Day 2 - Disney Dream Cruise - Nassau, Bahamas

Monday morning, we woke up as the ship was pulling into Nassau, Bahamas.  We were able to get a great view of the Atlantis Resort.  For our Nassau excursion, we went to the Atlantis Aquaventure Water Park.  The boys were so excited.  We ate breakfast, then headed off the ship.  We had to catch a bus to take us to the resort, which was about 5 minutes away.

We spent all day at Aquaventure.  All 3 boys loved the lazy river, which wasn't really lazy.  It had rapids, which were awesome!  We did the lazy river twice because it was so much fun.  The kids loved the kid area as well.  It had 3 big water slides and two small water slides.  Chase was such a big boy and went down the big water slides, which he loved.  They all went down the water slides over and over again.  

After Aquaventure, we headed back to the ship to take showers and get ready for the Captain's Dinner and the Disney show.

The sharks freaked me out.

Back on the ship, we changed clothes then headed to the top deck to Goofy Sports to play putt putt golf.  The boys decided that this was Pluto's room on the ship, so they had to take a picture in front of it.
Chase's swing

He decided to take it easy instead.

Yep, we ordered off the kid's menu too and enjoyed Mickey Ice Cream as well!

Knox wanted his picture with Captain Mickey but only if I took one with him. (Sweetness!)
Once again, we were walking on the ship and ran up on Donald Duck. 
 The boys were so excited!!

I love this picture!  Happy boys equals Happy Momma (and Aunt)!

I love the last two posts! It looks like such an amazing trip. My favorite is the last picture of you, your boys and Knox. You look beautiful and the boys are so cute, as always! Can't wait for most posts :).

Eddie needs to know how much fun you guys had... I have been begging him to go on a Disney cruise for two years now. I might just take the boys myself :).
