Cruise - June 1st trip to Orlando

Although I took lots of pictures this time, I didn't take as many as last year.  And since I can't figure out my new camera (it's a professional camera and I am NOT a profession photographer), my lighting isn't good on half the pics.  I really need to take a class. 

I ended up getting acupuncture right before we left.  He also put seeds in my ears to help wih the anxiety and seasickness.  I could tell a huge difference in my anxiety level and I didn't get sick the entire trip!  Unfortunately the seeds fell out the 2nd day on the boat, and although he gave me replacement seeds, I couldn't remember the exact place they went.  So the seeds didn't get put back in.  My anxiety did get worse throughout the trip. 

This year we fly up the night before, just as last year, but stayed at the Hyatt airport.  The hotel was SO much nicer this time around and we didn't have to leave once we got there.  It was so convenient to stay there.  There was no stess and very little crowd, unlike last year.  The food was much better this time too!!  We ended up spending about the same in food as last year and didn't have to eat greasy fried food. 

We shopped around the airport b/c Orlando's airport has many souvenier shops.  Since last cruise, we have been saving all our spare change in the "football" (a houston texan piggy bank).  The day before the cruise we cashed it in.  We ended up with $175!!!!  It was supposed to go toward swimming with the stingrays or dolphins, but since we couldn't do them on these ports, we let the girls split the money and buy souveniers.  Although they wanted EVERYTHING they saw, we laid rules for what they could buy.  It seemed to work well and they got many things they wanted.

Anxiously waiting for the plane to Orlando to board...

Avery didn't have to use the earplanes this time and her ears were fine. Addy still wore them since she still has a tube in one ear.

Once we got to the airport, the girls took pictures with all the characters they saw (statues)...

Addy had to take a picture with Spiderman to show Cooper.  Notice she crossed her legs!?!? 

Avery bought herself an Avery necklace.  They didn't have Addyson, but they did have an A.  Addy didn't want it b/c it didn't have her full name.
