I've been wanting to do a cruise for a few years now and WE DID IT.
And no one got sick!!
We invited Petes mom to join us.
We did a 4 day Baja Mexico Cruise on the Carnival Inspiration
Ensenada and Catalina Island.
My kids Requests:
Jaiden- We go snorkeling
Kadence- the ship have a slide
No request from Rylan (Hes the most easy going with this kind of thing)
We went 1 day early and spent time @ Crystal & Waynes house with the Cousins.
Boarding the ship went nice and smooth
Oh, and I take Lots of "selfies" and "usies" haha
We spent lots of time swimming and laying out and eating!
And playing mini golf.
My little models waiting for our late dinner.
Jai didnt even make it till dinner was over. Dessert was AMAZING and he still would wake for that.
Shuttle boat (Is that the name?) to Catalina
It was overcast and cool in the morning. I knew Jaiden was not going to let up on Snorkeling and worried. But we got half size wet suits and its wasnt bad AT ALL. The kids had fun.
Jaiden hoped for more colorful fish.
There was a TON but I've snokerled in Hawaii and Costa Rica - both BEAUTIFUL tropical fish.
So.. it was fun but not Amazing!
I showed her how your body floats in the salt water- even when she sitting on me. She wasnt quite sold and preffered riding on my back. :)
Beach @ Catalina after lunch and shopping
Our first towel animal.. and the kids were in LOVE!
We hit the 2 family friendly comedy shows. Me and Rose really enjoyed it.
Jaiden laughed and Rylan and Kadence were so so. It may have been slightly over our heads.
Jaiden reminded me after our his favorite joke that the comedian said his some told him.
If Trump and Hilary were on a cruise and the ship went down. Who would survive?
America!
That was a late night but we then went to the through the decades show. Singing and dancing. Rose really enjoyed since it had her type of music but we all did. It was really good. Kadence said she REALLY liked it. Dancing and Performing and dressed up.. of course!
Ready to leave the ship for a day in Ensenda!
Because most the Excusions were 8 and older I had to search outside the box.
I found AMAZING reviews for a MUCH cheaper horse back riding tour. A husband and Wife run it and its super low key.
They pick you up in the personal vehicle.
Another couple came along and the kids LOVED riding in the back. She did offer up front! haha
Gettign ready!
They heareded the bulls through as we waited
Poor Ry had allergies from the dogs, and maybe the horses too. I had benadryl but he still struggled most the ride and didnt enjoy the first half too much. He said he liked the last half.
We rode out of the town. Through the desert and up a hill to over see the city and the ocean. It was AMAZING! Definately a favorite all around I think.
Gorgeous and outside the box.
We went back to her house for chips and dip and soda and the kids played with her dogs!
Nap time! They didnt want to wake up. Our room got pitch black and was nice and cold. Best naps ever!
We went to 2 different Hasbro game shows and both boys got called up. They loved it!
Rylan played connect four basketball and Jaiden Huge Yathzee Bowling
We did the towel folding and then watch the puppet show. Kadence liked it but was too little kid for everyone else.
A little ping pong on the last day. Jaiden is so fun to play any kind of game with now... hes real competetion and you dont have to play slow or easy!
Eating whenever and whatever out by the pool was a big plus for us big snackers!
Rylan made a scorpion towel :) Cutie!
We had a AMAZING time and definately plan to cruise in the future!
