Disney Cruise Day 7

Man, reality was starting to settle in.  We were on our way home and it was cold outside.   Boo!  This morning we played 'The Ultimate Race' where we had to run around the ship and find things they gave us clues to...like the Amazing Race (which I've never watched but we enjoyed playing the game).

We did get lots of character pictures today though since we weren't swimming and not much else was going on.  Preston & I went to do different things at the same time to try to be able to catch the characters and we messed up because he waited in the Mickey line but gave up on us and we caught Mickey at the very last chance we could.  So only the 3 of them because the Dad & Drew were somewhere else.  :(

We hadn't even seen Donald until today.  

He made us pose saying #1.

Donald is sad because Drew (on the very left of he picture) started crying when he tried to shake his hand.

Zack...I just love how excited he was to see all the characters.  Goofy was really excited to see himself on Aydon's sweatshirt.  :)

After lunch and pictures with characters we went to a 'Generation Game'.  There were not very many people there so alot of the family was involved in this game.  Granny got chosen to sing.  She along with those other "old" people had to rap "Happy birthday"  while the "young" generation had to do it opera style.  

Granny did great thanks to listening to her sons music all those years!  :)

Of course I would get chosen for dancing.  

Preston & Aydon were chosen for the physical challenge.  Aydon was so excited because he was thinking push-ups, sit-ups...stuff along that line.  

He hates me for putting this picture up...him holding hands with 5 girls!  It was Aydon's group vs. Preston's group in passing a hula hoop up and down the line holding hands.  Aydon's group beat the "old" group twice!  

The boys were checking out the sunset.

Not the best...but me & the boys.

We hadn't seen Daisy so we made sure to get a picture with her tonight.  Zack Attack kept telling us, "Daisy kissed me!"  The way he said it just cracks us up!

I asked the boys what some of their favorite things about our trip was.  

Ty's was the pizza, of course.  

Him & this guy were good friends.  He knew Ty by the 2nd or 3rd day!

On the last night, after our show, we got out to watch the sunset again.  

A nice group shot on the last night as the sun was setting.  

Our last towel was a snake.

We all had a blast, loved the weather, the food, the shows & the time spent together as a family with no chores.  This is one of those vacations that we'll always remember and love!

Disney Cruise Day 6

We took advantage of much less crowded pools again this morning before we headed back into Cabo San Lucas.  

Drew had not slept well the last couple of nights.  Both he and Aydon had fevers & a bad cough that kept them up.  Poor baby was tired.  

We were anchored away from the pier and so this was the view of how far we had to ride the tender over to the pier.  We went on a glass bottom boat to check out the landmarks of Cabo San Lucas.  

Pelican Rock

This is where we could see the fish from the glass bottom.  There were tons and they were pretty.

Old Pirate Cave. 

Lover's Beach

A rock that is similar to the shape of the Baja.

The Pacific window.  It gets it's name because that's where the waters from the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Cortez mix.

The famous Arch.

A closer view.  Preston was disappointed because in pictures we'd seen of Cabo you could walk on the beach underneath it but our boat driver said that picture is about 5 years old.  

What he called Scobby Doo rock.  

The boys were excited to see an upclose look of the sea lions.  When we were leaving they started barking so loud...the boys loved it.  

Land's End

Another pirate cave close to the arch.

Drew had a blast if you can't tell.  

Zack wanted to be buried...but only his legs.  

We walked over to check out the pirate cave and right before we got into it a couple said you don't want to go in there.  I guess people use it as a restroom & there are broken beer bottles everywhere.  The boys were very disappointed.

The nice couple offered to take a family picture of us though.  She took pictures just like me too...one zoom, one further out, one with glasses, one without glasses, & zooming again.  :)  

Love this picture of Drew that shows him letting the sand fall through his hands.  He was so very tired at this point.

Ty & Zack spent the majority of their time jumping over the waves.  

It was torture for him to be pulled away from the ocean to take a picture for me.  He was having so much fun.

Divorce Beach...right across from Lover's Beach.  Divorce beach was on the Pacific side and I guess the waters are really rough so there is no swimming allowed.  This is as close as we got.

I've never seen Ty having so much fun by himself just playing in the water.  

They were trying to catch crabs on the rocks where the waves would come up close to them every now and again.

This was supposedly Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie's Yacht right there at the pier.  Very nice whether it was or not.

It was semi-formal night tonight so we dressed up this time.  

With our show time & dinner time's set for us we kept missing the sunset but we caught a glimpse of it tonight!

Amazingly the line for Mickey was short...less than 5 minutes!  

Drew finally started getting a little more brave and would high 5 them towards the end of the trip.  

Mickey & Zack look like they're best friends.  :)

Gary & Vickey with Mickey Mouse

Gary wanted a picture of them kissing since they were celebrating their anniversary that week.  Aww.

Our best shot of a sunset out on the ocean!

Then it was our turn!  Ooo La La!

At our evening show.

The boys had been dying to sit in the front row so we did!  This evening's show was really good!  It had bubbles come down on us when it showed the Little Mermaid scenes, snowed on us during Beauty and the Beast scenes.  With the close seats we had it kept Drew's attention so it was wonderful!  After the show we went to a Magician.  Poor Aydon had a horrible ear ache so we medicated him and he watched the show lying down because he loves magic and did not want to miss it.  

Then we were back to the same routine...boys falling asleep at dinner.

Drew was not feeling well and was super grouchy during dinner...Daddy was teasing him in this picture.  

A rose...Preston really liked this one.
