I almost had a heart attack watching dad hold baby Violet near the patio railing, even though I know she was perfectly safe, the camera angle made my heart stop 😬.. its so beautiful watching the boys love on their baby sister 😍.. you can tell just how much they adore her.. i was cheering Bennet on with you, hope he gets a white bracelet before the end of the cruise 🙂
Mom of four here My husband always said With a kids it’s called a “trip” Without the kids it’s called “a vacation” thanks for sharing your cruise w us Love your sweet family ❤
I know that was STUPID PARENTING, ever since that Grandma dropped her granddaughter in the ocean on that cruise! I can’t stand that! BE SMART, have COMMON SENSE
The B E S T.....Loved everything.....I'm so in love with Violet...she makes me smile and feel wonderful.... and you....the camera loves you...those family photos....WOW...everyone in it ...amazing! What treasures....and how happy I feel seeing you all in all the things you do and places you go..... AWEsome.... Thank you so much... xoxoxo
You've got the right kind of family for that cruise. So many things to do that so many people enjoy. Your day in Mazatlan looked amazing. I just have to say when Mark was out on the balcony holding Violet, she looks so much like him.. ❤ usually they are moving so much that you can't see it as well. I don't know how you all do it. You're going to need a vacation from your vacation. Id run out of steam not doing half of what you do. Glad you're having a fantastic vacation.
Looks like so much fun today. You are all so sweet to each other. I love you all. I can't believe how good Violet has been. Knock on wood! All the kids are blessings.
Thanks for sharing with us Lauren I enjoyed spending the day with you and your family. I know I will never be able to go on a cruise so each day spent with you is so wonderful ❤️ 💕 💗. The crafts sold are all very pretty 😍 💗 and similar to some of what our craft vendors sell in Jamaica. Grandpa is so sweet with Violet and the boys dote on her. You have an amazing family. Enjoy the rest of your vacation and God bless and keep safe ❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I so loved every video‼️ Thanks for all the work you did to share them with us. It was such a hard year. I am so happy you had this time to do fun things together and have FUN together‼️ Also HAPPY 80th BIRTHDAY GRANDMA❤️🎶🎂🎶🎁🎶👍🎶😊🎶❤️‼️‼️‼️
This cruise series has been great ! ! Seeing your Alaskan boys tan & surfing has been so fun and seeing you, Lauren, chill out a bit even though you’re juggling so much has been nice. Thanks for taking us along !
What an amazing week we have had. I loved the vlogs Lauren. Thank you very much for bringing us along. You are already busy with Mark and the kids, but you also thought of us. You are such an amazing person, Lauren. ❤❤ Love and Hugs from Manitoba
Your bathing suit Lauren was a great buy. What a terrific day for the boys . The boogie boards looked so much fun. The food was wow, yum. 😊. The Dress you bought for Violet is so cute. Turtles excellent choice and Maracas perfect choice for Violet don’t they just love everything that makes noise.
I'm glad y'all are having a good time. I've got to catch up have missed 3 days of watching. The ship is beautiful and beautiful scenery along the way. Mark, I was so nervous when you had Violet at the edge of ship. I was like Mark can you take about 3 steps backwards. I know you had her tight and safe. Love to all ❤❤❤
Everett with Mark in the waves just cracks me up, that child is full of joy and energy. He is always happy. I love y’all’s sweet family. I am binge watching the cruise. 🚢
Your boys are having a fantastic time. Violet is so amazing such a good baby. I think you guys are having a great time. Really enjoying your videos. Thanks again!
Great trip. Everett is having a blast. He's not afraid to try anything looks like. 😊 Violet is so cute. I could tell the heat was bad. The little dress for Violet is so adorable. Thanks for sharing your trip.
I’m always in awe of when your family gets into winter events. Sking and snowboarding, swimming in cold water and listening to how cold it is and you all just get on with it. Well now you’re in my environment, surf, sand and heat. Yep Queensland Australia, home to the great barrier reef, best beaches and surf. It comes unfortunately with blistering temperatures , 33 degrees Celsius and we are still in spring so we are all water babies. Glad you all enjoyed the boogie boards, sunshine and surfing. The sun and water definitely makes you sleepy.
I have so enjoyed getting to watch all the videos Lauren. I am living vicariously through you as I will never get to cruise. 🚢 Glad you got some down time today and some relaxation. Loved seeing your shopping 🛍️ and items , loved Violets dress 👗
💜Hello sweet friends. Thank you for another enjoyable, fun video. Can't wait for the next one. Sending love, hugs 🤗and prayers your way. Stay safe and healthy! 💜
Lauren, you won't regret getting the Mexican vanilla. I buy it here in Texas. It is the best. You use less than the vanilla that you buy in the store at home. Mexico has a clear and a dark vanilla. Both are out standing. I do a far amount of backing and I absolutely love the flavor of Mexican vanilla. Love you sharing your trip with us all. Love your videos. Love from Texas. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🐈⬛❤
I was so pumped to see the kids having the time of their lives, Violet seems to know that she’s on vacation, and the sample king gives us a thumbs up on the food and drinks, how cute is he! Excellent videos Lauren, your channel is better than anything on T.V. Thanks.
I've had a great time watching your family enjoying the activities. The scenery, the food, the fun. Violet is growing so fast and now is a Musician. Bless you all for sharing your life with us. ❤❤
These cruise lines I’m sure are protected along with the ppl by the government ,and the cartels are probably told “you leave the ppl alone they are our income” and I’m sure the cops turn their backs on their “activities”.
