Family reunion 2022

In December 2001 my Gran surprised us with a cruise to Ensenada Mexico for all of us. ( Mom, Dad, 6 kids and Gran). Fast forward to October 2021 and my parents surprised us with the same cruise for our family that had almost tripled in size to 24 to now include 11 grand kids and 5 in laws. One brother his wife and the 12th grandchild stayed home as the baby ( we did not know he was on the way when the cruise was booked) was to young to sail. So 22 of us spent the week on a cruise together doing the same excursions we did 20 years ago. Gran was definitely looking down smiling, watching the unforgettable memories made.

We Left on Saturday the 17th around noon. We parked at diamond parking and used their shuttle to get to the airport. Our Flight was supposed to leave at 2:45 but we got thru security and to our gate to find our flight was delayed 45 min. Due to The flight Crew getting delayed some where else. So we kept the kids entertained till the flight.

On the shuttle to the airport. We got Wendy's before goin to the parking to avoid buying food at the airport.

Waiting for the plane to start boarding.

Korbyn fell alseep the second he got seated on the flight the kids were all so excited they woke up early.

Erilyn got a few pictures of the clouds thru her window.

We stayed at dolphins cove right by Disney land we ended up getting in really late after a hard time getting a an uber to the hotel. We walked down to jack in the box for a quick dinner then got to bed. The next morning we explored the hotel and got breakfast at Denny's next door. 

It was national talk like a pirates day so we did a treasure hunt and a treasure at the end.

We played in the rec room.

Then headed to downtown Disney for lunch and met up with Connor and Carly. The kids all picked a souvenir and headed back to the hotel our original plan was to go to California adventure but we forgot to get reservations. We tried to talk the kids into going to Knotts berry farm but they said they were kind of over amusement parks with the lagoon passes and opted to go back to the hotel to swim. 

We swam in the pool till dinner time and showered and got taco bell for dinner then went to bed to get ready to head to the cruise ship in the morning!
