The CRUISE

 For about nine months we have been looking forward to our Disney Cruise.  Every few days Josh has come to me and said, "how much longer til we go on our cruise?"  To which I told him to be patient and let him know how many months away it still was!  But our day finally arrived!  We could hardly contain our excitement as we pulled into the Los Angeles Harbor and were greeted by this boat.  The DISNEY WONDER.  It became our home for a week.  The kids LOVED it.  I would highly recommend this cruise to anyone.  We had a blast with our Chugg Family cousins.  All were in attendance except for Jason's family.  Jason is deployed and Heather is very pregnant. 

 Happy Kids at Breakfast.....

 Hanna and cousin Ellie were inseperable the entire week. 

Donuts for breakfast anyone?   How about two....or three....french toast?  Pancakes, oatmeal, eggs, cereal, Whatever your heart desires!  Jake loved to eat the donuts (see crumbs on face) and the french toast! 

 STAY CLASSY boys!

This dining room was one of our favorites all week.  It was called the animators palette.  It was done in all black in white and had screens all around the room .  Then half way through dinner it the screens and pictures turned to color.  There were tall paint brushes as columns everywhere.  It was really a fun place to dine.  As for what was on the menu:  For the kids always pizza or mac n cheese.  I don't think Josh ever complained about food the entire week since he ate cheese pizza, mac n cheese, chicken nuggets, fries, and ice-cream all week.  Don't judge.  We were on vacation.....vacation from trying to get him to eat healthy dinners. 

 Lovely.  I think that our kids put the 'formal' in formal night. 

 We were greeted by these cute towel animals every night and 4 chocolates which Cole ate all of each night.  Every time we would walk in the room he would ask for Chocolate?  We had to explain that it only came at bedtime with the turn down service! 

Our Second day at sea we had to wake up super early for our character breakfast.  It was early, but worth it!

 We swam all afternoon and met some character friends on the deck!  oh yeah and ate pizza, hot dogs, burgers, chicken fingers, panini sandwiches, wraps fruit and ice-cream all poolside!!
