February

February was a very exciting month for us.  The first full week in February Monty and I went on a cruise and Mia spent half the week with my parents and the other half of the week with Monty's parents.  Sadly I don't have the pictures from Mia's week without us yet, but I do have pictures from our cruise.

We sailed on the Norwegian Dawn out of Tampa Florida.

Our first day, Monday, we spent at sea and just hung out on the boat and soaked up some sun.  Our first port was Roatan, Honduras on Tuesday.  We went to Victor Boden's Monkey park and hung out with some animal friends.

It was awesome!  After the monkey park we headed to Bananarama Resort.  I have some friends who manage the resort so we went and had lunch with them and then hung out on their beach and did some swimming.

Wednesday we were in port in Belize City, Belize.  In Belize we first went 4 wheeling through the jungle.

 It was very muddy but great fun.

After 4 wheeling we went cave tubing.

 We hiked up into the jungle and then floated down the river through a massive cave system.  It was awesome.

 

 On Thursday we were in Costa Maya, Mexico.  We went to the Chacchoben ruins.  There is an ancient pyramid and two ancient temples.

There was also a bunch of foundations left from an ancient neighborhood of houses.

 Friday we were in Cozumel, Mexico.  We went on  dune buggy tour of the island and went snorkeling.

 Self portrait!

 We saw lots of fish, a sea turtle, and a sting ray.

 We visited a lighthouse with gorgeous views of the ocean.

 A dune buggy was a great way to see the island

 We stopped to see a bunch of crocodiles too.

 Saturday we were at sea again and enjoyed soaking up a few more rays of sun before we headed back to Utah.

 The sunsets were beautiful.  This was our very last one.

Shortly after we got back from the cruise cousin Khloe and Aunt Nicky were in town and we got to meet them for breakfast one morning. 

 It was really fun to see them.  Mia enjoyed giving hugs.

Trina has enjoyed teaching Mia how to make funny faces.

 A groggy eyed Sunday morning...but what a cute new dress.

 Lately the goal at our house has been to build the tallest tower possible with Lego's. 
Daddy had a good running....

 But I think Mommy's tower won.

Until next month.:-)
