The Oldroyd Family

Last week I was lucky enough to go on a last-minute girls cruise with my friend, Bridget.  Sam took a couple of days off work & his mom filled in the rest!  It was SUCH a great break & as much as I fretted about the lack of contact I'd be able to have with Sam & the kids while I was on the cruise, I didn't worry one bit once I was there. Galveston cruises were all booked up so we took a little road trip to New Orleans.  We went on the Carnival Elation.  I was pleasantly surprised with my first Carnival Cruise!  We had a great time, despite the "rough crowd" and some creepy guys.  After sitting by the creepy guys the first night at dinner, we asked for a table change.  We, ironically, got placed with 6 Air Force Cadets.  They ended up being super fun & nice.  We had a great time at our new table! Tuesday was formal night.  Always fun to get a little dressed up! Wednesday we ported in Progreso, Mexi...

We had such a fun zoo trip yesterday!  We had Savannah & Isaac with us!  You can imagine the looks I got with 5 little kids running around.  I was asked several times if they were all mine.  Haha! It was a little bit crazy... especially getting out the door.  I had to have 5 sippy cups, 5 snacks, 5 packed lunches, 5 pairs of socks & shoes on, 5 jackets on... plus my own.  I actually almost made if off our street before I realized I hadn't put my own socks & shoes on!  So glad I realized that close to home! The kids did great at the zoo though.  They loved seeing all of the animals & we even happened to be by the lions when they fed them!  That was a special treat! I hope we can do it again soon!
