Wow...it has been a LONG time since I have updated our family blog!  But I am back and full of updates.  Maddie and Ethan just finished up school and we have started a great Summer full of fun plans.  The kick off to Summer was our cruise to Mexico.  Super fun for the family with tons to do for everyone.

First off Mimi and Papa came to Long Beach to send us off on our cruise ship.  It was nice to see them. Papa it doing much better these day and it was good to see him doing well.  Hopefully they will join us on our next cruise adventure!

Here are some pics from the trip...

Waiting in line to get on the ship...not the most fun part of the trip but since we were excited the time went by pretty quickly.

Here we just got off the ship in Puerto Vallarta and we are waiting to go to Las Caletas - a private beach!  That was awesome. Ethan went zip lining there and Maddie snorkeled forever.

One of our dinners in the dining room.

On the beach in Cabo San Lucas. 

Isn't this the cutest pic ever? Yes, this is a real sea lion.

Me and Mad - Queen of karaoke...who knew she could sing Rolling in the Deep just like Adele?

Yes, they fought over the stupid towel animals!  We had to tip the steward extra to make sure he made 2 every night!

More updates coming soon!  We have lots of visitors and more fun adventures this Summer!!!
