The next week we always have a Candlelight dinner for Valentines Day. The China comes out and the lights go down...The kids get very excited cuz it is different from every other day, just something they look forward to!
Brett's Birthday he turned 38 So we celebrated big!! We flew to Florida, went to Disney world for a couple of days then boarded the Disney Wonder for Cruise.... It was simply the best trip ever. Now all I get asked it when are we going again? Well not for a long time... We went to Nassau, Bahamas, & Castaway Key, Disney's private Island. Here are some pictures of our time there.
Keaton's first airlane ride...
in the Lobby of the terminal just before boarding the Ship... Brittany was just a little excited;)
Brett was spoiled with 2 Mickey Mouse Bars with Sprinkles. They are his favorite. He had to order off the kids menu to get them. But our server had it down, after each dinner he got one or two...
Kaeli was eyeing the slide onboard and was very excited to go on it.
Picture at the sailing party on top of the deck
Connor was very excited about the Sports Court on top, lots of Basketball...
Connor was pointing to the NASA Building can you see it?
We took the Older 3 kids off the ship into Nassau, we left the 3 younger on the ship in their groups and Keaton went to the Nursery. In Nassau, we went to visit the Queens Staircase, Fort Fincastle and went shopping in the Straw Market.. It was a great experience to be out of the USA and see the kids reactions to poverty. Eye opener for them. Crazy but fun.
after we went back on we grabbed the younger 3 and took them to the Straw market to get a treasure... they choose to get purses with their names on them.
The next day we went to Castaway Key, Disney's private Island. It was a little cold. Brett went snorkeling with my Dad and and saw lots of Jelly Fish, Sting rays and many other sea life... Ashleigh we didn't every see. She was in the teen scene and took off with all her new friends. I did see her for a second to snap a photo. When we got off the ship they had the ship Flying Dutchman from the movie Pirates of the Carribean So we had to get photos of that it was really cool.
Keaton didn't like the sand much but he loved the toys Grandma bought him!
On Deck for the Pirate Party, including awesome Fireworks at sea. So fun...
Our last Dinner on the Ship, was a dress up night. There was a storm coming in so dinner was a little side ways then it went back to normal after we got out of the storm. We had a great time. Coming out of the Dining Room, we saw Goofy, so we had to get a picture.
We were leaving the room to disembark the ship and we took one last photo of everyone
After leaving the ship we went to Disney's Animal Kingdom and rode Expedition Everest, the kids next favorite after Rocking Rollercoaster ride. Also got to see EPCOT. So much fun. Can't wait to go back on the new Disney Dream ship with the Big water tube slide... Counting down...
