Go See Peyt & Bad & Lusa

On our way home last week, we decided to take a long stop to break up our 11 hour drive home. Unfortunately, it was only 3 into the trip, Haha!! but it was worth it! We stopped at Brad and Lisa's house in Hattiesburg...Kainaan was thrilled when I told him. For 30 minutes, until we got there, all I heard from Kainaan was, "Go see Peyt. Go 'pay' Peyt trains. Go see 'Bad' and 'Lusa.' Go seeeeee Peyt friend." Those boys had so much fun! And it was so nice to sit and eat lunch and just hang out.

'Lusa & Peyt" A.K.A. Lisa & Peyton


Oh boy! They have a cool bounce house toy!!


Yoo Hoo, Its me, Peyton!


Look Lulu (that's Peyton's way of saying Lori) I have a sticker that doesn't come off. He was showing me his tattoo, but he called it a sticker.


Caught ya!! Weeeee!


Watch me create a masterpiece.


Oooo! Presents! Peyton loved Kainaan throwing the tissue paper.


Dig deep! Don't fall in buddy!


Yea!! Cool presents! Thank Lusa(Lisa) and Bad(Brad) and Peyt(Peyton)!


Holy cow! They DO love each other!! How sweet! But in 2 seconds, they will be pushing and hitting each other!


Kainaan loves playing trains with Peyton! Kainaan usually makes a beeline for Peyton's room!


But 'Oh my goodness!!' We had to stop in this room, too! Wow! A ride-on train!


Peyton has the coolest toys!!


And they shared and took turns like little gentlemen. I guess Lisa and I have done something right.


Kainaan waiting for his turn. Peyton is soooo cute! I love his hair!

The Final Hours Before Back To Reality

Here is a combination of our final 24 hours on the BEST place ever! Our final round before heading back to reality....

Adios Cozumel...You were a blast and we certainly left our mark! Ha!


Yeah, we partied ALL DAY in Mexico, but this was the Fiesta on the Lido Deck that night...we were still going strong! "Everybody clap yo' hands!!!"


Natalie, Me, and Stacey gettin' low!


"At the Copa, Copa Cabana, the hottest place west of Havana..."


Brian and Natalie havin' some fun. This is a guy that Natalie and Stacy picked up. He was there with his 8 year old daughter, just the 2 of them, how sweet!! And how funny, he is from Pontoc, Mississippi! He knows the same family that I know from there...don't ever think you can escape your life on a damn cruise out of New Orleans...You will always find someone that knows you or knows someone of someone of someone! I might have a better chance on an Alaskan Cruise! :-)


Our trusty Captain and his fearless crew! He always ended anything he said with "Ciao!"


See look, he's saying, "Bye-Bye, Ciao!"


Another towel creature awaiting us...Its a monkey.


Here comes Peter Cottontail!


Yep, one more round of singing...
"You can take your high society, I'm soaking it in kerosene..."
"I'll find some place to lay my blame, the day she changes her last name."
Huh? Oh, sorry...I started singing parts of the song!


An exact replica of our ship made entirely of LEGO PIECES!!!
I thought my brother and my nephews would enjoy this.




And so the story ends...Bye-Bye, Ciao!!

Day 3- Cruisin' Into Cozumel

GOOOOOOOOOD MOOOORNIIIIINNNGGGG COZUMEL!!!!!!!!!
So here are the pictures form our AWESOME day in Mexico! And don't expect the juicy pics...I am not that stupid! HAHAHA!!! :-)

We have arrived!!


Is that not the most gorgeous blue water you have ever seen!?!? It looks like a swimming pool!


Do we all look like ants standing next to this thing, or what!?!?


I love looking at the ship from this angle...its size just so amazing.


Cheeeese! Lets start our day...where are going first? Carlos & Charlie's or Senor Frogs??


Can you tell I was just in awe of our ship??


And the water...I still can't believe this is the Gulf of Mexico! (A new note: Lori, you were partying in the Carribean...DUH??? Thankfully, my friend, Lisa, pointed that out to me. Thanks girl! I am such a blonde! Its ok though, my husband thought the Vatican was in Poland! LOL! I guess that's why we make a great couple.)


This is going to be a long walk back this afternoon when we have had a few...


Yep, there is no mistaken it, I am a tourist!


Of course we both had to pose!


Calgon, Take me AWAY!!!


The great 'arm-out' shot!


OHHHH! JUST TAKE ME FAR FAR AWAY!!!!


Haha!! Let the Drinkin' games begin!!


Anybody want to go play on the inflatables?? How cool was that!? The water was COLD!!!


Yeah, we know what our drinks look like in our hands, but they are palm trees! Strawberry Pina Colada...YUMMY!!


Helllooooo Gorgeous Eyes!! Our bartender...


Yep, our drinks are kickin in!


Anybody up for surfing?? Or just pulling up an old blue chair!?


Just give me an old blue chair, a bucket of beer, and Kenny Chesney or Bret Michaels to serenade me...aaahhhhh!!!!!


OK- the alcohol has officially started kickin' in, we are shedding clothes! HAHA!!


Our arrival at bar #2...Coconuts! Our taxi driver brought us here...who knew??


I can't help but feel like my Uncle Mike &/or Father-In-Law would truly appreciate this.


Well OK, Miss Thang! Misty has the perfect idea!


This bird hangs out ON the bar...he was fun!


Well hell...lookie here!! We follow in other LSU fans' footsteps!


Coconuts very own Garfield! Look how FAT he is!! (There was 2 dogs walking around, too...Animals in a bar and restaurant?? Only in Mexico...oh well, tequila kills everything!)


On to a yummy Mai Tai...or 2! The food was great too!


Welcome to Senor Frogs! 3 bars in one day, Damn we are GOOD!!
Bottoms up!!


A yard of Senor Frog...I have no clue what was in it, but it was GREEN and GOOD!!!


Damn Drunks! Ha! Our eyes had a nice GLAZE! Oh, and our taxi driver left us here...I don't blame him! Its all good. As my brother and Sharon say, "Just roll with it baby!" We jumped into a another taxi and away we went to the ship! What an awesome day! I hated to leave.
