Caribbean Cruise Days 5-7

On Thursday morning we woke up and were in Belize!  We had to take a tinder boat to shore. 

On the boat in the beautiful blue water!

We took a 45 minute bus ride to an eco-park.  It was beautiful!  In the middle of the rainforest, huge pool, drinks and food served poolside....the only bummer was that it was raining off and on that morning.  But we still had a great time!






Another day, another strawberry smoothie!



"I want an umbrella in my drink like Mama!"

We got back to the tender boat about 2:30.  Neither boy had napped yet, and Bennett had an epic meltdown on the way back to the ship.  It was sad and pitiful and he was just so tired.  He and Trent headed to our room to nap, and Graham and I hit up the splash pad!

But first, ice cream!

Mammaw joined us at the splash pad!



We opted out of dinner in the dining room that night since both boys were tired.  The 4 of us ate at the buffet and then Graham requested cupcakes!
On Friday morning we woke up in beautiful Cozumel!  We were ready for a relaxing day at the beach.  Mammaw joined us for the day!  We took a short taxi ride to Paradise Beach Club.
















Mammaw had a "real" camera, and Graham was very curious about it!  She taught him how to take pictures, and he thought it was so\ cool!


Lunch by the pool!

B discovered guacamole!

Love him!

My nap time view from our balcony.  The water was gorgeous.

Sacked out on our bed for nap time.

The boys slept great all week.

After good naps we hit up the splash pad but of course had to eat ice cream first!

Friday night before dinner

G and Uncle Brad


The wait staff sang a few songs!





Our towel animal for the night, and then Bennett promptly rolled on top of it and smushed it.

I went to the casino that night with Kelsey, Elizabeth, Brad, and Todd!

Started Saturday morning out with some shuffleboard



And then we played at the splash pad and had smoothies!

And a quick game of miniature golf before lunch







Lunch at Johnny Rockets!



My nap time view!  It was a beautiful day at sea!


Before dinner on Saturday night!

Love my SIL Kelsey!

Aunt Kelsey wanted a pic with her nephews.  You can see who cooperated!

Another song by the wait staff!

4 generations!  Such a special time with family this week

Siblings!

And the original 6

And the additions!

Disembarkation took awhile on Sunday morning.  This sweet smiley face kept us entertained.

And Graham had a little fun putting stickers on everybody!

Family vacation for the win!

  1. So many great pictures. Such a wonderful time. How fun and beautiful to be in a rain forest! The boys sure liked their smoothies. So glad they were great travelers. I'm not surprised.
