Day 3


Our third day of vacation was another fun filled day! We woke up with this beautiful view and by 9:30 we were on the beach (privately owned by Disney).

We bought Gabby some sand toys and alternated building sandcastles, making Gabby into a "wormmaid" and swimming in the crystal clear water. Gabby managed to also have a dance party with Minnie Mouse and Goofy and watch hermit crab races. 


The day was perfect! The sky's were blue and filled with fluffy white clouds and the water was the perfect to cool you off when you were too hot from playing in the sand. After we all had our full of the beach we went back to the ship to relax before our evening festivities were to begin!

Grandma and Grandpa filled us in in the happenings on the ship while the 3 of us were hanging out in paradise. They ride this really cool slide that goes over the ocean 3 times (we couldn't ride it because Gabby was a centimeter too small). They said it was super fun. 

It was Pirate Night so we all got dressed up in our pirate gear before heading to dinner. We met Pirate Minnie, watched a pirate performance and sat in the rain to watch the not so impressive firework display put on by Disney. By the time we pushed the stroller back to the room Gabby was passed out.



The hostess taking care of our room had a big surprise for us (besides the golden chocolate coins and pirate bandannas we had been given earlier in the day). Gabby had soft princess sheets on her bed. She was very excited when she woke up the next morning and discovered  she had slumbered with princesses. All of the small things add up to a magical experience. Everyone constantly called Gabby princess which made her grin from ear to ear. The world revolves around the kids during the cruise. All of the people who work on the ship are there to serve the children and ensure everyone has a magical experience, which I am happy to report we did!

Shelbie. Sherbie? Sheldon!

So I caved. We always go to the pet store and look at all of the animals, for at least an hour each week. The day after Christmas we went to the pet store and Gabby said, "Can I have a real cat? Please..." I said no, but for some reason I decided she needed a cat and Michael was on board, so Saturday we did not tell her what we were doing, but we bought all of the stuff for a cat and then went to the pet adoptions. Gabby loves looking at all of the pets and was petting all of the kitties. We played with numerous cats and chose a 9 month old cat that has been in the pet store as long as we have been going there.   This cat always seems to perk up and give Gabby attention, so he was the only one I was truly interested in adopting.  I didn't want a kitten because they are so rambunctious with sharp kitten claws, not to mention Gabby isn't that gentle and I was afraid she might have loved it to death.  We used Gabby's Christmas money from all of...

Halloween & Another Kitty Costume

Halloween this year was a whirlwind.  I had plans. Big plans, but life happens and plans change. Gabby had early release on Wednesday and Thursday this week.  We had every moment scheduled, but our schedule changed. We were blessed to have Grandma, Grandpa, and Aunt Sharon come for a surprise visit.  I wasn't getting much sleep and so I wasn't 100%. Wednesday Gabby spent the day with Mommy visiting with Aunt Sharon and Grandma and Grandpa once out of school. On Thursday, we still managed to spend one day with Aunt Sharon and even take her to the airport after Mommy got off of work.  Then we went to Uncle Mark's new apartment and picked up some clothes for him (Gabby is in LOVE and wants to move in immediately).  Then the fun began.  She got to  paint a black cat for Halloween and then got a Gigi's cupcake (eating nothing but the frosting).  Somehow she later convinced me to take her to the farmer's market for perusing, then some cartwheels in a...
