Bahamas cruise 2012 - part 1

We went on a cruise to the Bahamas for Spring Break. We stopped at Key West, Florida, Nassau, Bahamas, and Freeport, Bahamas. I got sea sick really bad and took motion sickness meds and wore motion sickness bracelets. (It was not fun.) But we had such a good time and I'll definitely go on another cruise soon but ask the doctor for motion sickness patches before we go. LOL We drove the 12 hour drive to Port Canaveral, Florida and it actually went by kind of fast. We left at 10:30pm and made several stops and still got there before 12pm. We even made several Walmart stops. LOL

Ok here's the first set of pictures. Our first stop was Key West, Florida. Which was by far the BEST stop. We rode jet skis for an hour and a half and shopped. (Addison stayed on the boat during this trip so I could do stuff with the boys.) Eli wasn't fond of the jet skis at first but once we got going he loved it. Jacob, of course, was all for it from the get go. I'm trying to keep these pictures in order but some are from my phone and some from my camera.

Our boat left us. :( LOL (Kidding.)

Random chickens were all over the place in Key West. One of the shuttle drivers told us that Key West used to be famous for cock fighting. Then he said that once it became illegal it's like everyone just threw them out the front door because they're EVERYWHERE! It was hilarious! (You know you're a tourist when you're taking random pictures of chickens on the street. LOL)

Eli's 9th birthday!

Eli turned 9 on March 13th. He's getting so big. I still baby him a lot and try not to let him get the "middle child" syndrome but I can't help it. LOL He always wants his birthday party at Chuck E Cheese since he's so picky about his food. (Everyone else goes for either Olive Garden or Wasabi.) Eli's a quiet till you get to know him kind of kid. He's sneeky, very smart, forgetful, and loses things ALL THE TIME! But he's my E.I. :)
I made this! :) All by myself!!!

Eli's soccer game pics

I've not posted in a while so I've got several to catch up on. Here are some pictures from Eli's last soccer game. 75% of these games were played in the D1 indoor soccer arena but the last couple had to be outside due to scheduling conflicts (or something like that.)
