Fred and Shannon put together a family cruise. Scott's family was not able to join us, but they ended up having all kinds of important events during this time period so it ended up being a blessing that they stayed home.
Here we are in line waiting to get on the cruise ship. We cruised on Carnival Firenze. Fred and I were skeptical because that cruise line is known to be a party ship, but we didn't have that experience at all.
Our first at sea day some of us found a nice out of the way area to play cards and games. I played a game with Clara. She is a smart cookie. She was able to explain the game to me very thoroughly.
Later on, I was walking around and found Grandpa with the grands at the buffet. I loved it when we would run into each other on board the ship. This cruise ship with about 4,000 passengers and we would find our family.
This wild group went for ice cream
Ben and Blake had a ice cream cone height competition. Very impressive.
I made quite a mess a few times. 
I was so glad to see the families of Corinne and Shannon come
together and just hang out.
I saw these two hanging out several times in deep conversation......
Our first port was Cabo San Lucas. We had to ride a tender from the ship to the port. It's always a fun time taking pictures of each other taking pictures.
Spencer, Henry and Clara in Cabo. Corinne's family was game for just
about everything. I appreciate that.
They came across a guy who offered to take them to the beach so they didn't have to walk in the heat. He offered to take them to see the sights around the area, drop them off at the beach and come back to get them for $10 each. Very good deal!
I think they look great in this picture.
Shannon's family had reservation to do paragliding.
Brian went with Blake and Shannon with Marissa.
They all had a good time.
We all wandered the pier area in Cabo. The locals practically force people to take a picture with whatever gimmick they have so we have to pay them.
No way am I going to put something in the reptile family anywhere on my body.
Oooh - two disgusting creatures.
How can she have a smile on her face.
We did eat the majority of the meals all together.
The service was really slow, but there were a lot of us.
Here we are at Ensenada. Corinne's family.
Fred and me.
Shannon's family
Ben and the kids tried our this Churros. They said they were so good.
Here we are leaving the ship to walk into Ensenda. Brian was there to do the honors.
Brian left us a few selfies of himself after he took our pictures.
Here's a selfie.
We had to entertain ourselves while waiting for dinner to arrive.
We paid for a photo package. This was the whole family photo. I wish I had brought a different dress. This color of dress was very blah.
I was so pleased how well this family trip went. The grandchildren mixed together so well. I think everyone really did have a fun time. The food wasn't great, but we all still ate it. I'd do it again.
