April 2012 - Vacation

I am way behind on family blogging.

No promises, but I am going to TRY to catch up.

I'll work my way backwards.

Last month we went on a cruise to celebrate Joel's 40th birthday.

But let's start at the beginning. 

We drove for two days to get to here... 

We got on our ship in New Orleans.

And even after beautiful New Orleans, there were still a lot of amazing things to see on the ship.

The kids had a room with four bunk beds and Joel and I were right across the hallway.

We went swimming with dolphins in Mexico.

This was SO much fun.
We fed them.

We posed for pictures with them.

We learned lots of interesting things about dolphins from the trainer.

The dolphins were very affectionate.

Joel was very affectionate too!

Back on the cruise, we hung out...

...goofed around...

...and got dressed up for some fancy dinners.

We had so much fun.

Kids are already planning the next cruise.

It's Prom Time.

Daniel asked Sarah to the prom in a very unique way.

He did a card trick for her.

It meant a lot to him when she said she would be his date.

The  boutonniere pinning...or the moment they are both praying for a safe pinning.

Daniel was thrilled that she liked her flowers.
What a sweet girl.

The prom crew was a group of five couples.

We got a few fun shots before they all headed off for dinner and the dance.

The Pre-Prom Tebow

Daniel came home very happy and very tired. There was a Post Prom party at the YMCA and then movies at a friends house. Unfortunately for Daniel, he also had a long day of work ahead of him on Sunday. But he said that every dime and being exhausted on Sunday was worth it and he can't wait for next year.
