At the port. Getting crowded already - we got #7 for bording. Full ship & no upgrades available!

For a small group, we sure had busy Fish Extenders! Thanks to all of you for the fun and tasty and useful gifts! I am bringing the ducks in to work to daydream about what a great week it was.

On behalf of my children, a big thank you for the awesome fish extender gifts They loved finding them each day, and even made the trek around the ship a couple times to drop ours off (great exercise!). I didn't realize we were supposed to label them: so, just to let you know, we did the personalized M&Ms, the Camp Rock pencils/fish pinballs, and the ducks.

We had a fantastic cruise--so full of special memories. Thank you all for helping to make it extra special

Back home and recovered from the mountain of laundry.

Was an incredible week and we (and the kids) loved all the FE gifts, there were so many and my little ones said it is way better than Halloween.

My kids had a blast participating and ran to the door checking for treats every time we returned to the rooms.

Hope everyone is home safely and enjoyed their cruise.

We had awesome servers and enjoyed all of the ports and excursions.

We rebooked for another Western next month (May 30th sailing) and got FL resident rates and managed connecting balconies this time so no long walk down the hall between rooms.

Wishing you all a wonderful day and, Happy Easter.

Thanks for all of the cute gifts!

We had a blast and are quite deppressed to have to leave the Magice once again. We tried hard to rebook onboard, but we couldn't get a date to work. Oh we'll. I'll be keeping my eye out. We have to get back on that ship ASAP. I hope to post some pictures soon.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

I'm digging out from vacation, the big kids are back in school and I can relax a little.

The gifts were all so wonderful. We've never done this before and I thought it would be one drop per family. Along about day three I told my kids we were probably done - I was wrong!!

My kids loved it - my nine year old was so excited the first night when he got the crayon holder that he was searching around the cabin looking for something to give out - I assured him I had something - I kept it secret from my kids until the day we passed them out. We did the bags with glow sticks, sticky hands, and the Spring Break pirate tatoos and tootsie rolls.

I must admit with 5 children it was a bit overwhelming. I have a whole army of ducks, more pirate stuff than I knew what to do with, the airplanes and punching balls were bouncing off the walls until my husband hid them only to resurface with more chaos days later. I had a new toy to hand out everytime I heard "I'm bored" or "hurry up". We had so much candy that I gave a bag to our room host and wait staff - we couldn't possibly eat it all, especially with all the ice cream, pizza and mickey bars we consumed. My daughter loves dancing to the CD. And I kept some of the m&ms - not sure what I'm going to do with them, but I couldn't let them all be eaten! and I added the magnets to my kitchen collection

And girlzmom, how does a mother of seven have time to make homemade gifts and have all her laundry done in less than 24 hours?? I need a lesson or two!

Thanks again. I wish we had set up a time to meet everyone

We got home and have been so busy between finishing our remodeling project and work we had no time for the computer.

We got a call from a friend on the ship today and it reminded me I wanted to get on here.

3mm It was great to get to meet you. How funny our tables were so close.

grlzmom-ditto what mary said...where do you find the time. I have been meaning to make my dd one of the crayon holders for when we go to restaurants....thanks to you I will not have to. and May 30 that was a fast turn around

nickcapp those bags of pirate stuff were great


Thanks to everyone for so many great gifts. I was amazed out how much there was with such a small group. I liked the small group much better than the large ones....so much less walking.

And funny about the punch balls.....I think my husband just managed to make ours disappear.

Sorry it has taken me so long to get to a computer, but glad all are home safe and back to non-ship life.

Tstobb,
I looked through your pictures. Those are great shots!! Thanks for sharing.

We are tired and busy here.

Back for a weekend out of the country and alot to do before our next cruise in a few weeks.

But wanted to pop in again and say thanks for all the great FE stuff. Really gave us some good ideas for the next cruise. Going to be a much bigger FE list. I think like 87 people and 20 something cabins, so we will see how that goes

Wishing everyone a wonderful week.

Anyone else hoping for FL resident rates for spring break again in 2010?
