Disney Cruise - Tortola

Tortola of the British Virgin Isles was amazing - talk about a small quaint island.  We took a boat to the Jost Van Dyke beach and loved our day at the beach.  The water was crystal blue and the sand was soft and white.  We enjoyed cocktails from a small beach bar "One Love" and even played table top cornhole.

Disney Cruise - Spring Break 2017

Over a year ago, Grandpa Weatherwax started planning for our Weatherwax Spring Break 2017.  We went on a Disney Cruise and had a wonderful time.  The food, staff, entertainment and weather couldn't have been any better.  The Characters were all over and there was plenty of opportunity to meet, hug and even dance with them.  

Warning - I had too many great pictures so I had to post them all!

Here is the luggage for 8 people going on a Disney Cruise!

Its always fun to get dressed up!

We had pirate night on the boat - a fun themed dinner and an outdoor show followed by fireworks and dance party.

 There were photographers all over the place.

Emma and Kate riding the famous "Aqua-Duck" water slide!  Emma ended up riding 34 times throughout the week.  

Sage was able to escort Goofy down the stairs on the boat!

Grandpa's biggest fans!

Adult happy hour while kiddos were at the kids club!

Indian Princess Pinewood Derby

Emma created the "flip flop" boxcar.

Kate created the "Pot of gold" boxcar.

 John's tribe was the co-host of the event this year.

 Getting ready for the race.

 Along with the races, they had basketball and ping pong ball/spoon races.  Emma and John had the most combined points and they got a trophy!

Grandpa and Grandma volunteered at the event. 

Valentine's Day and Hoops with Emma

We went to brunch for Valentine's Day.

 Sage was excited to fill out his Star Wars Valentines for his class.

 Emma's 3rd grade class with the best-ever photobomb from her teacher Mrs. Leinberger!

Unfortunately Kate got sick the morning of her party, she was so sad to miss the party but she received her goodies the following day.  

The dynamic duo Ella and Emma finished up another solid year of basketball on team Liberty.  It was fun to watch them play full court basketball.  Next year they will likely transition to travel.

Before every game the girls perform this chant.  Go Liberty!

Indian Princess - Father Daughter Dance

 Our whole family always looks forward to the Indian Princess Father Daughter Dance.  The girls love getting dressed, John loves hanging out with his "frat brothers" and his girls, the mom's get together for dinner and the little brothers hang out too!

The girls wore the beautiful dresses again from Brett and Sarah's wedding and Kate added a stylish pair of gold converse!

Dads and Dates!

This year's theme was "Under the Sea." A mermaid, a slushy bar, cookie decorating, dancing and dinner...Oh my!

Swim Lessons for Sage

Okay, okay...I might have been holding my son back from his true swimming potential by using the puddle jumper most of the time.  I admit it - it was easier for me, and a peace of mind!  So, here we are taking swim lessons at the fabulous Goldfish Swim School in preparation for our exciting Disney Cruise at the end of March.  

He loves the warm pool and he is showing great confidence!

Go Sage Go!

Moms' Getaway to Cancun...and the kids will play!

Last January when Kristen, Kate and I were at the PA board review seminar in cold snowy Chicago, we decided that we needed a true getaway!  Sooo...we headed to Cancun Mexico and stayed at the Riu Palace Las Americas for 3 nights.

 Because we all live in different states, having the ability to lounge around, visit, talk, laugh and reminisce was amazing.  We had one afternoon of thunderstorms but other than that the weather was sunny and warm.  

Love this pic of Steph and Kate in the swan tube!

We are all working mothers' so it was a guilty pleasure to take a few days for ourselves...  Thank you to our amazing hubbies and families who helped out while we were gone!

The same weekend John had the girls at the Indian Princess winter camp-in where they skate, swim and hangout!

Sage went to the Blue Jackets game with Grandma, Grandpa and Aunt Rebecca!

Fun for everyone on this weekend!
