Remember when we went on Spring Break?

It's snowing outside.  It's May 19.  Even by Wyoming standards, this is a little insane.  So let's finish looking at pictures from a time when it was hot outside, we were all wearing shorts and swimming suits and it was lovely.

When we left off on the giant vacation photo overload of 2015,  we were getting ready to board the cruise ship.  So here we are! 

We'd been on the boat for about 30 minutes before the kids were in their swimming suits and splashing around in the pool. 
On the second day of the cruise, we docked at a island in the Bahamas.  Will discovered the joy that is a hammock.  He would've stayed here all day if he hadn't noticed the ocean just ahead. 
My little beach babe.

And my beach boy.
One of the highlights of the trip was a glass bottomed boat tour that we took while we were visiting the island.  We had a great tour guide he sent some divers into the water to bring back all sorts of sea creatures for us to see up close.  The water is amazingly clear in the Caribbean and we saw more fish than we could count, a few stingrays, some nurse sharks, and one really cool turtle.

These kiddos are interested in just about everything that lives in the ocean.

Glenn stole the camera for a while to take pictures of birds.  That can be it's own blog post someday.  Glenn's sea birds.

Our ship in the distance.

Back on board, we had dinner with the grandparents each night in a very pretty dining room.  Will dressed up for the occasion... ha ha.


I brushed Reina's hair, really! 
On the third day of the cruise, we docked in Nassau and made our way to a pirate museum for our first stop.  I love Reina's pirate expression here - she nailed it! 
A whole family of pirates!

Wow - there's even a Mom Pirate! 
The grandparents and the kiddos talking about life on the sea.

A pretty little square in the middle of downtown.  This was right before lunch and two of the three of us were ready to head back to the ship. 
Nighttime on the ship and a pretty sunset.
My two favorite guys and another sunset in the background.

Siblings back on land. 
 So there you go.  A great week of family, sun and exotic locations.  The kiddos still talk about their cruise and everything we saw.  They are good little travelers.  Summer is just around the corner (supposedly) and I can't wait to see what our next adventure will be.
