I finally got our family picture from the cruise so... here is everyone that went.

Utah
We all drove up to Utah and went to a wedding brunch for my friend Jessie. Sam and I stayed and Taylor drove home, and ever since we got here Sam has been on this toy horse pretty much all the time.



since we were in Logan we had to try the famous Aggie ice cream, and it was delicoius!

The Park

We went to the park for a picnic the other day...
and I got Sam to say cheese for the camera

but I think he got sick of saying cheese pretty quick :)
Then we got to watch a tree being cut down right next to us!

Cabo San Lucas
We rode a ferry to the beach
The kids loved playing on the rocks
Divorce beach: You can't really tell but on the Pacific side of the pennisula the waves break and crash right on the beach and then there is a super powerful current that will suck you out to sea. Just a few days previous to our trip an older couple died that very way. So, there were signs everywhere saying, "No Swimming" At that far rock there is a cool arch and cace, but they won't let you walk to it cause it's too dangerous.

We crossed to the other side to Lovers beach where the water is calm and perfect for swimming and snorkeling

My dad packed the inflatable kyak and all the men kyaked out to that neat arch aand cave on the safe side.
Sam is so refined!
We loved the unique dishes, like the pumkin curry soup.

They had a thetre where we watched the dancing, singing, comedians, and other entertainment
We had a blast at the pool
Our favorite was lettting the water pull you back and forth as the ship rocked causing all the water to swish around







The spaccious hall we walked through everyday to get to our stateroom
Sam loved the fancy meals especially since he could eat all the bananas he wanted! He also loved playing with his cousins during meals.






This was our last fancy breakfast before we disembarked.

He cracks me up!

I was browsing through pictures in an attempt to do a post on our cruise, which will take a while since we have pretty much a BILLION pictures, and I came across this one and it made me laugh so I thought I would share.

So this year I tried my hand at making some Easter egg- cake balls :) It was my first time making them and it didn't really turned out how I planned. First of all I made them way too big, and decorating them turned into a mess of frosting! Needless to say they were delicious!

Sam loved getting a basket full of candy and toys on Easter morning!

Saturday, we went to David and Mary Ellen's for the Horspool Hunt. We all had fun hunting for eggs and pigging out on candy!

Once Sam figured out how to open the eggs he was done hunting

The cousins had so much fun playing together!

After the Hunt we all packed up and went to The Crab Cooker for dinner!
