, since I will be gone on my cruise his exact b-day. So I took him to the Johnson's Mill- it's a Bed & Breakfast in between Heber and Midway. The room was perfect and the grounds were fabulous. We had dinner at the Snake Creek Grill which I would NOT recommend, and then we had a couples massage in our room- which I would HIGHLY recommend!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRET! I love u!













Now don't be shocked.....
I have no makeup on people, I realize it's a little scary but breakfast was at 9:00 am, and then we went for a walk and Bret likes me regardless so who cares. Right?
