Dancing!

We Vandys have mad dancing skills.  We did NOT inherit them from our parents, so they are just the result of a lot of practice. We had plenty of opportunity to both show off and add new moves on our trip!

I may have to admit that B is a little more adventurous in his dancing than I.  Not as wild as the girl in the background though.  She REALLY went for it!

I prefer to do more posing than speed movements.

Such as this move, which I call the DaVandy.

B even got into a little ribbon dancing.

La La La La La!

I call this one the TraVandy.

Walk Like a Vandyptian

B did have the move of the trip though.  In the middle of the stage, he just bent over and did a backflip!

Up and over!

Grandma and Bugga were shocked but we Vandys know this move well.  We don't normally do it on hard surfaces though!  We had a good laugh once we all knew he was okay.

Tough as nails Ma!

The Momparazzi loves her little dancin' fools :)

Scenes from the Disney Wonder

Here's a good picture of our enormous boat.  It was 9.5 stories high!

We love you Disney Wonder!

There were new things to discover around every corner.  Like this Bellagio like glass ceiling.

We loved climbing in, and peering out every window at the beautiful ocean.

It was a little bit difficult to keep me from jumping in to fight sharks, but Cole was content to just look out at the water.

This is Miami

I was NOT happy about not being able to put my "soup" right on and go swimming.

But we got to eventually.  The boat had a special place for kids to go when their parents wanted to relax.  We spent about 2 hours there TOTAL because I kept telling them to message my parents to come and get me!

I didn't want them to be having fun without me!

They did have a lot of fun activities for kids and an awesome area for us to play in. 

I just love my family, what can I say? 

Cole and I got along wonderfully.  Here we are in the anchor room on the Wonder.  There's a running track on the 4th deck that goes back here.  Mom was thrilled about that!

Anchor room.

Here's the track where Mom spent a couple of mornings.

Oh and yeah... there was a basketball court for Cole and Daddy.

Air Hockey and Ping Pong.  This part was on the Top Deck Forward.  We all got pretty sick after being up there for only a few minutes and had to take Dramamine.  Oh, except Cole who gets carsick almost every time we travel.  He was just fine.

Somebody stop my head from spinning!

They played Disney movies on the big screen while we swam.  It was heavenly!

Daddy and Bugga played shuffleboard.

And we had NO trouble napping everyday and falling asleep on our bunks each night.  We didn't exactly STAY in our bunks though.  This is where we usually wound up while Mom and Dad squeezed into the top and bottom bunks :)

There was a splash zone which I'm pretty sure was designed just for me. 

I owned that place.  I kept very busy filling and moving cups from one spot to another.

And there was a waterslide for Cole! 

Once Mom MADE him try it (she literally drug him up there), he couldn't get enough of it!

Hooray for mean Moms!

And every night, we got a towel animal in our room.  Guess what this one was?

I did enjoy some swimming too.  I wasn't hard to spot with my glow in the dark hair and skin :)  There were so many foreign people on the boat with beautiful dark features.  I did stand out quite a bit.  Not that I mind!

Another great window made even better with our cheesy mugs in it.

Hey Dad!  Can we get one of these?

This towel animal stole Mom's glasses right off the nightstand!

What fantastic Grandparents we have.  Thank you SO much for taking us on this adventure!

To the Boat!

Once again, Mom and Dad woke us at the crack of dawn for an adventure.  This time, we were 125% GAME!  3:30am?  No sweat when it means we're on our way to our Disney Cruise!  Here we are bright eyed with Grandma at the airport.

We got out just at the sleet and latest freezing cold snow storm hit.  See ya nasty Indiana winter!

Of course you know who B sat next to!

When we landed in Miami, we hopped on a bus.  A BUS!  We thought that was pretty cool and we even got a little reminder of our dear friends back home who were freezing their butts off while we enjoyed the warm Miami sunshine.

Jackets off.  Sunglasses ON!

We were all in great spirits and very excited to see our boat!

Whoa.  Mom caught the first glimpse.  It was ENORMOUS!

Off to the port and through customs to begin the onboarding process.

We waited in a LOT of lines.  Okay and it was pretty funny, but my pants fell down at one point!  Of course it happened on the day I was wearing my boxers with the red hearts on em!  Moooom!

All worth it though!  The big Mouse himself welcomed us aboard his boat.

Aye Aye Captain Mickey!

We could hardly wait to get on board!
