Mexican Cruise with the Whole Jensen Family!

We started the trip by going to Disneyland. What a way to start a week of partying. It rained which could have been bad but it was wonderful because nobody like the rain and there were very little crowds. It was so much fun. We stayed all day and night.
Then it was off to the Carnival Cruise Ship. We were all so thankful for Grandma Cookie taking us on such a fabulous vacation.
On the ship their were fun things for everyone. The little ones loved dressing up, playing in the kids area, following all the older cousins around and just playing. Jacob always had a cute little shadow Luke. His little minnie me. The boys spent hours golfing, playing basketball, eating and sleeping. The girls spent hours laying out, sleeping and eating. Stephanie made it everyday to workout, but was alone quite a bit. The adults loved just relaxing more than anything and visiting with each other. Everyone played games some with Grandma.
Puarta Vallarta was tons of fun! We rode a charter bus to a local beach that had great waves for boogie boarding and surfing. Some of us had massages on the beaches that were amazing. We played in the sand and burried others in the sand. We then road back ont he bus through a cute little town and ate at Pepe's and played in a little play gorund. The boys were able to use their spanish and we were impressed they really could communicate. The Captain hit the dock so we ended up having to stay an extra day in Puarta Vallarta and never made it to Mazatlan.
It was GREAT! Cabo was the last stop, but definately not the least. We went on a water taxi out to Lover's Beach and the Arches, then around to Divorce Beach then got dropped off on Pelican Beach for some snorkeling. Their were a million fish and it was really neat. We had tons of fun then the boys and Kylie, the tough girl, went to play a fierce game of football. Then we went hiking over to Lover's Beach which was a fun adventure. After that we went into town and found delicious $1 tacos and shopped until we dropped.

This was a great trip and we had so much fun spending time with all the cousins!
