Disney Cruise Part 1

For our Christmas gift this year Morrills took the whole family (minus Christine who just had a baby and didn't want to bring him on the cruise) on a Disney Cruise of the Western Caribbean!!!  We have been SO looking forward to this trip and it was everything we expected and much much more.  I took quite a few pictures so I'll do a few posts.
 
We had to get up about 3:30am for our flight but the boys woke up so excited it didn't matter how early it was!  Here we are waiting to board...
On the plane, my boys are such seasoned travelers they could probably fly on the plane alone and be perfectly fine (in fact tonight in the shower I heard Jackson talking to himself "for safety reasons, please keep your baggage with you at all times"  Hahaha)...

We flew into Miami to meet up with everyone else who had flown in the night before from Utah and Oregon.  Here's all the cousins, my three and Jackie and Tyler's three...Cole, Kate, and Luke...
 Tyce and Kate were too cute together...
Boarding the ship proved to be a challenge because apparently the birth "certificate" that I've used for Tyce for the past four years is actually just a birth "record" from the hospital and is NOT proof of citizenship and they would not let him board.  It was a stressful couple of hours in which Tyce had to watch everyone else board the Mickey Mouse ship while he sat with mommy and daddy and waited.  He was a good sport and, after much stress and money, we were eventually able to get one faxed to the cruise office.  AH what a relief!!!

We dropped our stuff off at our rooms and headed to the deck for lunch outside! 
 Foosball...
Words cannot express how excited Tyce was to see Mickey Mouse.  If you know him at all you know he is OBSESSED with Mickey and all his clubhouse friends so this was just paradise for Tycee.  Here he is the first night with Mickey...

Goodbye Miami!  We're off to set sail around the Caribbean!  Yes I took this picture and no I didn't edit it and no I'm not a photographer...but it turned out pretty didn't it?!
Josh lost a tooth one night at dinner, he wrote the tooth fairy a note telling her it was ok to explore the ship before she dropped off his money, haha too cute..

Tyce, Jackson, and Cole seeing Jake from Jake and the Neverland Pirates for the first time...



The boys LOVED the towel animals the maid would leave in our room every night, this night was a dog...
Tyce was giddy with excitement to see Pluto...

Waiting in line with daddy to see Chip and Dale...

The obligatory, look I'm laying out at the pool and here are my toes picture...

The weather was perfect the entire trip...mid 80s, slight breeze, super sunny...GORGEOUS!!!  Apparently the week before us it rained and next week it is supposed to rain so we got LUCKY!!

More pics to come!!!
