Cheri and I just got back from a West Caribbean Cruise. We had a lot of fun. We left for Miami on a 2 layover flight which turned into a 3 layover flight because of bad weather in Tampa, Fl. The flight was significantly cheaper than no layovers. On Friday, we went on an Everglades tour and held and saw alligators. Then went to the Key Largo and to a scuba museum. We didn't go to the beach because of bad weather. Weather on the cruise was great though. We scuba dived on Cozumel and then Grand Cayman. Both islands had great diving. The cruise ship towered over low lying cayman.
On Jamaica we hiked Dunn River Falls and went on a Jamaican bobsled ride (very similar to Park City Alpine slide except on rails so we didn't use brakes).
We enjoyed the food on the Carnival Liberty but didn't experience real hunger for the whole cruise. It was fun to order anything and everything on the menu though from steaks, sushi, escargot, fish, chicken, noodles, desserts, and fruit.
We stayed in an interior cabin on the 7th floor (floors ranged from sea level (deck 0) to deck 14 (mini golf and overlooks). I would recommend interior cabin because of the little amount of time we stayed in the cabin (basically just to sleep).

Ty B-day and snowmobiling
We celebrated Ty's bday on our way up to a friend's cabin to go snowmobiling. All Tyler knew was there a frosting and a candle to blow out.
We all had fun up in Island Park snowmobiling and chatting with friends. The kids got to drive the snowmobiles (with some parental help) and they loved it. Thanks Dan/Reiko!

Christmas
We had a fun time with family up in Idaho. It was cold but so was Utah which makes it much better. Of course we roasted in Grandpa's house but it was still loads of fun. It is always so much fun to watch the kids on Christmas.

Thanksgiving
We had a lot of fun at Scott/Pams in Phoenix. Thanks so much for putting up with us. Here are some pics of the excitement. As you can tell from the cousin sleeping area, they had loads of fun.
Also added to this trip pics are Ryan's wrestling tournament. He placed second in the newbie division and had lots of fun.

California Vacation
We had a lot of fun in Southern California. We were very worried about sickness since Bryce had the flu 4 days before we left. Ryan got a tired at the beach and both Almary and Ryan were both tired and slept the afternoon on Wednesday but still did half a day at Legoland. We went to Seaworld, LegoLand, and Disneyland. We had loads of fun. Cheri can add more details and pictures are seen below.
