Vacation Part I

Finally posting pictures from our vacation. We had SOO much fun. The cruise was beautiful!
Hallie enjoying mini golf on the upper decks.
The girls getting ready to try out the pool.
There was a sailboat race behind them.
Hiking and beautiful views.
Hallie enjoying the pool.
Somehow these pictures loaded all mixed up. This beach was beautiful!

Heidi loved the pool slide.
She went down it over and over. :)
Another gorgeous beach.
They just HAD to try out the inline skating. Neither of them can skate at all, but they had fun trying.
We loved this guy! He had SOO much personality and always made the girls feel so special. They would run and give him a hug any time they saw him on the ship.
Cruising into the sunset.

This was the coolest tide pool beach. We saw so many little crabs, fish, and sea anemones.
Formal night.
They were so excited in these cute dresses Aunt Sara made for them.

Another highlight was all of the animals made out of our towels each night. Made the girls so excited to go to our room for bed each night. :)



Super cool caves we hiked down into that were full of tide pools.









I think this one was a dog.

This is one of the coolest forts I've ever been to. Amazing views and amazing ruins.



Cool ship wreck we found and spent the afternoon swimming and snorkeling around. Heidi did her first snorkeling here. She liked seeing the fish.


Part II

LOVED my 31 cooler bag... thanks Anna. We packed this bag full of food each day to take with us on to the islands.
These were at the ship wreck. Seriously annoying how mixed up these pictures loaded.
And yes the girls dance at every beach we stop at.


These are just some of my favorites from the beaches we went to. They are so mixed up so I'm not going to say where they're all from.




This was in St. Kitts. The girls were SO excited to get to hold a monkey. It was SOO cute! Now we all want a pet monkey.




This is what our teeny tiny room looked like. :) They folded the girls beds up into the wall each day then pulled them out each evening for us.



Swan towels!
LOVED this picture because its how we all felt. When we got home I set Hallie on her bed and told her to wait there while I found her toothbrush in all of our bags. When I came back she was out! Too cute! I felt like a mean mama getting her up to brush her teeth. They had had so much gum on the planes couldn't let them sleep without brushing.
It was SOOO good to be home although the next morning we missed waking up to a beautiful new island and breakfast served in bed... yeah, I didn't get up and do that. :)
