Thanksgiving Cruise

We just returned from our eight day Caribbean cruise. We made port in three different countries. First was Colon, Panama, Limon, Costa Rica and last was Belize city,Belize. Very fun and adventurous especially since we were brave enough to take our two kids. Kemarie had a blast. The cruise provided activities for kids her age from 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Dane was a little more work, but he still had fun most of the time. My mom and all my siblings and spouses came as well. It was fun to be with the whole family,but very tiring as well. I am an early to bed person and my mom and sisters like to burn the midnight oil, so needless to say I am exhausted. I hope everyone else had a wonderful Thanksgiving and gained as much weight as I did on my cruise(jk). Here are some pictures to get a little taste of our vacation.


I caught her sitting in the splits a lot in the pool. Kemarie in the kiddie pool. We spent a lot of time there.
This is Dane and his cruise girlfriend Isabelle. He realy thought she was something. He followed her around the pool for a while.
Dane's favorite thing to eat on the cruise was ice cream cones.

All the kids just love thier Uncle Kenny. This is Dane and Zeke with Kenny.This is the whole gang at the Panama Canal. It was cool,but not my favorite thing we did. it takes a long time for anything to really happen. At least I can say I saw it.A picture of the panama Canal in operation. A very slow process. It will cost a ship 100,000 to 300,000 dollars to go through the canal. A ship will wait 24-48 hours in the harbour before they are called to go through the canal.At the pool again. Kemarie has stolen aunt Lauries hat and we took a few pictures.Dane was not very sure of the ocean, but he was having a blast in the sand. he ate it and loved putting it in his diaper. Eventually we had to take the diaper off. That was a fun mess to clean.Kemarie on the other hand prefered the oceanhands down. She wanted to go out really far. My brother said when he took her out she said, "Let go Kenny I paddle fast." She thought she should do it all alone. She cried when daddy Kenny and Brandon went swimming as far as they could. She wanted to go.Our cute little Cabana on the beach. My sister Jessie decided to keep all our bags safe. There werequite a few locals scout out our stuff.This is our server from India. We did a little cha-cha one night and he pickedup the two little boys and danced with them. The boys were a little leary.This is in Costa Rica preparing for their famous zipline. You fly through the trees on a thick cable. All the ladies looking hot as can ever. What a ride!! If you ever make it to Costa Ricalyou have to try ziplines. These are our guides and everyone who ziplined. A little preview of the midnight buffet that cruises aref amous for. I have no pictures of the actual buffet because between this time and that night my kids found the camera and hid it. It was not found until the second to the last day of the cruise.Mommy and Dane just hanging out at the port in Panama.
