Cruise - Western Caribbean

We booked a last minute cruise out of Galveston.  Royal Caribbean...Voyager of the Seas.  We had an awesome time.  It was our 4th cruise, but our first with the boys.  Alex and Gra loved it.  They were really sad to get off the boat after 7 days.  I think the free ice cream was the highlight...we got ice cream 2-3 times each day.  Gray has been saying, "Go back to the big boat Daddy!"

Our first stop - Cozumel, Mexico.  

We went to Paradise Beach.  It was a great beach with a nice swimming pool.

Alex made it to the top!

Our second stop - Grand Cayman

This was our favorite stop.  The beach was beautiful with clear blue water.

Gray's Birthday

Hail Storm

We woke up at 1 AM to the sound of rain and hail.  After a minute or so it really started coming down.  REALLY coming down!  Hail as large as golf balls.  That was a new experience for us.  It sounded like we were in a tin can as the hail hit the windows.    Here's some of the damage...

All the gutters got hammered

The fences are all pot marked.  Will be power washed and restained

Hole in the casing of the window.  Lots of our neighbors windows were broken.  Luckily none of ours.

Pinewood Derby

We made one of the coolest pinewood derby cars I've seen...it looked just like a Hershey's chocolate bar!  It wasn't as fast as we wanted, but it was the best design!
