Disney Cruise part 1

After 2 years of WDW trips, we knew we wanted a break. So many people, the heat, the lines, etc. We definitely missed the magic of the trip and Connor's definitely in that magical age still. We knew we wanted to do a fun trip before Kindergarten and when we saw that Disney was doing a Marvel theme cruise this spring, we just had to sign up! The trip did not disappoint. Now that I'm not swaying, I would say I definitely would do it again. The boys were fantastic travelers and were blown away by the size of the boat. There were many tears when we got back to Miami and we weren't able to stay for another week (or live on there, haha). It was fun watching them interact with all the characters and they got a lot of swimming/water slide time in! They constantly impress us on trips and it's time to expand our travels with them! Here are some pics from the first part :) 




Connor only takes naps when traveling, haha


Straight to the pool/slides when we got on the boat!

We all loved the slide and I can't count how many times a day these boys did it.

Sail away party

The boys ate so well and enjoyed the shows and entertainment at dinners

I had forgotten all about towel animals on cruises. They loved what Calvin made them every night. Connor was just amazed the whole week by it all.


Lots of meeting characters in between swimming 

I've never seen Colin laugh as hard as he did at this magic/ventriloquist show :)

Rapunzel's restaurant was super fun and very entertaining! Connor loved all the food, haha.

Pirate night!

My cute pirates :)

They did a fun deck show and kiddos loved the fireworks. The shows were great at night, but late. We usually left 1/2 way through.

Cozumel

Daddy picked a great excursion with tons of kid fun!




Show with my little man while Colin and daddy watched Peter Pan in the room (one of their favorite movies now). Connor loved all the singing and performances.

Nana's birthday weekend, spring soccer, and bye tooth #3

We spent last weekend in Nashville celebrating Nana's birthday with family. It was the boys first trip and they really lucked out with staying at the Opryland hotel. Such a cool hotel and perfect rainy weekend to stay inside and play! We had some great family time, lots of swimming time, and made a visit to Hamzah/Katy and Cole/Sheena.

 

Boat ride

Pizza night and water show
 
Water show fun!

We spent all of Saturday at their new indoor water park. The kids wore us out, haha.

Colin braved the big kid slides and loved it...as long as we made it go a little slower ;)

This boy had a blast running around everywhere!

Daddy didn't get injured, hooray!
 
Lots of playing Superheroes for Connor, and lots of swimming the lazy river for Colin.

Connor liked doing the lily pad challenge, he made it across pretty easy!
 
That night we celebrated Nana's birthday with presents, cookies, a water show, and to-go Italian :)

Sunday morning we headed back to the water park for a few more hours.

Dance dance dance 

These cousins are way too cute :)

Almost all of us!

While we were away... We were so excited to come home to papers to officially be "under contract"


Trip to the lot to see the progress!

Derek had a Top Golf friend afternoon Wednesday and I had a girls night :)

This cutie had to get his bottom tooth pulled Thursday. He chipped it while he was still numb from his other tooth pull last month. It recently started hurting him, so out it went. He was a trooper and will be able to happily enjoy all the cruise ice cream next week now :)

A little arcade/laser tag post tooth pulling!

 

Spring soccer started today!
 
K and Colin discussing their score plan...

They had a blast and each scored a few goals

Cousin hugs :) So happy Mimi and Pawpaw were here this weekend to watch!
 
Post-soccer pizza!!
