I know it's pathetic that's it's December again and my last post was about December, so let's try and get caught up. I really thought I would have more time to get things done once the girls were in school all day, but life has just gotten busier.
We went on a Disney Cruise in January to the Mexican Riviera with my parents. It was one of the best vacations ever! If you like eating, relaxing and shows than a cruise is for you. They had an awesome kids club and my girls wanted to stay there all the time, so Steve and I even got some time to relax without worrying about the kids.
Here's a few pictures from our trip

Our formal dinner night
Me and my dad
Our waiters were amazing and always kept us entertained. They made hats out of napkins, always knew to bring the girls a mickey ice cream after dinner and even cut the kids food for us.
Steve's pan hat
Grandpa's cup hat
Grandma's Minnie bow
Kaitlin doesn't like to look silly and was mad about her bow.
We got to meet Characters everywhere we went!
The girls loved the Mickey Ice Cream bars!

Our house keeping staff was also awesome. Most nights we had little towel animals decorating the room.
The girls on the Floating Island. AKA a boat, but they did serve lunch, drinks, and provide us with snorkeling, kayaks, and a ride to Lovers beach.
The girls in their bed for the last night. They swapped beds each night so they could both have a chance on the top bunk.
We had so much stuff to carry that we put the girls to work at the airport and made them pull their own luggage. No, we aren't actually that mean, they really wanted to help and we thought the teamwork was cute.

What's better than watching Disney movies while you lounge at the pool?

Our Room. The couch turned into a bed and another dropped from the ceiling for the girls to sleep in. We even had a balcony which was nice to have so I could still get some sun while the girls napped.

Cadence liked hers.
Our first excursion: Las Caletas!
This excursion was amazing! We could have stayed there a couple days without getting bored. The kids got to do an amazing adventure hike including, rope bridges, rope climbs, zip lines, donkey rides, monkeys, ducks etc. Even though we enjoyed the beach and meal, watching the kids have a blast on their adventure was my favorite part.
Kaitlin always does this "drugged up" look for pictures. I'm not sure what she is doing but it's funny.

Our next excursion was the floating island at Cabo San Lucas.
We met at a booth near the Nowhere Bar. The sign is hard to read, but near the bottom it says:
"No one under 21 years of age and no girls over 95 pounds allowed"
Needless to say they had a whole wall of pictures of bikini clad drunk girls.

Grandma snorkeling. Grandpa stayed on the ship that day. It was time for him to go home.
My idea of snorkeling is to go waist deep in the water, put a mask on my face and hyperventilate as I look at the amazing fish. I wish I was brave in the ocean, but I'm just not. One day.....
Steve taking the kayak back to the floating island after me and the girls ditched him for the beach.
Land's End. Once you go around this peninsula it gets cold and you are on your way home :(
We had to cut our excursion short to make it back to the ship in time. Our nice guides found a friend with a flat boat to take us back to shore so they wouldn't have to take their entire Island back.
The last day at the pool. The ocean swells that day were so large that the swimming pool turned into a wave pool. One side would be completely empty while the other side rose 3 feet in depth. It was pretty crazy.
