It's so nice to have a sun tan in April! We decided a while back to go on a cruise and it seemed so far away! Months go by, then the weeks start getting closer, and the week before I was sooo excited!! The day before I was feeling anxious about leaving Annabelle for 4 nights...but we did and it was sooo much fun! Annabelle stayed with Brock's parents and Loved it! She got to jump on the bed and eat peanut butter m&m's all week. Plus she always eats Brock's Mom's Cookin' no matter what it is! I think she looked a little plumper :). We missed her though, on the ship we'd see other babies and thought how much Annabelle would LOVE to play in the water! We first went to Catalina Island and got to do a Kyaking Excursion with J.P. He showed us all over and took us snorkeling. We saw a lot of bright orange fish that looked like giant gold fish, some little blue fish, a leopard shark, and a bottle nosed shark. When Brock went snorkeling the 2nd time he saw a giant crab, starfish, and lobster. We're hoping our underwater camera worked! It was my first time snorkeling, so it was kinda scary when you're swimming through kelp forests, not knowing what might swim out at you...especially since our guide told me that marine life are attracted to pregnant women, YIKES! But no worries I survived :). Our guide even brought his spear gun but didn't see anything to catch. 5 hours later we were about to die from exhaustion because we were in a hurry to get back on the ship before it left!

Next our Cruise stopped at Ensenada, Mexico. We took the tour to the Blow Hole. It was pretty cool, but the best part was the market you walk through that has all sorts of Mexican style dresses, shoes, etc. I love bartering as we did that alot in Ecuador so it was fun to use some spanish, its kind of like a game. We got Brock and Annabelle sandals, and I got a necklace. Love Shopping :)
