The Andersen Family Cruise!

To celebrate Kai's (Kenton's Father) retirement the whole Andersen clan went on a Mexican Riviera cruise. It was such a fun trip! It was fun to have everyone so close and having so much fun together. Before we left for the cruise Molly and I went out a few days early to visit Kate's great grandmother Chalker. She is Molly's mother's mother. We were glad to visit her so we could show off Kate.

Here represent four generations of women on Molly's side of the family. We would have liked to have had Molly's mom in the picture as well to have a four generations photo.
Here we are getting all excited for the trip. I believe that this shot was taken within minutes of the boat pulling away from the dock.

Kate on our bed trying top lay claim to it, but we made her sleep in the crib on the floor.
Here I am trying to make it up the climbing wall. It was my first time on a climbing wall and I was not that good at it.
Molly made the ship's climbing wall look like a walk in the park.

Kate was hungry but the mermaid offered no milk from her offered breasts.

Can you guess that we are all waiting for a bus? It was hot in Puerto Vallarta but it sure was fun and beautiful.

This was Kate's reaction to taking a ride in the small boat that we hired to take us to the beach.

Here is the small boat and the family. Notice that mom and dad are both trying to hold on to their hats.

This was a "Formal Night" on board and we did our best to look sexy and Kate did her best to look like she has seen a ghost.
Again, looking good.

Here Molly and I were frolicking in the waves of Cabo San Lucas. Devra and Sawyer we also having a good time.

Here is a picture of our boat, pictured on the left, and another boat that stopped at Cabo. Although our boat looks smaller due to the distance it was actually bigger than the one on the right.

Just a fun time enjoying Mexico. Just minutes before this shot was taken we were enjoying some delicious fish tacos.

This was a shot of all of us in a truck taxi. Yep, there were 15 of us crammed into the back of this small pick up. Looks safe doesn't it. You have got to love the relaxed laws in Mazatlan.
