Life with the Leibrocks: Leibrock Family Cruise 2019!

We had an absolutely amazing time last week on our cruise. Vacationing with young kiddos isn't always easy, but the memories make it all worth it! (At least for me, the jury might still be out for Matt, lol!). It wasn't as relaxing as some of our previous adults-only trips but the vacation from work, the cold, cooking and clean-up was amazing. And just getting to "be" and enjoy our kiddos and family time was the best. I can't wait for our next family trip! #takemeback#makingmemories

Cruise 2019 vacation memories

- surviving the plane ride, deicing, delay and going through all activities before we even toon off. Becca crawling all over, Brinley’s ears hurting

- Jess’s meltdown over Uber (almost tipping over Becca and matt swearing at me)

- most nerve wrecking car ride ever

- finally getting on the ship, hooray!!!

- getting unpacked in our room and finally feeling settled in

- daddy and Brinley exploring the ship the first night

- first morning with both girls in the kids club, hooray!!

- laid out by the pool, just mom and dad

- formal night dinner disaster and sending the kids to the club so we could finish our meal

- aqua show with all of us enthralled

- exploring San Juan and hunting for treasure at the jewelry stores

- Becca exploring the grass by the fort

- gazing out at the ocean at the fort

- watching the girls play in the morning

- Becca wanting to walk everywhere and saying hi to everyone

- the girls looking so cute in their matching outfits and bows

- watching matt and the girls walk hand in hand

- many, many rides on the carousel!

- special Valentine’s Day date and ice skating show with Brinley

Favorite photo from our fancy night

Best pic of the girls at the photo spot. How cute are they??

Love our family!

This was Valentine's day and we let Brinley crash our date in the main dining room. It was actually super fun and she acted like such a grown up little girl. So fun to spend time with just her! We then went to the ice skating show but stopped to take this picture on the way. Special memory of a special evening!

On the Titanic!

Our favorite picture, ready for the beach!

Excited to be at the airport waiting for our flight

Enjoying our balcony when we got to our cabin

The balcony made me nervous but it was so cool to be able to lookout at the ocean anytime we wanted

Becca got lots of cookies on this trip! Momma may have regretted that a few times at bedtime.

The carousel on the ship was a HUGE hit with the girls, especially Becca. She wanted to go again and again and again!

This nut loved it too!

They did a lot of waking hand in hand. Oh my heart!

My suave husband, thanks to Carson and Stephanie. This wedding suit has gotten a lot of wear!

We had lots of time to stop and smell the flowers

This nut! Her curls were killing me all week.

Now this is vacation!

Brinley is a little fish and got to swim everyday. Both Matt and I have some great memories teaching her to swim in the pool.

Becca wasn't so sure about the water but had a good time roaming around the deck (very supervised, of course!)

We did a family scavenger hunt one night and had to run around taking pictures at different points around the ship. Here was one in front of a theater. And the coolest part was that we won first place!

Beautiful chaos!

Gorgeous San Juan, probably our favorite day!

It was beautiful along the ocean

Our family!

El Morro, wish we'd had more time to explore!

Typical...

Our beautiful Valentine's date. Matt and I got engaged the day before Valentine's day 11 years ago. So fun reflecting on that day vs. Valentine's day 2019. I wouldn't change it for the world!
