Cruise.....Mexico......Fun.......

Note to readers......we did not go on this Cruise to go to Mexico (frankly Mexico been there done it not too impressed) we went to go on a Cruise with our kids.  My Hayden (the happy boy below) is obsessed with the Ocean and everything related to it so hence--- a cruise.  We drove (we NOT do this again).....I will save the money and fly.  I do not do road trips. But we had a great time and the kids really had the time of their lives.  This boat was made for kids!!

 Above is Hayden's face after 11 hrs in the car and below is my face!!!

 This is the Happy Cabin Dance by Anna.  That bed above her head came out of the ceiling.  Pretty much a great way to start of the trip! They were so in awe of that!

 We have a Window (yes a window) a luxury of the poor crusier....they loved to sit in and watch the water go by!

 Highlight of the Ship.....the Waterslide...Hayden took to it right away.  Anna not so much.  It took her a couple days but after she tried it I could not get her off it. 

 This is Anna and her friend Lauren that she met at Camp Carnival (the AMAZING children's program they have on the ship).  Anna made a ton of friends and spent so much time there.  She loved it!

 Love the face on this kid!

 Another highlight for Hayden was this mini golf course.  It was always crowded and we didnt play much but this day it was soooo windy no one was playing so we went and played.  It was hilarious and fun!

 This photo was taken in the fantastic Theatre for the shows.  This is the one and only show my kids went to.  The costumes were a little more bare then I really wanted them to see so we only did one show with them.  The rest we went to while they were at Camp Carnival (blessed Camp Carnival)

 This is my kids RUNNING throw the corridor to race to open the door with the electronic key card.  Oh the simple joys in life!

 This was my favorite Towel Animal....my kids LOVED these every night!

 Anna in her first Taxi ride.  Hello...Mexico taxi's.....are very scary

 When I was here with my family 2 years ago Kell bought  a fabulous hat that I have always envied so we went and found the exact same store and I bought me one!

 Lunch a the Hard Rock Cafe...Puerta Vallerta

 The kids were fascinated with the blown glass.  The each bought one...Anna a purple turtle and Hayden a black and Red Scorpian

 Hello.....Watching the Jonas Brothers Concert while swimming at the pool....Anna was in Heaven~

 See....she did it!!!

 Love this picture....she is soooooo happy!

 Very BIG chair

 This was at a show in Matzatlan....the show was very Mexican and hokey but the kids loved the balloon animals the mime made for them.....have I mentioned I think mimes are creepy

 Hayden took this great photo of our ship in Cabo San Lucas

 Watching the Dolphins swim...the only things I would do different is I would have paid for my kids to swim with the Dolphins and done nothing else.  It would have been worth it!

 This is Hayden and I watching the Dolphins off the side of the ship....none of the photos turned out but it was fun to see them in the wild

 Hayden was also obessessed with the napkins and how they were folded every night at dinner.  He is so funny

 Water pad.....loved it!

Our waiter Al....Anna loved him so !

 this is fake sadness at our departure.....

Tons of fun!!
