Rudolph musical

Tonight we saw Rudolph the red nosed reindeer musical.  Honestly, it was just "ok".  Our family typically loves all kinds of shows and musicals but this one we could have passed on.  Perhaps it was because we were just off the cruise and a bit tired, perhaps it was that the tallest person on earth sat in front of us and kept moving his head back and forth.  At any rate, we made it through the show and did get some cute photos in front of the tree there.

We just returned from an AMAZING Disney cruise! We all had so much fun on our very first family cruise. Disney really knows how to do it! This picture was on Disney's private island. All the kids snorkeled and swam with the fish. Poppa and Lexi of course went way way out. Poppa and Lexi turned snorkeling up a notch or three and went snorkeling with stingray. Yes stingray! Lexi said it was one of the coolest things she has ever done. We can not wait to do another cruise.

Our Holiday trip .... come on board Disney's Dream

What am amazing time we had! We started our trip with a night in Disney World and went to the Very Merry Christmas parade. The following day, we began our very first family cruise.  What a blast, Disney knows how to do it right.  Food was awesome, shows were fantastic, activities were every where and all the time.  The first day we were at port and out in the sea, this gave us time to really explore all the ship has to offer.  So much of course!! One day we were at the Bahamas ... we got off the ship and explored a bit.  The girls got an island hair braid, we took a horse ride through the city and did a little shopping.  Disney's private island was the following day and it was truly unbelievable!! We all went snorkeling .... Gavin and Carli hung pretty close to shore, but were still able to snorkel with fish.  Poppa and Lexi went out quite a bit and were able to see much more.  They also went on a snorkeling adventure and snorkeled with sting ray.  We went on a glass bottom boat .... that was super cool.  At the end of the cruise we found out that we were selected as a "magical family" that came with a few surprises for us.  We all decided want to take another Disney cruise!
