Our Cruise!


First, I need to apologize for not posting sooner. We have been home for 4 days now and I have been rather slow in getting this posted. Second, I need to apologize for the length of this post. But as you all know, we were on a cruise for 7 days and this isn't even half of the pictures I took. We had a great time. It was really nice to have family with us so we could actually relax a little. The kids were great and we all had a blast.

This is our ship- The Carnival Conquest

Jazlynn during the muster drill- everyone has to do it and not so much fun after standing in lines to get on the ship and the kids having had no naps. Jazlynn was a good sport. Janae on the other hand was not and cried the whole time since they make everyone wear their vests.

Jared, his brother Ben, and the kids hanging out at the in-laws balcony. It was nice that they had a balcony since we were in an inside cabin.
Janae with her pirate-princess faice painting. The kids program was so awesome the kids begged to go there and would stay for hours. Seriously a lifesaver.
Jazlynn loved climbing on the bunkbeds. Kinda scary but she is a monkey.
Jaydon and Jared during the muster drill.


Jaydon going down the waterslide on the ship. He loved it and went over and over again. He had to clinb like 6 flights of stairs everytime so he got alot of exercise.
Jaydon eating his icecream before the slide. What a life huh??
Me on the deck watching the ocean- so much fun!
Jared and I got to spend alot of one on one time with Jazlynn since the older kids were in camp carnival alot of the time and she ate it up.



Our first port was jamaica and we went to a resort called sunset beach. They had water slides, a lazy river, beach access, all you can eat food, hot tubs, kayaks and kiddie pools. We had a great time and the kids loved swimming. Jaydon stayed int he pool all day.

Grand Cayman was the second stop and we went to sting ray city.
Us on the ferry to get off the boat.

Sunset Beach, Montego Bay Jamaica.




Jared trying to get Jazlynn to see the stingrays- the water was too choppy and she didn't like it too much.
Nana and Jaydon on the way to stingray city.
The girls and I hung out on the boat-I decided that I did not like stingrays. Creepy and slimy and considering that they can kill you- not my thing.

Jazlynn our little model.





All the black spots are stingrays and you swim with them and hold them, touch them and feed them. The guys thought this was awesome, the girls- not so much.








Jazlynn is our little beach bum.










Daddy taught Jaz how to hang out and enjoy the sun.
We also went to Cozumel but I have to get the pics from my bro-in-law since he took all the pics that day so I will post more later!

looks amazing... i can't believe (i think it was the jamaica stop) where you got to do SO much and have all you can eat... way envious... i always sthough i'd never take kids on a cruise, but if there's a cool kids program and fun things like waterslides, etc... it sounds like a blast!