My sisters and our husbands are taking the Alaskan interior cruise July 2, 2026. For 2025 we are going to Hawaii, the island of Kauai. We are so excited to be able to do things together as siblings and best friends. We are hoping to do Japan in 2027. Family is number 1! Mexican vanilla is the best! My favorite. I have been out of it for a few years, but you will enjoy it.
Love these videos. Thank you for sharing with us. Violet is a super trooper baby! Looking forward to the next video. So cool that they post what each day is!
What a great cruise. The boys and Violet sure are having their best time. So glad to see your parents enjoying there time. What a great 80th Birthday celebration for your mom. And they are so helpful with Violet.
You have handsome boys and they are so well mannered. But may I say Violet is the most incredibly beautiful and happy girl. I just adore her. Good job mom and dad on such wonderful children!❤❤
I loved this vacation with y'all! What a great deal on all of your swimwear, i loved your suit it was just right for a vacation in the tropics! I want to go with you on vacation, it looks so organized even when something unexpected happens. You're a great presenter Lauren and i enjoyed every bit of your vacay so far! 2 more days❤🎉🎉
That was awesome day. Violet 💜 loved those maracas she was having fun. The boys looked like they were having a good time. Prayers 🙏 and Love 🤟 From Ginger
What a great time at the beach. The food looked delicious. I just love the dress you picked out for Violet. It is so nice to have grandma and grandpa onboard and having wonderful babysitters. I always buy my vanilla in Mexico. It is the best and very reasonable. God Bless.
It's so wonderful watching all of your family enthusiasts so wonderful and exciting trip.All of you and mum, dad, brothers and sisters families have an amazing time, God bless you all.❤❤❤❤xxxxxxx
Thank you for sharing your cruise I am really enjoying it!!!! The boys were having the time of their lives and I love seeing it.:) Violets smile is so so sweet and contagious. I know you and Mark had to be exhausted lol Can't wait for the next video!
My husband and I went on a couple of cruises to the Bahamas. When we got off of the ship in port, we had people wanting to sell us things and drive us around. We just walked around and explored the area ourselves. There was another time when we took the tour and were shown the area. We also got to hang out on the beach and swim which was really fun!
Omgosh Lauren, it looks like everyone had so much fun on the beach! At the point Everett was just vibrating and screaming joyfully, i just laughed so hard!😊😊😊😊Great video series!❤❤❤
I’ve always wanted to go on a cruise but never have .. I kinda feel like I’ve been with you! Thanks for being such great tour guides! Violet has been a trooper!
Wow, your kids are definitely living their best life on this special family adventure! Back to reality is always tough! You have raised some fine young men, who obviously adore their sister 😍
I love this vlog,Thank you for sharing your trip,I have never been on a cruise,it looks like a very enjoyable time.Your boys will always remember your family hav ing a blast! Love seeing baby violet!😀
❤️🎉❤️🎉❤️ I’m loving your cruise and all the fun activities! The food all looks amazing!, The ocean…..nothing compares to ocean waves! It is wonderful that your very special family is making these memories! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️Love to you all!🎉

This has been so exciting, for someone who will probably never get to go on a cruise! Thanks for sharing!
Hear hear! Not a chance I’m getting on something called a Flow Rider. 😂
Me*2 😅🎉😂❤
I’m living vicariously through their adventures!!
I agree. This is so fun to watch. She put together great videos ❤
I agree I will never get to go on one
Love to hear Mark speak Spanish ever since he got off at Ensenada 🎉👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 keep practicing so you don’t loose it Mark 😉👍🏼
Thanks for taking us along
Mark filming the boys in the ocean is priceless! Everett is having the time of his life. As are all the boys. You too, Angel 😇 Violet!
Agree 👍
Mom of four here My husband always said With a kids it’s called a “trip” Without the kids it’s called “a vacation” thanks for sharing your cruise w us Love your sweet family ❤
That's funny! Minus kids is vacation! LOL
Beautiful little dress for Violet made in Oaxaca absolutely authentic❤
Anybody else squeeze Voilet tight when watching Mark hold her on the balcony? I know he has her tight, just made me nervous. 😅
It’s the mom in us I guess🤣
@@Katz1950Yes, those were my thoughts exactly.
YES!!!!
Omg, I was thinking the same😊
yes…. haha.!
Standing with Violet next to that rail.........Noooooo!!!!! I can't even watch then.
Yes, that made this gramma so nervous!
@kaycuneio7226 My knees buckled, and I was sitting down. What if Dad passed out or lost his balance for some reason? OH NO!!!!!!
I know that was STUPID PARENTING, ever since that Grandma dropped her granddaughter in the ocean on that cruise! I can’t stand that! BE SMART, have COMMON SENSE
Everett and those waves..................cutest thing EVER. He's so precious.
I have to say these kids are amazing! They enjoy everything new! So outgoing!!
The B E S T.....Loved everything.....I'm so in love with Violet...she makes me smile and
feel wonderful.... and you....the camera loves you...those family photos....WOW...everyone in it ...amazing! What treasures....and how happy I feel seeing you all in all the things you do and places you go..... AWEsome.... Thank you so much... xoxoxo
Mexican vanilla is excellent.
Yes!
Bennett seems to be the most like Mark
I’ve been looking forward to your videos on vacation in Mexico! The kids are having such a great time! 🌴🍹🍍🦜🌊⛱️🏝️👙☀️

You young people are so brave, I would never travel to a foreign country. Glad you all had fun and are safe.
It’s right next to USA it isn’t that super foreign but yeah most speak Spanish over English but plenty still will know English or some
These cruise lines I’m sure are protected along with the ppl by the government ,and the cartels are probably told “you leave the ppl alone they are our income” and I’m sure the cops turn their backs on their “activities”.
