Disney Cruise



April 23-29, 2007
Disney Cruise!! James’ parents organized a family reunion on a Disney Cruise that set sail out of Port Canaveral, Florida and went to Nassau and Castaway Cay. Hooray for Grandma and Grandpa Nuttall. They also funded the cruise for everyone as a Christmas gift and we can't thank them enough. When we finally got on the big boat, Isaac saw Aunt Julia and Uncle JoJo (Joseph) and he was beside himself with excitement. He really loves being around family.
When we explored the boat, Isaac discovered that he liked the view from the balconies, but when James wasn’t watching him, he managed to take off his shoes and huck his shoes off of the balcony, barely missing a very expensive chandelier.
Isaac loved the elevators and pushing the buttons to go up and down and all of the numbers.
We had fun swimming together and Isaac loved going in the hot tub and then making us get back into the cold water with him.
Levi nibbled on lots of new kinds of foods, but his favorite thing was mashing up banana bread with his cousin Mathew. Levi and Mathew look a lot alike.
Palos—One of the best parts of the cruise was getting all of the adults together (while we had the kids in childcare) and having dinner at an Italian restaurant on the boat called Palo. The food was amazing, but more than anything it was fun to just sit and talk to everyone without being interrupted by kids.
One of the highlights for Isaac was seeing fireworks on the boat. For the pirate party they did fireworks and Isaac thought that was really cool.
James and I went on a fun snorkeling trip on Tuesday morning. I got bitten by a coral shark, but I just lost my kneecap. Actually I just scraped my knee on some coral but it didn’t feel too spiffy.
Isaac, “How do you say “pick me up” in Spanish?”
Isaac is developing his own little sense of humor. He started saying “Lowe’s is orange” on the plane ride home to get a reaction from James (since Lowes is blue ofcourse) He was also doing it in Spanish and saying “Lowe’s es anaranjado”
The night we got home from the cruise Levi started pulling himself up by himself and standing.
