Biggest in the WORLD

 Last month we took an amazing cruise vacation on the
Allure of the Seas
 The BIGGEST cruise ship EVER made!
 The ship was HUGE!  and had so many things to do and see!
 This is the outdoor stage at the farthest end of the ship 
At night they had water-show performances


 Our room had a balcony over 'central park'
 Open-air and real growing plants.  With shops and Cafes



 On-board boardwalk! 
 Complete with a carousel ride, Johnny Rockets, Hot Dog cafe, candy store and much more!
 The ship even had indoor fountains below a skybar that literally moved up and down between floors on the ship

 Of course there was also all the food you could want/more than you could ever eat. 
LOL!  Notice that each of us have more than one plate in front of us  ;)
 'Save room for dessert' became 'Make Room For Dessert'


 We stopped off at some neat ports.  Here are the boys; swimming in Haiti!  

 Next stop:  Jamaica! 
 That's our ship behind us!  Not a hotel!  We were docked so close to the shopping

 Billy making friends with local Law Enforcement

 These are the georgeous waters of Cozumel
Perfectly Clear!

 That's the Allure, docked literally right next to another RC Ship.
Ours is the big one  ;) 
 The boys went on a Jeep excursion with snorkeling (not great for the baby)
So mom and I had a 'Girls Day'
 At our excursion we were cooking, mixing drinks (virgin), and dancing!
 We get there and tables are set up with all the supplies we would need for the day

 Fresh squeezed lime for margaritas!
 Cheers!
It's all you can drink!

 With the direction of our instructors - We diced, cut, chopped, and ground ingredients to make 7 different types of salsa! 
Plus an unlimited supply of chips to eat all we wanted of our creations. 
These are the dips mom and I made-the final was a fruit salsa served over ice cream! 
 Our cooking class ended with Salsa Dance lessons 
:) 

Headed back on board and back to Florida
 Days at sea were just as great as being at a port. 
There was so much to do!
Here are the boys- surfing on-board the ship!


 Mom and Dad even went surfing too!   
 There was also a zip-line 18 floors up. Mini Golf. Numerous pools and spas. A kiddie water park. Movie Theatre. 'Beach-side' pool. And of course all the food/ snacks/ ice cream you could want!
 We all had an amazing time!  Fun and Relaxing!  This was a great experience full of Brand New Memories! 
Thank you Mom and Dad!!!!!

Rainy Day

Cayden and I were looking at a weekend home with cold Rainy Days.
So, we got to cooking up some fun!
For Breakfast, Cayden made us some blueberry muffinsHe actually did really well with most of the steps by himself!He even cleaned up while they bakedDelicious!Later for fun we tried out mess-free finger paintingIt seemed like a neat idea; but Cayden was bord after only a couple minutes....
Play-doh was way more fun for him
Lunch Time!
