Today the kids were up early even with the late night getting in from the airport, so we grabbed an early breakfast at the hotel. The hotel had a waterslide that was truly the perfect size for our kids. The older boys could make it go fast by going down on their knees, spinning around and being crazy :) Ainsley liked it just the way it was and even Whitaker would ride on my lap and giggle the whole way down! After some pool and waterslide time we headed out to g...

We're off on another sabbatical adventure! On June 6th, 2024, Keely hit 20 years at Epic so we needed to get on the second half of her 15 year sabbatical ASAP! Keely technically started her sabbatical on Thursday but it was filled with beef deliveries, hauling bales, bringing lunches and dinners to me in the tractor. Not to mention packing and end of year school activities! Not exactly riviting material for a blog entry! After multiple late nights in the tractor...

Heading home Disembarkation day is crazy. We had the option of a seated breakfast with our waitstaff team at 6:30 am or head to the Cabana’s buffet. Regardless, we had to be out of our rooms by 8 am. Our large suitcases were taken last night so we only had to worry about our backpacks, diaper bags, stroller and car seat. Kids were pretty quick this morning so we had plenty of time to eat breakfast overlooking the Barcelona harbor. Eggs, muffins, Mickey waffl...

Day 7 - Palma de Mallorca Today we finally slept in! Most of the crew slept well past 9 and we realized at 9:50 that the buffet breakfast only lasted until 10! Kevin ran upstairs to grab a few things to get us through until lunch. We planned to stay on the boat instead of getting off. While it would have been nice to see the beaches of Mallorca, it seemed silly to pay for a bus ride to a beach when we had a perfectly good pool and water slide at our disposal! A...

Day 6 - Sea Day We told the kids to sleep in today and they slept all the way to 8:15 or so! Odin and I got an extra 15 minutes of sleep while Kevin took anyone that was awake to the buffet for breakfast. We met them upstairs and had a nice time eating on the back of the ship outside looking out over the sea. We went back to our room to freshen up before our first activity of the day, The Royal Gathering. This was a chance to meet four princesses at once! Ains...
