Hey everyone! Things have been going great here, other than the -40 degree weather with wind chill. We just got back from a cruise in the Western Carribean where we had a blast. We weeded through our pictures to show you some of the highlights. Anyway, we're wishing we were still laying on some warm beach with a light breeze blowing while sipping on some exotic fruit drink.

This is the Queen's Staircase. There is a step carved for each year of independance.

Our last port was supposed to be Great Stirrup Cay but because of a storm we went to Nassau, New Providence in the Bahamas instead. It was a beautiful place and home to the famous "Atlantis" resort. Jeff has dreamed of going there so it was an exciting surprise. The bridge between the two hotel towers is $25,000 a night with a minimum stay of ten nights. WHAT! So we're booked in there for April.

Our third port was Cozumel, Mexico. We went snorkeling here and it was beautiful. Taya fell asleep on the boat so Jeff and I got to go together. The water was crystal clear and you could see forever.

Our second port was Belize City, Belize. We just walked some shops on this day. It was nice though.

Our first port was Roatan, Honduras. It was a very beautiful island.

Jeff demonstrated snorkeling on the pool deck. I have to admit that the pink flippers are pretty attractive.

The guys; Ryan, Jeff, Nate, Jeff and Tate. The girls; Tanya, Taya, Nancy, LaDawn, Gail and Alena.



Taya's first airplane ride. We flew into Miami. It was beautiful.

Daddy and Austin went out and found some diamond willows to make some pretty neat walking sticks.

Jeff pretending to blow out his candles because by the time I turned around to take the picture he had already blown them out. Anyway, Happy 27th Daddy.
