Highlights

Here is just a small sample of our Caribbean cruise we took last week. We had a blast and LOVED spending 10 whole days with Jason! We haven't spent that much time with him in over 2 months! Here we are when we first got on the ship, of course we headed straight to the ice cream!


Our first formal night!

Many, many times Paisley would come back from camp Carnival with her face painted. Here she is a princess.

The recognizable tail of a carnival cruise ship.


Jason was a good sport during the camp carnival scavenger hunt and put ice cream all over his face to check off one of the items on the list.


Swimming in Jamaica! The water was really cold, but very beautiful. There weren't any waves and we all had a blast! Jason and I ended up getting sunburned on our shoulders, so that was a bummer for the rest of the trip, but it didn't slow us down!

In the Cayman Islands we went in a semi-submarine to see the coral reefs, ship wrecks and fish around the island. It was a lot of fun!


In Cozumel we had our biggest adventure. We took a long ferry ride across to mainland Mexico. Then we took a long drive down to Tulum so visit the Mayan ruins. Paisley and Jarom fell asleep on the car ride to and from the ruins.


The timing in Cozumel was short enough to make us nervous most of the day, so we were very happy it all turned out ok and we made it back to the ship in time!

The day before the cruise was over we stumbled across a "fun farewell" where the drinks were free, so we enjoyed some fruit punch!

Paisley loved the pizza on the cruise and had some almost every day. We also loved it when we got to sit by the window at dinner.

What a wonderful trip with wonderful people! We love cruising and it has been a long time since we have enjoyed such a great cruise! We can't wait to go again sometime!

  1. Wowee. You love crusin' and we love seeing and hearing all about your crusin'. It looks like there was a lot of fun, fun, fun for all. I can't imagine a bigger smile than Paisley's which she seemed to be wearing all the time.

  2. I am happy you went crusin' but I was the most happy that you got to spend so much time together. What cute, darling, cooperative kids (and lucky kids I might add). It seemed like the perfect blend of fun activities.
