{ Cruisin Disney style . . . part 3 }

Our second day on the ship started out with a delicious breakfast at the Beach Blanket Buffet on deck 9. Breakfast buffets are my favorite because breakfast food is my favorite kind of food. If I had it my way we'd eat cereal, french toast, or pancakes for dinner every night.

Our kids were so excited to swim so we got on our suits and headed up to the pool. There were 2 pools for the kids on the ship, the Mickey pool which had a water slide attached, and Goofy's pool that was a little deeper and had hot tubs. The kids wanted to go to Mickey's pool but it seemed like every time we were ready to swim, it was closed because someone had an accident in the pool and they had to drain it and sanitized before they could fill it back up.

When we got to Goofy's pool they started doing some line dancing on the stage in front of the pool. So you know who were the first ones to join the party right?! The Hammer clan! At one point we had our whole family jammin out on the stage. I even had a lady come up to me later and say "nice job on the dancin!"

{ Cute Baby Jae. Lovin those chunky legs. }

There was a self serve ice cream stand not too far from the pool and we took advantage of that every chance we got!

There was a gazebo by the pool where the characters would come for pictures and autographs. Here are the kids with Daisy Duck.

We just took it easy that day and it was a nice relaxing day.

The next morning we arrived in Puerto Vallarta. It was so beautiful there, I couldn't believe the view.

Logan and Trevor jumped off the ship and went to check out what activities we could do with that large of a group. They found a company that had a big enough van for all of us to fit. I use the word "fit" loosely, more like squeeze. But they took us for a tour of the city and made a few stops for activities on the way.

Our first stop was mostly a potty break but there was an incredible view of the ocean.

Our next stop was a resort where the guys could go snorkeling. There was a little beach spot where the rest of us could play while we waited for them. This is where we discovered that Myla is not a fan of the sand. She was so mad at me when I tried to walk her down to the water. I ended up just putting her on a lawn chair where she sat for about an hour eating some fruit loops.

{ I love Abby's face in this one }

{ I can't get enough of those "hungee buns" }

This was a precious moment for me. I just stood there watching these to ladies who I love so much have a special moment together. Priceless.

When the snorkelers got back we loaded up and headed to our next destination, a restaurant in the middle of the jungle! I was able to look past the bugs and dirt and it was so cool.

There was this pet parrot just hanging out as we walked to our table. Sophie was fascinated with it. So of course she tried to touch it and it bit her!

We were all starving and so incredibly hot. Check out Myla's hair!

The food was pretty good and while we were eating a man came over and serenaded us. It was actually pretty cool.

While Sophie and I were walking to the bathroom we saw this line of ants carrying food to their hill. I was totally amazed by the size of the things these little creatures were carrying. We had to take a picture.

We loaded up for our final time and headed back to the port. A few of us stopped off at Walmart to grab a few things and met up with everyone else at dinner that night.

After dinner there was a performance of Toy Story the musical. Aside from the music (I wasn't a fan) it was an excellent production! The costumes were incredible and the kids loved it!

We slept good that night after a very long and adventurous day!
