#houghtalinggirls

I am so behind in just our every day pictures!! 

Which is obvious by the way we are dressed for some of these! HA!

Enjoying an evening rain in very different styles

We signed up to receive SnackCrate. It's a monthly shipment of snacks from all over the world. So far we've had Canada, London, and Japan. It's so fun!

FYI...this is Addy. :)

Last year Ava's soccer coach (me) called games when it rained. Ava's soccer coach this year? Not so much. 

Towel Animals!

To wrap up our cruise vacation, one of our most favorite parts of the vacation is the daily towel animals left in our room! 

The girls were so excited to come back to the room every day to see what animal was left. 

We had an absolute wonderful vacation. We may have created little cruise monsters though. Ava asked how long until she is gold status! 

Dr Seuss Character Breakfast

Our last day on the ship was a day at sea. So we decided to book the character breakfast for the girls! A little green eggs and ham and Dr. Seuss characters made for a great time! Also as an organized party planner, I LOVED the decorations!

Such a fun time!!

Freeport, Bahamas

Our last island stop was Freeport, Bahamas. We had never been before and heard many negative things about this port. So we decided to book an excursion to surprise the girls. They had no idea! We had to wake up bright and early for this one which made for two crabby girls. 

They were super excited to find out we were swimming with dolphins!!

Therefore the crabby girls were super HAPPY girls! We had an encounter which means we learned quite a bit and got to take pictures with them!!

After we got our pictures taken we were able to play catch and watch them do tricks! 

We took our shuttle back to the ship and came back to the shopping and eating area. We decided to have a little lunch off the ship and eat at Señor Frogs! Amazing nachos and drinks!

Freeport was an awesome port for the Houghtaling's! We give it two thumbs up! 

Half Moon Cay

Our second island visit was Half Moon Cay, Bahamas. This is hands down the absolute most beautiful beach I have seen. The water was so blue and the sand was like powder. We could walk out so far and could still touch. This is a private island owned by Carnival so they had a buffet lunch that was included and little shops. It was awesome! There isn't many pictures because we pretty much spent our entire time in the water. 

We did have some rain move in but it worked well with timing because it was right at lunch time! It rained the entire we were eating and then it was gorgeous the rest of the day. 

We had a wonderful time!
