Huntsman Family CRUISE!!!

YES!!!! We finally got to go on a cruise and we had a blast!!! I'll be honest when I say that next time I would love to see what a cruise is like without kids, but we really did have a great time. Thanks to Brandon's parents who took the entire family on a Western Caribbean cruise on the Carnival Legend. There were 18 of us total and it was so much fun. The kids had an absolute blast with all of their cousins all week and the adults even had some time to relax too.

Farewell Tampa!!!! Caribbean here we come!!!!

Brooklyn and Brynn even saw a few dolphins while we sailing off!

We really had a lot of family together time with 5 of us in our cabin!!!

I can have ice cream anytime I want???? Ryder was a little bit of a pain, but I was expecting that from our opinionated 2 year old. He hated the kids club, which about drove Brandon crazy, but at least he loved the ice cream!!!!

We even got our groove on in the sweet dance club. This is before it gets late and all of the drunks and crazies (plus Nick and Tara) hang out there.

The kids loved to come into our room each night and see what towel animals were waiting for us.

Unfortunately, there were some tropical storms so our itinerary was changed. We didn't get to see Belize, Roatan, or Cozumel, which was a bummer, but at least we had plenty of ship time to hang out by the pool.

We made the best of our "fun days at sea." The kids loved the pool, water slide, and all the fun kids club activities.

Larry even surprised and entertained us all by entering the hairy chest contest. He showed us all that he has still got some sweet moves!!!!

Grand Cayman was our first stop and it was amazing.

Most of us took a boat out to Stingray City to pet the sting rays and then do some snorkeling.

Brynn loved touching, holding and even kissing the stingrays. She even tried snorkeling and did pretty good.

Brooklyn wasn't too excited about touching the stingrays or snorkeling, but she sure looked great on the boat!

Even though there were supposedly storms out there somewhere, we had great weather the entire time and went through loads of sunscreen.

After the tour, we were able to spend a little time at 7-mile beach. The waves were huge and everyone had fun playing in them.


Okay except for Ryder....he wasn't really loving the giant waves.

Brooklyn was all smiles. It took me days to get all of the sand out of her swimsuit and hair.

Next stop, Ocho Rios Jamaica, man!!!

We took a little taxi tour, and drove through the rain forest.
We stopped at a cool little beach and then did some shopping.




We had plenty of photo shoot time each night at dinner, and speaking of dinner....


WOW! The food really was amazing. I ordered lobster and a lot of exciting things that Brandon would never eat if his life depended on it. I understand now why people gain 10 lbs on a cruise.

There were 2 formal nights on the cruise and we did our best to dress up this wild bunch!


Seriously? These two are such dorks together and it was really funny how many people kept asking if they were twins. I know they look like brothers, but twins???? I just don't see it.

Thanks grandma and grandpa for making this whole trip possible. We love you!!!!

The ladies all dressed up looking fabulous!

The entire Huntsman clan minus Brandon, Greg, and Jeremy, who were all taking the picture. Does it really take 3 guys to take one picture? Oh well, its almost the whole group!!!!! Thanks everyone for some great memories!!!!
