Then DH would die.He hates people looking at him -- but, I guess if we had 20 kids he would have to get used to that! LOL!
Oldest dd (24) always laughs when she hears me say *I only have 5 children.* She has said to me *You know most people think more then 2 is ALOT.*
We have started adding *And they all have the same mom and dad* Because we found out that most people thought it was a yours/mine/ours type situation.... Until they saw everyone together!
Yes I believe we are so you better have one of our cell numbers to give us a ring while you are thereI was REALLY hoping to get a ball game in too so we'll see if I'm gonna lose out on that one

I knew that!
It was a great response! Very diplomatic!
Edited to add: I sort of got the idea that THIS was thread the OP was talking about, hense the reference to 1000's of pages!
that's a thought- but we'll have to see if the kids let us take them from the lab- they are so insistent they want to stay in there this time. LOLIf you feel you are "too inexperienced" to do the hunt, consider doing it by yourself with your family. Then you get the opp. to find the items you can without the pressure to compete with others sooooo much better at knowingn the ship than us rookies
thanks for the info! Okay no wonder I never heard of chocolate smoothies- they were trying to keep it a secret! Well no more I tell you, NO MORE!
awww you're so sweet!
Thanks for sharing the pic! Very nice looking family!Then DH would die.

I think I would have to be a foot taller to make the weight to height thing work.
I got you beat. We lived together for 11 years before we got married.
We had bought a house, had 2 kids-and then remembered we forgot to get married along the way. That was 8 years ago so we have been together almost 20 years now.
Congrats on the milestones.
I was stalked. I was on actually on another date and DW managed to invite herself in on it.
oooh sounds like a story!
I know some county's in Kentucky are completely dry, or were...we would vacation at some of the parks down there when we were growing up...my dad was frustrated trying to find some beer. He saw a guy carrying a 12 pack and asked the guy "where did you get the beer?". The guy responded, "What beer? I don't know what you're talking about." and kept walking. He went into a convenience store and was pleading with the guy to help him locate some beer. I guess the guy finally said, "Leave a $20 on the front seat of you car and take a long walk." When he got back from his walk, there was a 12 pack.
Sounds like something my father would've done!
Prayers for your Aunt and congrats on the job promotion.

Well, I mean - looking at the picture you can understand their confusion. Here you are with a whole bunch of kids who look alike, and then you have this one with the giant ears and nose, unusual features, only 3 fingers on each hand and who insists on wearing a pointy hat and dressing in a funny red robe. I mean, you can't really blame people for wondering....
Maybe we should start a "Captain Jack's Repo Thread -- Lite" and promised to post no more than one post a day on that one?!
Ah me.
When I first got on this thread, I was amazed and confused and overwhelmed as well. I dropped it for a few months and then came back as things got nearer. It is fast paced, especially when we're pirating to the next thousand, but everyone has been exceedingly cordial, imho.
Since we have to have a mixture of banter and cruise related information, I have finally gotten this activity off the ground. I have wanted to do a scavenger hunt on the boat since last year. In the past I have made pirate maps for the kids and hid them around the house with clues leading to the next map. I tried to think of a way to transfer this idea to the Magic but I would really need to be on the Magic to come up with really good clues. Also having people stationed around the ship handing out the next map seems to be way to involved. So I did some research and discussed with Cherie and I think I have come up with a workable idea. I am open to comments, suggestions and help on making this a lot of fun. So here goes my idea.
- We will make up teams out of those that sign up to participate. Depending on the interest the size of the teams may vary.
- Each team will need one digital camera/team.
- Each team will be will be given a list of items/places on the Magic that must be photographed with one of the team members in the photo.
- First team that collects all of the designated photos and returns to the starting point will be deemed the winner.
Example: Paintbrush
- The list of items/places may require some thought and knowledge of the ship.
Since this would be an easy one, the team would head off to Animators Palette and take a picture of the paintbrush outside the restaurant with one of the team members in the pictures. Trust me the actual list will not be this easy and will require all of your cunning pirate skills.
I would love to have a few volunteers that would be interested in coming up with items/places on the Magic for the list. Also help at the end to verify the winner. If you volunteer for this you will not be able to participate in the actual scavenger hunt.
I am thinking that this activity would be great on the sea day following Aruba. By that time people will have spent enough time around the ship to be familiar with most of areas.
