Disney cruise, part 1

december 22nd, we flew from denver to orlando

 
a little excited

 
my mom and dad took all 17 of us on a disney cruise for Christmas.  i think you'll be able to see that it was a magical, once-in-a-lifetime, spectacular vacation

 
here come the johnstons (and rayners)!

 
dec 23rd

 
all aboard!

 
these two.  awesome.  

 
bon voyage!

 
some shots around the ship

 
all 17 of us ate dinner together each night.  can you see the mess on that happy princess's face?  mickey mouse ice cream bar for dessert




 
we love belle



and pluto!

 
Christmas Eve morning.  

we docked in nassau in the bahamas

 
we spent the day at the water park in the Atlantis resort.  not too shabby!

 

 
all the big kids were having a blast on all the big scary water slides.  

 
thanks to abbi and pops, pat and i got to brave the other parts of the park, too.  abbi was glad later that i made her go do the wave river with me.  8-)


MERRY CHRISTMAS
