Devin The Comedian




First Formal Night





We like to take pictures with our camera instead of buying pictures from the ship. It saves a lot of money.

Christmas In Cozumel



Throwing Up




Tuna and Barracuda




Cozumel, Mexico





When we got to Cozumel we got off the ship and set up our own excursion. The guys wanted to go fishing really bad, so we sent Brett to talk to the Mexicans. We were able to get a boat for $350.00 for all of us. So we went fishing in the ocean. It was so fun!!! We caught 5 tuna and 5 barracuda. Then Cal hooked onto a blue marlin. It was about 8 feet long and 250 pounds. It was so fun watching him bring it in. As he brought it half way in, it jumped out of the water and the hook come out. That was so sad. While we were fishing, four of us kept throwing up. It was so funny. Brittany was on one side then Dustin joined her. The wind caught her throw up and covered the front of Dustin's shirt. We were all laughing. Then it was Brett's turn. The wind caught his and it went in his hair. It was so funny. Then it was my turn, I didn't get it on me just covered the side of the boat. We had so much fun and we will never forget this fishing trip.

Sunset Leaving Miami Florida


It's Time To Cruise!!!




It's finally here. We arrived into Miami a day early so that we made sure we got onto the ship alright. Miami was like Mexico. Everyone was speaking spanish. We went to a grocery store to find some candy and everything was in spanish also. Good thing we had Brittany and Brett for our translators. We found a Burger King for dinner. It was Friday and they had free fries that day so Dustin ended up with 6 order of fries. He was in heaven. Ha ha. The Christmas lights were wrapped around palm trees it wasn't like home.

Thanksgiving Weekend
















We had so much fun up at the cabin! We had a great Thanksgiving dinner. Shauntae made the pies, yum!! We kept really busy duck hunting, fishing, and making crafts. While the guys went hunting Cal took us girls fishing. We caught 8 fish and we lost a lot. It was like old times when all of the poles had fish on them at the same time. Poor Cal couldn't keep up putting worms on for us. It did warm up to 18 degrees, thank goodness for car heaters. We made a star craft to hang on our front doors for Christmas and we even finished them. The next day we went up in the mountains and we cut down Christmas trees. Everyone found real pretty ones. Our tree that we cut down this year was 12 feet. I love the smell of a real tree in the house. It was so fun being with the whole family, I wish the weekend didn't go so fast.
