The BEST way to start off a NEW Year!

We decided to start the year off right as a family by cruising together!  We took a five day cruise with the boys and LOVED every minute of it!  I think they did too!  Garrett and Graham both expect dessert after every meal now!!!
Here we are heading to the airport!  




We arrived!  They loved checking out the view from the balcony.  Graham loved looking at the "wador."


 

 Safety first!  Hanging out at the Muster Station...I think we provided the entertainment!  :)

We were a little nervous about how they would handle being on a BIG ship but they were troopers and never seemed to skip a beat!  Garrett even enjoyed going to the kids club!  I think he liked the fact that he could do something that Graham wasn't allowed to do!  Plus they had time to play wii video games.  Needless to say he was on cloud 9!

We helped Princess celebrate 50 years!  The boys enjoyed the balloon drop!




This cruise had one stop ... The Cayman Islands.  We decided to take a beach break and we rode to a resort for the day.  It was a small resort so it was almost like we had it ALL to ourselves.  The workers were wonderful and were anxious to meet our every need!  


We enjoyed hanging out at the beach.  Garrett even chased an iguana on the beach and Graham was still trying to figure out just what you do in the sand.

















Garrett continues to LOVE the pool and spent most of the afternoon just like this and this is how Graham wanted to spend his afternoon!  He loves looking at water whether its the ocean or pool water.  He is perfectly content sitting on the edge just watching it!  Hopefully he'll learn to love it just as much as his brother.  

Graham got to use some of the areas in the kid zone with our supervision.  He enjoyed playing with the toys.




Our last night was a formal night.  I think all the excitement from the week finally caught up with Garrett.  He fell asleep at the dinner table and we placed him in Graham's stroller to sleep while we ate!  No worries he later woke up and we fed him ice cream!!! ...it was vacation after all!  :)



 

We had a late flight home so we took advantage and went on an excursion in Ft. Lauderdale to the Everglades.  We enjoyed riding on an air boat and seeing one of the Gator Boys wrangle one of the biggest alligators.  Garrett even got a chance to hold a baby alligator!  He was beyond excited.











This was a fun way to end our vacation!  We had a blast and I know the boys are looking forward to the next adventure!
