Yeah Disney time again!


 the face says it all!

 Abigail was a different kid traveling this time around....sitting with my ipod chilling out to her music,  she is growing up so fast!!
 this was the edited view,  I got a picture of her when she faced the other way, didn't post that on my blog :)  She got pretty bored waiting on our turn to board the boat

 Yeah!  We were off!

 I love how many times I saw this face!  Can't put a price on that!!

 Don't worry, we are not a bunch of heavy boozers, but we did enjoy our first Bahama  mamma to kick off the beginning of a wonderful vacation with our very dear friends!

 Our favorite party in the world is Disney's Sail Away Party as we leave port!!!  This family gets wild!!

 Abigail drew some attention with her dance moves at the sail away party,  not sure how to handle that yet??  At least it was positive attention and lots of thumbs up from parents who noticed she didn't dance sloppy and wild like most kids, she whipped out a lot of cute moves from her classes.  Thank you DDC :)

 That's my sweet #2 rocking the front of the line of kids as close to the action as she could get!!


 Can't say enough good things about those kids club workers....love them!!!!

 Chloe and Cohen hanging out in Nemo's Reef for little ones

 one thing I love about Disney is people aren't afraid to touch you or your kids,  they hug, and grab them by the hand to show them something or take you to your seat. :)
 Brian being 'king of the world', 10 years married and he still can make me laugh like no one else!

 formal night
 had to show some of these pics,  Chloe and Goofy really did have a blast all week





 pirate night....ahhrrrrrrrrg!!
 The favored and most delicious adult only deck


 The girls running wild on deck 4,  another one of my favorites.  I realize why I love it so much, it's like a massive open front porch like I grew up on.  Only difference it's not looking at mountains it's the beautiful ocean !

 I tried to ask the Bit to strike a normal child pose and she would pout, so I gave in and let her do this instead all week.  What are you going to do?!  She is who she is!

 Ya hay no way!!!  everyone enjoyed getting their pirate on this night!!

 the only cruise line that does fireworks at sea,  so awesome!!!
 The little buccaneer didn't make it to see the fireworks,  too late for Mr. Cohen.

No idea where she found the energy at close to midnight before they started the pounding dance music and lit the deck after the show, but she did and had a blast!
 Sweet and I must say handsome Peter Pan was walking around asking the kids if they had ever heard of him, so funny!


 yeah!  her buddy!
 Forget golf,  Abigail found the club was much more fun to dance with!   So typical!

 
Oddly she wasn't as into my traditional silly hat picture on vacation as she's been in years past!!  he he he!  But I almost enjoyed it more now :)


 Whhoooop whooop!



 A slow and grumpy start following her nap, but I let her sit outside (closely supervised trust me!) and gave her chocolate
 Turtle talk with Crush at dinner was a life saver to keep the kids happy this night
 I only posted 1 but Mr. Brian and Mr. Ryan did a great job of ordering more then one of every entree  and desert all week.  Man did those dads eat!!!!  They look so cute w/ their Mickey Mouse matching Happy Anniversary buttons on their lanyards :)


 I can't tell you what she did to make me laugh like that,  never a dull moment with this woman!!!  Love her!

 "Heyyyyyyy Hey Baby,  I wanna know ooow oow,  if you'll be my girl!!!"



We just got home from an amazing week with our favorite masters of family vacation that is Disney.   We celebrated our 10 year wedding anniversary on the new ship the Disney Dream.  It was a blast of a time and even more so that we got to go with our friends Alisa and Ryan and little Cohen.  It was their 10 yr anniversary last year but they didn't go anywhere so they decided to join us on the celebration cruise.   It was such a good trip and the girls had a blast getting to do the kids club together for the first time.  Chloe made the cut off by 2 weeks to get to enjoy it and the new ship combines all ages in the club so they could be together and independent as they wanted to.  Cohen even got into the fun which was good for him who usually  hates to be away from his mom, by the end of the week he went in happy and didn't look back.  Even if we did have to start calling it VBS to get him excited.  Alisa was ecstatic to get some time w/ Ryan alone.  And we were too.  In true Brian fashion, he had done his homework on the ship and found us a wonderful deck just for adults to hang out on that not many people knew about.  We often had it mostly to ourselves.   It was a great balance of couple time and kids time.   Chloe even made me tear up a time or 2 over her big gut laugh when she would see Mickey Mouse and scream in delight.  Her and Goofy hit it off and obviously the person behind the costume remained consistent since more than once Goofy found her and started their ongoing tickle fight again followed by sweet hugs.  She ate it up!   Abigail rocked the dance parties (of course) and her little sister did her share to take over the dance floor and show no fear in grabbing a cast members hands to get their groove on.  Chloe reminded me so much of Abigail when she was 2 on the cruise and just lit up when the music and those characters started dancing.   I didn't think we could make another one. :)   Our girls love a party and Disney throws some great ones for families.  We made some great memories and of course I got tons of pictures to remember it all with.  So thankful to get another wonderful family vacation in our memory banks.  God is so good to us!
