It has been forever since we last updated. We know we are really far behind, but during this time of quarantine, we hope to catch you up on the last year or so of our lives. This is February of 2019, so a little over a year ago. We sure love time with family, and we are thankful for family.
We always look forward to vacations, and we were super excited to be able to go on a 5 day Caribbean cruise in February with Poppy, Nana, Uncle Blair, Aunt Blip, McKinly, & Easton. We got all packed up & ready for some fun in the sun.
Emmersyn all ready for her flight.
Once on board the ship, we looked all around the ship and then enjoyed the rock climbing wall. Brady made it all the way to the top and had a lot of fun.
Here I (Brecken) go...
I may not make it all the way to the top, but I love it...and I sure do try!
Brady goes again for 42nd time! ;)
Do you see Brady all the way at the top?
We were also excited to see a play area on the ship, too. So, off we went climbing...
...& climbing...
...& climbing.
McKinly, Easton, Averie, Emmersyn & me
Averie attempted the rock climbing wall, too, and loved it. (She is in the pink shirt.)
One night after dinner, we headed to the arcade for a few games. McKinly won Emmersyn this purple duck from the claw machine. She loved it. It was so sweet.
I got to do a behind the scenes tour with Daddy and see the captain's quarters, the barracks, the kitchen, & more. It was so cool, and I loved it!!
Emmersyn & Easton relaxing in the hot tub!
This would happen almost every night at dinner...this girl was so tired from such fun, full days.
Our first stop was their private island. We were excited about this stop...heading to the beach for some fun in the sun, ocean, & sand. Daddy & Averie went for a jet ski excursions while the rest of us headed to the beach for a while. We also all got to do this activity where we climbed and jumped around on inflatables in the water. It was so fun...& so exhausting. Lots of laughter and lots of fun.
Ready to hit the beach!

Us boys are loving the beach.
Emmersyn hits the water fast & loves it!

I always love the sand more than the water...making all sorts of creations in the sand...

I do enjoy the water, especially since it cools me off! :)

Our Family 2019
Cruisin' & Relaxin'
Getting ready to get back on the ship.
Our second stop was Ocho Rios. Poppy & Nana stayed with Emmersyn on the ship, so she got to swim in the pool for hours...and loved it! Daddy & Mommy surprised the other 3 of us with a super exciting dolphin experience. (Emmersyn wasn't tall enough to go...) We got to kayak some, go down a water slide, swim with dolphins, and then see some birds & rabbits before getting back on the bus. But, getting in the water with the dolphins was the best part. We got to interact with them so much! It was so awesome.
Averie with the dolphin...
...& a kiss from the dolphin, too.
Brady gets a kiss from the dolphin...
...& a few dance moves...
So fun!
My turn to get a kiss from the dolphin...
...& a few dance moves, too.
Mommy gets a kiss...
...& so does Daddy! We all loved the experience. It was so incredible.
Brady enjoyed the birds...
... & I was a little unsure, but I liked it!
Bros & Birds
Averie was happier snuggling with the rabbits.
Back on board and all ready for dinner. We boys are silly.

Love our family.
Emmersyn loves the kiddie pool...so much fun for her!
One night, we got to try the ice skating rink. It was so cool to try it out...& think we are on a cruise ship. We enjoyed it...
