On the 3rd day on the ship we stopped in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. This was a tendering port (meaning- you had to get on another small boat to get off the cruise ship).

We looked at the different excursions Disney was offering and a lot of them just wouldn't work out well with a baby. We seriously considered doing the Dolphin swim- but knew one of the adults would have to sit out and so we decided against it. We finally decided we would just get off the boat and see what options they had. The moment we came off the boat and on the street- we were bombarded with salesman trying to sell us their excursion. BJ took a video of them hollering at us. It was a little overwhelming, but we knew what we were walking into. We ended up negotiating one of the guys down to $50 for all 6 of us to go on a Glass Bottom Boat tour to a beach where they would let us stay and play and then come pick us back up.

Here is a good look of our cruise ship

It was SO SO HOT! We were all dripping sweat just sitting there. Ashlynn was exhausted but did really well. She seriously is the best baby! Most babies would have cried and cried with how tired she was a lot of the vacation; but she was so happy most of the time.

tired eyes...

Before taking us to the beach they took us to see some of the rock work

'Lands End'

and some of the Sea Lions. They were all sleeping, but on our way back to the ship we saw a sea lion jump on the back of a fishers boat looking for food. They told us they do that all the time because they are so so lazy. ha

Here is the beach we went to. Again, we were stopped by several people trying to sell us things.

There was a lady holding this Iguana and Kaylee ran to go see it. Before I knew it Kaylee was holding it and the lady was telling me to take her picture....and then asking me for money :D

Yes- they did sell us a few things. We "rented" an umbrella and bought a blanket to sit on. Which made it really nice when I had to feed Ashlynn.

Connor almost falling asleep on the boat ride home.

After we got home and had the kids have some quiet time. We got all dressed up in our Pirate Costumes

We were all super impressed with Grandma Tenney's costume

Yes, they even made our ketchup into a Mickey Mouse

We then got a picture with Stitch.

Pirate face

Girl Party!

I LOVE this picture of Connor. We were given these Mickey ears as a F.E gift which Connor ended up wearing. Doesn't he look so stinkin cute.

Pirate dinner

This is my favorite. When we took Kaylee to Disney land when she was 3 1/2-4. She would pop out her leg for all the character pictures. Notice Connor's leg ;)

Connor told me after "I put my leg out like Mickey does!". ha ha SO cute!

We laughed when we saw this dessert with his "side of carmel sauce" ha ha ha

Silly faces

Then to end the night we took Ashlynn to the nursery sound asleep so she could sleep while we took the other kids to the Pirate party that went from 9-11 pm

ha ha this picture cracks me up

We bought the kids light up toys before coming on the vacation. This was the perfect night to use them. The kids had fun with them. But honestly, there was so much to do they would have been totally fine without them.

This was the night they did the big firework display off onto the water. They also had the characters come out and dance. Afterwards they had a buffet. Yes, we let our kids eat another meal at 11pm! BJ and I ate some fruit- but the kids went to town on a huge turkey leg. ha ha They didn't eat much dinner so they were pretty hungry. It worked out perfect.

We then picked up Ashlynn and headed to bed. Grandma grabbed some fruit at the buffet as well- but she headed back to her room.
