Cruise Update

We just finished a 5 week stint on a ship in the Western Caribbean! After being rerouted nearly every week due to hurricanes we were so ready to get off and be on vacation. We spent our first week on land at Walt Disney World followed by a cruise with Christian's family. There was 30 Hansens in the group. We sailed on the Royal Caribbean Freedom of the Seas and visited Cocoa Cay, Bahamas, St. Thomas & St. Maarten. Here are some highlights from my first cruise as a passenger! In St. Thomas we rented scooters and toured around the island. After over 2 years of cruising around the Caribbean this was one of the only islands we never visited! I'm still not quite sure how we all made it back in one piece between driving on the other side of the road and the sun going down. St. Maarten! After visiting old friends we went to the beach and Christian, Doug & Stan went scuba diving! Soccer champions. The "H-Factor" won gold at the soccer tournament. I'm not sure if it's really fair since 3/6 played college soccer, but we'll take it.

Tyler, Lauren, & Mackenzie!
Christian, Doug & Stan were obsessed with the Flow Rider. Every single morning they woke up for the 8am "Advanced Surf Session". Stan actually rented the entire Flow Rider 2 nights for extra practice sessions. They were 3 of the 4 people invited to the Grand Finale Surf Competition and Doug took the top prize!

Clearly I needed a little more practice.
