Our garden is growing...here are some pics.

Our boat. The one next to it is also a Royal Caribbean ship, but it's alot bigger!!!This was taken from a restaurant overlooking one of the pools.
The island of Coasta Maya

Sophie and her snails that I mentioned in my earlier blog.

Coasta Maya

We saw this sign in the bathroom...I thought it was funny, so I took a picture.

So I promised Miss Poppins that I'd blog more about my trip, so here it is. The second port we went to was Costa Maya. It was pretty, but you could definetly tell that it was a tourist spot!! There were alot of stores and Kiosk's(sp?) in basically this big circle. There were pools right on the beach. We got a table pretty close to the pools. It was really nice. Me and Madison both got Mexican dresses while we were there. Her's was red and mine's green!!haha We wore them to dinner that night and everyone seemed to like them. While we were sitting at the table just hanging out, Sophie(1 of my "cousins" 4 the week) who's 6, found some snails and then named them and made up a whole story about them. There was a daddy snail and a momma snail. It was really cute!!!

Sorry I haven't updated yet...I just haven't seemed to have the time. The cruise was awesome!!! I loved it!!! The first few days we were at sea and that was nice. It was realtively warm and kinda wet, but still very relaxing. Grand Cayman was the first port we got off at. While we were there we went to one of the beaches, it was the furthest away from the town. There was a restaurant right by where we were swimming so when we weren't swimming we were sitting under the little awning of the restaurant. There was this little bird that came right up to us while we were sitting there and started chirping at us. The cab driver told us that we could walk back to town, it was only a 45 minute walk. We opted not to do that!!haha Our cab driver also told us that gas on the island is $6.50 a gallon. It kinda makes our gas price not seem so bad. On the island we saw a McDonalds, Burger King, Wendy's, and a Subway!! I thought that was kinda funny. We also went shopping. I got a pair of sunglasses that kinda look like the ones I had in Disney world.

This is the bird we saw at the restaurnt.

Silly me, I just remembered, my name was Dory!!haha I guess it really suits me...huh?

Ok, so I understand that we haven't updated in a while(now that I think about it, it's been about 4 months...I think), and I have no idea what I'm gonna write, but there have been some requests that we update so here it is. I'm just kinda making it up as I go and I'm a little tired as well, so I'm warning you now it could be a crazy mess. Let's see...I'm leaving tomorrow morning to go on a cruise, it's my 17th birthday present from my grandparents!! We're leaving out of New Orleans and we're stopping in the Grand Cayman Islands, Costa Mia(sp?), and Cozumel!! I'm really excited!! I've never been on a cruise before!! Neither has my mom, I think she's a little jealous. Supposedly its supposed to be in the 80's while we're down there, and I'm really excited about that. I don't do cold very well, so getting to go hang out in 80 degree weather sounds wonderful!!! I'm planning on taking lots of pictures and I'll post them when I get back. I'll be thinking of all of you. I hope you all have a good week.

Jesus loves you,
umm...I forgot my "code" name or w/e you wanna call it...I guess I'll just make up a new one. How does Jo Beth sound?

Today we went to Animal Kingdom where we saw Baloo, Jiminy Cricket and a pair of Pocahontas. We also had a rare Sully sighting. For a last ride a Disney World we all rode the River Rapids, but luckily none of us got soaked. That pleasure was left for the others in the boat. Tonight we are going to see the Hoop Dee Doo Review at Pioneer Hall in Fort Wilderness. In the morning we head north and home.

The birthday celebration for Pocahontas continued today with a delivery from Snow White (balloons and a card). We also spotted Dory with Dory at Epcot today. We visited Epcot and MGM today so that Tink could get her fix (there is only 1 more day left you know). We also encountered the largest crowds of the trip so far (see picture). The Food and Wine Festival started today at Epcot, so there were lots of young adults enjoying themselves. We finally has a Pluto photo oportunity today also. Tomorrow is Animal Kingdow and the Hoop to Doo Review at Fort Wilderness. Saturday we travel home.

Today we went to Magic Kingdom again. Lady Why pretty much summed up our whole day in her comment on the last post, but about the parade...Mickey didn't sing to her. While we were waiting on Mickey...aka...the parade, the crowd sang to her and a few other people whose birthday was also today.

They have a new thing in Tomorrow Land called "High School Musical Pep Rally". It's really cute, they do dances and songs from the movie and the invite everyone else to join along!! I tried to take some pics of Pocahontas dancing, but didn't get any good ones. Not only were there a bunch of little kids dancing, but Eeyore and I also saw a couple of (we think maybe 50 something year old) ladies dancing. Tink saw some grown men dancing and thought they were pretty funny as well.

Ok I think that's about it, but I'll post some pics on here for you all to see!! -Dory

Pics from Sarah Grace's birthday dinner at the Grand Floridian.

Here are more pictures from Animal Kingdom. Pocahontas talked with Chip and Dale to get over not being tall enough to ride. She is also grinning with her PeePaw in a rickshaw waiting to get wet. Tonight we are going to have dinner with the Princesses and have a birthday celebration. She showed everyone her "It's my Birthday" pin today at AK, but was quick to point out that her birthday is really tomorrow.

Mount Everest pics...

Today we went to Animal Kingdom. It was fun. We rode the Kali River Rapids 3 times in a row, first thing. Which probably wasn't the best thing considering we all have raw legs now from walking around wet all day. These are a couple pictures from the ride.




After that Eeyore, Lightning McQueen, Pocahontas, and I rode Mount Everest. It was alot of fun. When we got to Dino Land we tried to ride Prime Eval Whirl, but Pocahontas wasn't tall enough. She told the lady at the front of the ride that she had just got off Mount Everest and she was tall enough for that ride!!! She was mad after that!!! And didn't wanna ride much of anything.

Disney has been covered up with Love Bugs (and I don't mean Herbie!). They are everywhere. Yesterday we went to see the Beauty and the Beast show at MGM (see attached picture). Pocahontas like it, but she was more impressed with meeting the Pink Power Ranger! I hope that these additional pictures help some of you Disney Junkies make it through the rest of the week!
