We have 2 - Scotty will be 7 in 3 weeks and Annabelle is 3.  Scotty isn&#39;t quite so tiring because he is pretty self sufficient - he bathes himself, gets his own snacks, drinks, etc, but Annabelle is a whole different story.  We are taking the grandson to Mt. Rushmore next month.  Last summer, we took him to Disneyland and this year, he picked &quot;the presidents heads&quot; as he calls them, for his summer trip.  Annabelle is still too young to take on those kind of trips, but when she turns 5, we are thinking about taking them both on a Disney land/sea vacation.  <br /><br />That first cruise hooks ya&#39;, doesn&#39;t it?  Ours started an addiction that I hope never ends&#33;&#33;&#33;  As you can see from my tickers, we have 2 cruises on deck...<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd--><br />Yes they do wear you down, Mom &amp; Dad come for the boys today, so we can get back to normal. The boys are too little to take them on trips with us, specially Luke that seems to have listening issues. No Cruises for us this year instead we are doing a Family visit - R&amp;R at Sanibel Island in Florida. Our big cruise is going to be next year on the Awesome Oasis of the Seas. We only book 1 cruise at a time that gives us time to kind of save for them. We&#39;ve only done 2 cruises in one year in 2006 when We did Carnival Victory to Canada &amp; Navigator of the Seas to the Caribbean with Family &amp; Friends from previous cruises, this time our friends cannot make it, so it will only be family. I guess we need to make new cruise friends for perhaps future cruises... <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":laugh:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />
