Cruise Time!

This is a photo download of cruise pictures!
We went on a week long cruise on the Mexican Rivera.  We visited Cabo SanLucas, Mazatlan, and Puerto Vallarta.  We had a blast!
 This is our third cruise, but first with kids and therefore the first time in the pools on the ship.


 At Cabo SanLucas

 We took a water taxi around to see the sea lions and then went snorkeling off the shore.











 Mazatlan was a very different experience, we had never been there before.
 The kids ran around chasing pigeons while holding the camera.
 What a beautiful city!






 After walking around the city and through the market we took an open air taxi around the city.  DJ had a blast in the front taking all of the pictures he wanted.  









 The swimming pools were defiantly the kids favorite part of the boat. 



 In Puerto Vallarta we got on a pirate ship.  This was an amazing excursion.
 Alex almost got captured by pirates.
 Okay, he did get captured.
 The pirate ship took us to a secluded beach that was just pristine.
 The water was crystal clear and the weather couldn't have been nicer.
 We did a bunch of swimming in the ocean.




 We also found a merman.
 This kid LOVED playing on the beach.
 The fish were amazing to watch.
 The also had sea kayaks for us to use.
 Silly boy with silly faces.

 My two ocean swimmers.
 There was a man with an iguana walking around.  They boys now want a pet iguana.



 It even gives kisses.


 The pirates had a treasure hunt for all of the kids.
 That was one of their favorite parts.

 The urinals on the pirate ship, be careful boys!

 One night there was a storm at sea.



 You just have to, right?


 We went to almost all of the shows on the ship.  After this show (being in the very front row) DJ went up to all of the performers and told them that they were the best singers on the ship.  They all thought he was the sweetest boy and were very appreciative of his compliments. 
 Just a little chess on the deck of the boat.
We had such a great time on our surprise vacation!  We would love to go on another cruise with the boys one day in a couple of years.  The night life on the boat is amazing, but when two of your dates crash at 8:00 every single night you don't seem to be able to enjoy it as much.  We are grateful that we were able to take our boys on this amazing vacation.
