Birthday Cruise January 2017


 In January 2017 we went on a cruise with Angela Mayfield and her family, plus Brandy's parents (Grandma and Grandpa Biggs).  It was a blast!!

Watching the cruise ship pull away from California!



The kids loved being on the Cruise ship!

 The crazy kids went swimming in the freezing water.





 
They played minerature golf!




The adults (and Michael) went to a rock concert one night.  He seemed to really enjoy it.  (he was smiling on the inside, I'm sure!)  The younger kids went to the kids club on the ship.  They had a fun time there too.

After the concert there was a guess that song game and nearly the whole ship was involved it turned into a big sing along to popular songs.  It was so much fun!!






 
Ahem, we were too cheap to buy the pictures...



 First stop Catalina Island!

The only thing I (Brandy) wanted to do was to rent a golf cart and explore the island.  I knew it wasn't the most exciting thing to do but I knew the kids would love it.  AND THEY DID!!





We played on the beach. 

They found lots of "treasures" and threw a lot of rocks into the ocean.

Grandpa Biggs bought tickets for everyone to go on a submarine excursion.  After playing on the beach for awhile it was time to get on the submarine! The kids were all so excited, including the adult sized kids!












 

Second Stop Ensenada, Mexico!
Unfortunately the kids were all sick this day so we weren't able to take them with us off the ship.  We watched Angela's kids while they went ashore and then they watched our kids while we went ashore.

We bought a lot of souvenirs for the kids


On the bus back to the ship.

Good bye Mexico!

 Happy birthday to Brandy!!
It looked so pretty!  It's unfortunate that it was the worst gluten free cake I have ever had in my entire life!! 

 While waiting to get off the ship we let the kids play games.



Back in California we went to the beach one night.  So cold but so much fun!
