This morning we got ready to go out on Castaway Cay (pronounced key). The kids were excited to go out onto the beach. Castaway Cay is Disney's private island. It is clean and so very nice.

We stopped for a picture with Pluto in front of some really nicely decorated anchors.

It was nice to have a shady spot for the kids to play in. We were really careful about the sun. We didn't want anyone coming back looking like Sebastian the crab.

I loved all of the bright and vivid colors. It was a beautiful day. It is always a nice day for me when I get to see this handsome guy smile.
Irelee had no idea Ryan was behind her. You can tell he was relaxed and just having a good time.

The sand was so clean and white. Derek could have played in it for hours.

Sometimes the picture that you thought didn't turn out is the one that you fall in love with.

It may be hard to see but Grandma was helping the kids make sand castles.

I tried really hard not to hide from the camera this trip. I may be blindingly white but I didn't look that bad after all. I thought Vickie looked really nice. She managed a tan.
WhooHoo sexy.

They had a nice little spot for the kids to play in the water. There was a lot to do on the beach. We didn't even experience half of it.

On the island they have a place to eat called Cookies. It was nice to not have to go all the way back to the boat to get something to eat and drink. Ryan was having lots of fun making Danica laugh.

One of our struggles on the trip was keeping Danica's hair out of her face. We let her get some braids and it was nice for the two days they lasted. Danica probably would have kept them in longer but Derek started pulling them out and she finished the job.

She sat still so well while the lady made her braids. I loved them. It was so nice to see her pretty face.

This picture was taken on our way back to the ship. There it is our beautiful DREAM.

Ryan and Derek had to check out the cannon balls.

We got cleaned up and dressed for dinner. It was dress up night. There were some people in fancy clothes but with five kids this was as fancy as I wanted to get.

We ate in the Enchanted Garden. Don't they look nice all dressed up.

We didn't look to bad either.

The older girls all told me this was their favorite dining area on the ship.

I leaned into Ryan during the meal and told him I would like to get some pictures of all of us dressed up after dinner. Our sweet as could be server took us to these stairs and took the pictures for us.

She told the kids in her sweet accent to kiss their parents for bringing them on a cruise.

Then she told them to kiss your Grandparents.

We asked her if we could get a picture with her in it. There is a better picture of her in a previous post. all of the kids liked her. It usually takes Danica a while but she warmed up to her in no time.

Jenna got an extra souvenir on her face.

Our room was ready early that night.

We went to our last theater show. The kids still had a little bit of candy left. Can you tell what kind Jenna had?

"I'm just so happy to be here."

"What do you mean we are getting off tomorrow?"
I love the pictures. What a fun trip. You are going to plan my next trip. Thanks for sharing the other day we had so much fun.........
