Vacation 2012 ~ Day Five

The last day of our vacation was just spent relaxing after our busy day at the park with the sea lions and manatees. I tried my best to soak in every moment with my own mommy person. I couldn't stand the thought that she would be driving home the next day and my hubby was set to go back to work. Vacation is never long enough, ever.

I only have a few little photos from here and there that last day. I wish we would have taken more.

At the coffe shop the lady made a sweet little rose with the straw paper. Elijah, my paper folder, thought that was the BEST!

Noey quickly took the coffee and declared it his own. He does this at home with all of my Starbucks. I love this photo of him looking up at my mom. He did this often throughout the trip. He really became attached to her. I so wish he could see her weekly.

We were waiting around for the last family comedy show and I had to have this snapshot of my men. :)
Photobucket

Remy had kisses from Nanna!
Photobucket

Here I am with my mommy and my big boys! I love this photo.
Photobucket

This next photo of my father and my middle boy still cracks me up. Remy loved to make icecream. He would make one for each of us each time he was allowed. Look at this "lovely" bowl he made my dad. Matthew and I laughed so hard. Remy's look was priceless.
Photobucket
This photo of Noey so happy with my daddy makes my heart smile.
Photobucket

The skies were always so pretty. I didn't know Matthew had taken this one until I was looking through them.
Photobucket

That last night we allowed each boy to pick a late night activity with their club onboard. Remy picked to go and make a bear.

Elijah picked to go and make a shirt. I still have the shirt he made when he was between 2-3 years old years ago on his first cruise. I was thrilled to keep that tradition alive for him. :) I need to dig that shirt out and show it to him, again.

The next day leaving my mother and father and driving home was hard. Noey kept asking where Nanna and Pawpaw was. Everywhere we stopped along the way he asked for them. :( Poor baby.
It was a much needed getaway. We were blessed to have that time together.

Vacation 2012 - Day 2!

The second day started out a little green...

Photobucket

Remy kept complaining of nausea...
I felt overheated and wiggly...
I gave him some meds and then we started upward in order to get to the top/middle of the ship. He threw-up on every single level. We were running up the stairs and dashing into every ladies room at the top of each floor. I dry heaved on one level. It was bad! At one point I thought I would pass out! I never was sick on our first cruise. What kills me...Matthew never got sick...he always gets motion sickness. CRAZY!
I got Remy to the top and started in on the homeopathics (nux vomica) because the traditional things were not working. The nux vomica worked so well!!!
Photobucket

Noey however didn't let a thing stop him from enjoying the breakfast buffet. ;)
Photobucket

Soon, I had Remy in a lounge chair on deck and he soaked up the sun, sipped some drinks, and came around. I will always believe in the power of Nux Vomica and water slides. ;)

Noey watched on and enjoyed people watching.

Thig guy was a little nervous to slide...so he swam for a while...
Photobucket

The boys loved it when the cruise director came over the loud speaker to proclaim we were in the middle of the Gulf of Mexico.
Photobucket

I will not tell you how many ice cream cones Noey Boos had. I refuse. I will say it was ALOT!

Elijah finally took the plunge! After that they never slowed down. They never swam. They just slid.

Now that Remy was better I could enjoy my relaxing time with my mommy!
Photobucket

Soon my Remy came to me exhausted from all that slipping and sliding and told me he was finally hungry. That kid put down some food after fasting all day.

Noey played dinos for a while...

Eli ate more food. He had a hearty breakfast, a snack, some ice cream, and then pizza when Remy was ready to eat. Cracks me up. Since he must watch his diet so closely at home because of his diabetes I give him a free eating pass on our vacations. Sometimes you have to shrug off the diabetes and live. Afterall, I am there watching and tending him so he doesn't have to think of it for a little while.

I adored dressing up with my whole family that night. It was nice to see everyone looking so pretty.
Mom and I.
Photobucket

I wubs her soooo much!
Photobucket

Noey was the star on our side of the dining room. The waiters adored him.
Photobucket

My dad cracks me up wearing his hat. Hee hee...
Photobucket
Kissy, kissy!
Photobucket

Mom even smooched on Remy. :)
Photobucket

Oh those Remy table manners!
Photobucket
Photobucket

My precious darling oldest.
Photobucket

My man and me!
Photobucket

Noey so enjoyed his meal.
Photobucket

The waiters sang us a little song.
Photobucket

The stairs, oh the stairs, Noey adored them. He even has his "cellphone" on this climb to the next activity.
Photobucket

Waiting for the family comedy show.
Photobucket

Mom and I trying to dance and entertain Noey before it started.
Photobucket

We came back to our room to find treats! The boys just loved them all. I do believe that Noey ate most of the chocolate before bed.
