SURPRISE Cruise 2016!!!

Thursday Jan 7th Puerta Vallarta
Today we booked a pirate ship boat that was geared toward kids. It really was a great day. We actually got to the boat right as it was sailing away! WHOOPS! So they took us out on a little boat and we were able to get on. When we got there we went down in the bottom for breakfast. They were basically putting on a show the whole time. They picked Koen to be a part of their little play. I didn’t realize he was the only one they picked. It was really cute and he ate it right up!





After maybe an 1 ½ boat ride we got to the beach. It was a beautiful little beach, but the surf was pretty darn rough. It gave me a little anxiety. There were some pretty strong currents and my kids are fearless.


They had a little treasure hunt on the beach. At the last clue there was a spot roped off with multiple holes to dig in. Lucky Brigs got the right pile! He was the treasure finder and nice little pirate chose to share his treasure. It was too funny that only 2 kids really got to participate and it happened to be both of mine. J


Back on the boat they fed us lunch and then played some fun games. They even brought Brigs up on stage in front of everyone and gave him a sweet bandanna for a reward. We did a little shopping in town when we returned. It really was such a fun time. We had to get pics of our kids with our Personal Pirates who served us all day! So great!



Friday Jan 8th at sea
We met up again for breakfast which we enjoyed doing on our see days. After that I took the kids to see Big Hero 6 in the theatre while Phil rested. We met Phil after for cupcake decorating where Koen thought he was pretty funny making his as gross as he could. The little girl next to us thought he was so dang funny but it wasn’t until after that we realized it was the comedian and her daughter sitting there with us. J

That night for dinner we did Cagneys again, I swear I could eat there every night, so dang good! We actually ran into someone walking there who was not only from Utah and Riverton but lives maybe 2 minutes from our house. Too crazy. Every night the kids fought over who got to sit by Brad at dinner.


The show that night was a combo of the dancers and the aerialists in Le Cirque Bijou. It was way awesome. We really enjoyed all the entertainment.

Saturday Jan 9th at sea
Another chill day on the boat, breakfast, the gym etc. It was a little too cold to be out and about at the pool but we found other stuff to do. The kids didn’t dig the kids camp, of course but we had fun playing Noah’s arkle (like farkle) and lots of uno. We hit Tepenyaki one last time and it was a lot better not having all the allergies and such to deal with. We had a good time at the goodbye show too that had a little of everyone.



Sunday Jan 10th heading home
The kids were sad to leave and we were all sad to go back to chilly weather. L Going somewhere warm in January is heavenly. I have a hard time with winter and cold so it is lovely to escape it for a bit! We had such a great time. We missed little miss Myla so much and are super grateful for my sis playing with her for the week! Hopefully next time she is big enough to come with!
