Mexico

Our final stop. This has been a very busy cruise with all the different stops. We have never done a cruise with four stops and we might not again because it felt too busy, but we were very happy with every stop. This was not our most favorite stop. We were in Cozumel Mexico.

We stopped to do some exploring along the shore.

Finding some caves in the rocks.

This was a fun day because we rented two jeeps and did some exploring and a little off roding around the island.

We even stopped to hold a very large lizard.

They are a lot softer than they look.

We then stopped to spend some time on the beach. It was over cast and the water was pretty rough so we were there just long enough for Darien and Jamie to do some para sailing.

Darien has been asking since our last cruise to try para sailing and Uncle Tyler was supposed to take him but we didn't manage to find him before we left so it was up to daddy to take him. He was pretty pumped.

Up they go. The had a lot of fun.

Stick'em Up

I am not too sure how taste Keagan would be. :)

So very cute!!!

Our final dinner on the ship with the beautiful sunset. This was another amazing vacation. So blessed to have these girls in my life.

Belize

This was the start of a very exciting adventure. Really it was an adventure. This was our stop in Belize. We did this amazing tour of zip lining and cave tubing. It started with us leaving about 45 min. late and being on a sweet school bus for about an hour.
We arrived at our destination and it was smoking hot with a humidity of way to much. LOL

Then is was off to get suited up for zip lining. Rylan even got in on the action.

While we were on the zip lines Stefan got to hang out with Uncle Paul and Aunt Pat and he had a great time. These are two of his favorite people.

Here we are ready to go. Grandma Penni was a little nervous and I think Darien was too. Rylan jumped up there like there was nothing to it.

I was so proud of my mom. She really wanted to take this off of her bucket list and she did. This was no easy feat, the humidity and hiking was not easy and about half way through she was sure that she was done but she pushed through and made it all the way to the end. True inspiration. I am so proud of you mom. Love You.

Here they go!!!

Keagan doing his thing.

Rylan was told to no even try and slow down because he was so little or he would not make it to the other end, but he did great and never got stuck.

Grandma Hazel coming in.

The next part of our tour was to hike in and go cave tubing. The hike was a little intense and very tiring after all the hike that we just did. Thankfully we were able to stop and cool of in the river half way through.

Working hard caring our tubes. We couldn't wait to get in the water again.

Loading up on the tubes and breaking into groups. The water was pretty slow moving which was great for the kids. We had the most comfortable tubes with back rests and netting to stop you from falling through, the "Cadillacs" of tubes. LOL

Totally chilling.

Ready for their ride. They loved their head lamps.

Keagan chilling.

Exiting the cave. It was hard to take pictures inside the caves but it was amazing. There are so many myths and beliefs about the formations of the rocks. It was so neat to hear all the different stories.

This was such a fun adventure and we loved it. Our tour guides were amazing and had so much to share. The adventure didn't end there. We were on our way back to Belize to get on a tender to our ship, but we were very late getting back. We got back about 45 min after the last tender left thankfully the cruise ship hadn't left with out us. We couldn't believe that we had made it and thankfully they arranged for another boat for us we are also glad that we were with such a big group because had it only been a few of us we would have been left behind but because there was 40 of us they decided to wait. Thank goodness.

We all rushed to get ready for another formal night. It was pretty impressive that all the families managed to be ready within 30 min. of getting back and that included showering all the kids and adults and still looking pretty good if I do say so. LOL

Our handsome boys.

Stefan's yummy fruit that he had every dinner.

Keagan dancing with our waiter. It was so cute and he was so good with the kids. He did magic tricks for them almost every night and he was really good.

We were so happy with this picture. We decided to take one large group picture and how amazing is this. We have everyone looking and all the kids smiling. It is a miracle!!!! These are some of my most favorite people and I feel so blessed that we are all able to travel together and make wonderful memories.

Our family.

My beautiful family, even Stefan with his cheesy grin. LOL

The men/boys.

The women/girls. :)

Later that night after a fun filled evening of more comedy and a late night of parting for Rylan as he got to stay late at Camp Carnival for a party he was so excited to show Uncle Dave (who is a dentist) his loose tooth. Uncle Dave offered to pull it out for him and he did.

Rylan will always remember where he lost his first tooth. LOL

Roatan Island Honduras

This is by far our most favorite place to stop while on cruising. We were able to go here on our last adult only cruise and we loved it then and this time it was no different. Roatan Island Honduras is so amazingly beautiful. Being on this beach is so amazing. I loved every minute of it. Stefan and a friend of Jamie's from working playing in the water.
The of my life. Everyday I feel so thankful for all that we have together, he is my best friend and the man that I look forward to growing old with.

Posing for the camera. LOL Stud.

This is one place that I don't think I would ever get tired of going to. There is something so peaceful and beautiful. The water is amazingly clear with calm waves and the snorkeling is right off the beach. Amazing!!!

Me taking a picture of Aunt Pat taking a picture of me. LOL

Brothers. It is so awesome to see how close Jamie and his brother Tyler have become over the years. They are best friends now and have so much fun together.

Fun in the sand. I don't know how many sand castles and holes they dug but they had a great time doing it.

Me and my BFF's. These girls are great and we have so much fun together. We have been through a lot together and I trust them with all my little secrets. LOL Love You girls.

Rylan loves wearing his life jacket which is just fine with me, safety first. :)

Jamie and his twin. This is Mr. A from Jamie's work and it was so funny when they showed up with matching bathing suites and then the icing on the cake was when Mr. A was able to find a matching hat with Jamie's. Which one is which? LOL

There were so many underwater pictures to pick from. There were times when we wouldn't see the older boys for a while because they were out snorkeling for so long. It was awesome.

It was that great. Two thumbs up!!!

Don't know the kind but it is beautiful.

My diver. Darien doing his thing.

The view to the beach. This was an amazing day.
