The end of the pictures!!!

These final pictures are just snapshots of us on the ship, although there is the one of the cute little monkey that was in our room one night (ya know how they make all sorts of cute animals...I had to post at least one)!!!

Again - more pictures!

These pictures include a few with Mickey Mouse, one with our family and our server, and one with our fam on a bike ride around Castaway Cay.

More pictures!!!

These pictures include a bit of Castaway Cay, and the kids swimming on the ship. They had a waterslide into the Mickey pool, and of course the boys eating ice cream (all the time)!!! This is also a picture of Bart and I on our anniversary, which we celebrated on the ship. Happy 11 years!!!

Cruise!!!

Saturday we headed onto the Disney Magic! Yay! We were so excited! We went on the cruise with my in-laws, and all of their kids. There was a total of 34 of us! The kids loved seeing their cousins everywhere! In a nutshell, the cruise set sail on Saturday, on Sunday we spent the day at Castaway Cay, the private disney island. Monday, we were at sea. Tuesday we spent the day at Grand Cayman. Wednesday at Cozumel. Thursday at sea again. Friday, back to Castaway Cay. And of course Saturday we were back in Florida. We all had a great time!

Day at Sea World

Friday we spent the day at Sea World (my personal favorite for some reason). I have always loved Sea World.

Vacation!!! Discovery Cove

We just got back from an awsome vacation to Florida! We did so many things and I could go on and on forever, so I will try to stick to the basics!!! We flew into Florida on Wednesday and on Thursday went to Discovery Cove, so that is where I will start with the pictures!!! It was a little bit chilly that day, but we still had a great time. Bart, Rexton and I were able to swim with the dolphins, and Rexton and Kolton both tried snorkeling. We ate a ton and spent hours on their lazy river and touching the sting rays!

Why can't they stay young???

Okay, so since I am on a role right now with adding new posts, I decided to add one more!!! I almost wasn't going to post this because it is so precious, but it is worth it. So, Rexton was asked to play indoor soccer, and as many of you know, it costs a lot more than AYSO. Well, we wanted him to play, if he really wanted to, but also wanted him to know that he was making a commitment because this goes for 16 weeks. Anyway, we told him if he wanted to, he could, but would need to do a few extra chores around the house to help pay for a little bit of it. We really want him, as well as all of our children, as they grow up, to take responsibility for some of the things they do. Anyway, so this all took place on Saturday and he was pretty sure he wanted to play. Sunday morning, as we were getting ready for church, Bart found this in his church bag (and we had to take a picture). Just in case you can't tell what it is, it is a note saying "You can have these Dad. For indoor soccer. Please please please. I love you." At the bottom, his wallet (with $4.00 inside) is taped to the paper. If you have ever seen your tough-guy husband get emotional, well this one did it for Bart! Needless to say, we were both very touched. Of course we would have let him play anyway, but the fact that he did this all on his own, was very rewarding for a parent!
