Day one at sea...

We woke up around 9:30. It is weird not having any idea what time it is. We went up to breakfast. We sat by everyone and decided to take the kids to camp carnival while we layed out by the pool. They went but I got a call about 5 minutes after I left saying that Dawson was crying and wouldn't stop. Soph and the girls were fine though. I picked him up. He was so upset. He and I walked around the boat while he calmed down. We picked the girls up for lunch then went and made a build a bear at Camp Carnival. Soph chose a bunny and named her flower and Daws picked a puppy and named him Crew. When we were done there we all got our swim suits on and went to the pool. It was cold and windy but they didn't seem to mind it in the hot tub. I layed on a lounge chair and soaked up the sun. It was elegant night so at 4 we all went back to the room to get ready. We got a big family picture on the stairs in front of the dining room, then ate dinner. We ate lobster, it was amazing. I love the food in the dining room. It is one of my favorite parts of the trip so far. We took the girls back to Camp to watch toy story. Daws was not going to let me leave him. So he and I walked around, then went back to the room and went to bed. We had a puppy towel waiting for us along with some yummy chocolates. Cor brought Soph back around 10 and she was asleep about 5 minutes after she got back. 

Happy Easter and Cruise Day...

We woke up at 6 am. We gave the babes their Easter baskets, then were on our way to California. We ate in Primm then drove to the coast. We didn't get lost thanks to our trusty GPS. We arrived at the dock around 12:30. We were some of the first people there and the embarkation process went a lot smoother than expected minus a few little problems. We went right to our rooms where our luggage was waiting. We cleaned up then went to eat lunch. We sat by the window and watched them load things onto the boat, Pelicans get fish out of the water and seals swim around in the harbor. After lunch we changed into our swim suits and went up to the pool. Corey, Jeff and the kids danced at the sail away party. Daws and I went up to the top and watched us leave land behind! I got a little motion sick but thankfully Tanya brought Dramamine and was kind enough to share with me. Then it was time to shower and head to the Black Pearl for dinner. We had the best waiter in the world. His name was Peter. He was so sweet to the kids and played with them at the kids table so the adults could enjoy dinner. I loved being able to order as much as I wanted. We went to Camp Carnival after dinner and let the kids look around while we got them signed up. The babes and I were so tired we went back to the room and watched a movie and fell asleep. Cor and the boys went to the casino. The bed was so comfy and I loved that it was really dark!

Mexico here we come...

We woke up early and went on our way! We had some fun things to do in the car. Soph asked if we were there every 20 minutes. She was so excited to see her best friends Maddie and Hannah. We got to Vegas around 2:00. The kids swam for a bit, then we walked the strip. Not such a good idea with the little kids. I do like the Bellagio flower garden. We ate $40 hamburgers at the Flamingo then went to Treasure Island. We were going to watch the Pirate show but 3 minutes in I felt like I was watching an R rated movie. We left in a hurry and ran over about 100 people toes with the stroller. They were unhappy with me and I got yelled at a few times. Gotta love Vegas. We watched the Water show at the Bellagio. The kids loved it! We  saw a little boy who was lost. He was from Mexico and was so scared. I felt so sad for him. Luckily we have Spanish speakers in the family and they were able to take him to his hotel! The guys and kids went back to the hotel, while the girls and I went to find target. We ended up at the airport and had a good laugh! Can't wait to get to Cali tomorrow~

One more day...

Tomorrow we will be on our way to California!! I am so excited to be on the cruise! We played outside and got our things packed up! The babes are so excited to go on the Big boat!

Easter Eggs..

We dyed Easter eggs tonight. The babes loved it. This is the only Easter activity this year. We are leaving on our trip on Saturday! So excited!

Potty Training...

I thought I would attempt to Potty Train this little man. We spent the whole day going to the bathroom every 15 minutes. He thought it was awesome. Had a lot of accidents and went on the potty three times. I was super excited. The next day... He had zero interest, cried and wanted his diaper. :( Maybe in a couple months!
