Bahamas!

Justin's work took us on another fantastic vacation! We really needed a break together with Justin's incredibly hectic schedule.
Justin got double diamond again, so we got to go a day early. We had a fantastic time in the Downtown Disney Village in Orlando, Florida. Here we are eating breakfast. Justin and I had chocolate milk in honor of schools wanting to ban it. I mean really, let's talk about the pizza and the chicken nuggets first!


We were missing Sophie, so we got a picture taken with her favorite character!
And her second favorite...
The Archibalds were great and came along with us. We ended up not planning very well, and we were all about 20 minutes late for the bus (we blame the bellhop).
There are benefits to being double diamond! Check out our huge room on the cruise ship!
And our private balcony!
Here is my 10 week pregnant shot! For those of you who may not know, it's twins! That is why I already look like this...
We love the towel animals...
On our day in the Bahamas, we went to a private island retreat. It was so relaxing!

At lunch, I decided to feed this little bird...
Then there was this big bird...

And then I got bombarded, but I was afraid to stop feeding them...

And then I rad out of food...
We found this ugly guy...
We had this beach all to ourselves.
We found lots of really great stuff. And yes I know I am uber white!
Our ship
The Bahamas! On our tour we saw lots of stars homes, including Chuck Norris's...

These hands were really creepy!
I love golfing on a ship!
We saw this far distant ship, and we had a joke going that it was a pirate ship coming to commandeer our vessel. We were pretty disappointed when we were wrong...
Gotta love lounging!
Justin's awards!
Here I am looking for sharks! I told Justin I saw a shark (kidding), and then I said, "Oh wait, it was just the crest of a wave." Minutes later Justin said he saw a shark (kidding), and then he said, "Oh wait, it was just the breast of a wave!" He misunderstood what I said, so we said that the rest of the time. Maybe you had to be there...
The view from our balcony!
After our 3 day trip, it was time to head home. The journey home was a long one! We got up and going at 4:30 Utah time and went to bed at 11:00 (after picking up Sophie). It was a long day!
When we got on the ship we were vip, so I had to get a picture by the sign on the way out! VIP is great, but I would never pay for it. Luckily, we didn't have to...
At the airport, we had about 4 hours to kill before our flight, so we took a ton of pictures by all the interesting things. Here are just a few of them...
We stayed in the Disney resort our first night.




The guy who took this picture asked us if we were on our honeymoon because we were acting so lovey and ridiculous! We had so much fun!
This is Woody the Woodpecker I found out. For some reason, I thought his name was Fudpucker. Don't ask me why I thought that. But I got made fun of the rest of the day!
We sat by this guy on the way back, and in honor of Tyler and Nicole who were supposed to go on the trip but couldn't make it, we took this picture with the biggest gator fan ever! I think he could even rival Tyler. Everything he was wearing was Gator except for his jeans. Even his shoes were Gator. As it turns out, he's even on the board of trustees. He was a great guy!
We missed you Tyler and Nicole!

The Simple Pleasures

Sophie definitely knows how to find pleasure in the simple things in life. She loves to wear her swimsuit (as you will see in this post and probably many others. Often we make her wear it beneath her clothes) and she loves to play with boxes. Most especially she loves to ride in boxes...
Don't you just love our home made rope...


By the way I had my hair cut short. I love how light it is and how easy it is to do!

When both Justin and I were literally too exhausted to pull any longer, Sophie started pulling her stuffed animals around. She loved it! I wish we would have let her do that way before; it would have saved us a lot of energy.
