| We spent our Thanksgiving with the Smith family on a cruise. We had been planning this for quite awhile and the kids were so excited to go. We met everyone on the cruise ship in Los Angeles and the party began! The kids were in heaven with all the drinks, pina colodas & milkshakes you wanted. Of course the first place we went was to the buffet to start eating! |
 |
| Here we are getting ready to leave the port! |
 |
| We had to get a picture of us in our life preservers! |
 |
| The first night we all had to sit at different tables until they found a place for our large group. After the first night they found a place for the 27 of us to sit in the same area with all the kids at tables and the adults at one table. We had a great time each night visiting & eating. I think we ordered at least one of everything if not more off the menu. |
 | |
| Our first stop was Ensenada, Mexico |
 |
| We took a bus out to an area where they had a little shopping district and La Bufadora. Which is a famous blowhole, but we arrived at low tide so not much was happening. |
 |
| One of our formal nights |
 |
| We spent two days in Cabo San Lucas. This is us being tendered over by boats. We got off the boat and hired a couple little boats to take us over to Lover's Beach. |
 |
| Jack went out and tried to snorkel but the water was pretty rough where we were from all the crazy boats that kept coming in and out of the area. |
 |
| The second day in Cabo we hired another little boat to take us over to a beach called the Office. We spent a couple hours just laying on the beach. The kids had a blast buying stuff from the vendors that would walk by with there items for sell. Jack learned real fast that you bargain with them and they will go down in price. He bought quite a bit for his $10! |
 |
| After a couple hours on the beach Alan and his boys and our family decided to go and para sail. It was so fun to watch all the kids get to go up. It is definitely something they will never forget. |
 |
| This was a guy that would stand and just pose as people were walking by. He waved Heidi over and handed her his gun so she could get a picture with him. |
 |
| I think the kids were a little scared of him! |
 |
| Shopping in the market for our souvenirs |
 |
| All the grand kids goofing off on deck one night. They all bought ponchos for their souvenirs and they needed them the last few days of our cruise. It turned very cold and rainy for Thanksgiving Day |
 |
| Thanksgiving Day |
 |
| We had a great week with our family and with all the cousins. Even though some of the kids got a little sick and spent some time in the cabin we all had a great time making memories that will last forever. |
