Disney Cruise Day 2

Day 2:

Today started by meeting the princesses!! We got McKenzie her 1st autograph book and she loved standing in line and patiently waiting for her turn to talk to each princess, have them sign her book, and get a picture with them.

First was Belle

Her favorite, Aurora

Tiana

Ariel

Cinderella

Our first stop was Nassau, Bahamas. We took a boat ride to the Atlantis hotel and walked around before taking a cab back to the ship to enjoy the pool some more.

Michael wanted to stay and play in the casino

Back at the pool and watching Monster's Inc. We had tried a nap when we got back, but Michael wasn't having it. McKenzie actually slept about a half hour before Michael woke her up.

Jumping in to Daddy

Michael loved jumping in!

More ice cream!

Pictures with Pluto before dinner. Michael loved him and wanted to play with his nose and whiskers.

Disney Cruise Day 1

The DISNEY CRUISE!!!! Way back in April, we went on the new Disney Dream boat with Mom-Mom and Poppa. Here we are with Minnie before boarding the ship!

This is a model of our ship. This is the 3rd Disney ship and just started sailing in 2011.

A hug for Mickey. I was wondering how they would do because neither one of them was too crazy about hugging characters previous to this. The last time we saw some I think was back at Halloween at Sea World when we saw the Sesame Street characters.

They both did really great with pretty much all the Disney characters. I think seeing so many of them all over the ship helped them get over any fear of them.

Checking out the pool deck with Daddy.

The Aqua Duck - the first water coaster on a ship!

Soft serve ice cream every day!

Michael trying on his life vest...we tortured him.

The Mickey Pool

Sailing Away party on the pool deck

Michael especially loved the character shows and all the dancing and singing.

McKenzie and Poppa at dinner. Lots of dress up, she dressed as Minnie for dinner the first night.

Our first night, dinner was at Animator's Palatte where Crush and other characters interacted with the people eating.

Dessert! Mickey ears ice cream

Looking out at sea on their first cruise...nice...at ages 4 and 1!

Bike-a-thon

I know I have been a bad blogger! It is the end of July, and I haven't updated since the end of March I think! It's going to be a slow process, but hopefully I can get caught up.

These pictures are from McKenzie's Bike-a-thon (trike-a-thon) at school in early April. There she is in the front.

Stopping to fill up with gas

At the carwash with Holden

Of course Michael wanted nothing to do with the infant room and they had to bring him out to me, luckily they let him play too so I could stay.
