Vacation

We are back from vacation and we had a great time!  Before we left, Kaitlyn said she was most looking forward to going fishing.  After we got back, she said her favorite part was going to “Chinese’s (Chuck E. Cheese’s) and playing all of the games”.

Kaitlyn was amazed that Grandma has bananas in her backyard!

Finally fishing with her buddy, Loren…

Now that Kaitlyn knows there is a baby in my belly, she is constantly rubbing and kissing it…

Dinner time!

Playing at Camp Carnival…

Carnival’s brand ambassador and head cruise director, John, was our cruise director on the British Isles cruise.  Kevin had sent him a message asking him a question and mentioning that we would be on this cruise.  He remembered Kaitlyn and said he would send her a little something…

John sent Mommy and Daddy some goodies too.  We packed the wine to bring home.  We’ll enjoy that after Baby Dickinson arrives!
