"Double Dip Delight" 09.27.2008 - Chapter 4!

Shell,

I LOVE the photo of Captain Jack with your daughter...he actually looks soft and caring in that one. He did try everything to get Elliott to smile and take a photo with him on the boat but my shy little guy was having NOTHING to do with that 'strange looking man'.

Hey all...
Hope everyone is doing well.
Hadley that is terrible about your leak problem! Sorry you had to deal with that mess!

Love all the pics, I don't have any really good character pics, unfortunately somehow we did not get *any* of Sarah with the characters and I really regret that.

To answer the question I missed, If there was one thing we could have changed it would have been the room situation. It would have been a lot better if our rooms weren't so far apart...but oh well.
If there were more than one thing we could change....too much to type but a bigger family pool (and more of them) would be at the top of my list, with a slide for us big kids too. More drink stations...yes....matinees...yes, change the AP menu back, more comfortable deck lounges, and (I feel the heat coming) maybe a freestyle-type dining option where we don't have to do the formal thing.

I am still getting over the crud...ugh! Tiffany you should have told us you had such a saggy bed, we would have traded with you in a second! Ours was so firm we both woke up with a stiff back and neck every morning. We should have asked our host to change it out. Don't remember our beds being uncomfortable on our other cruises...but we would have taken saggy over that block of concrete we slept on anyday!

Happy Monday, gang!

This one is a favorite for two reasons: 1) Celeste developed a deep love of Pluto while on the cruise, when she'd never taken an interest in him before, and 2) this is my favorite of the outfits I sewed for the cruise, and it's the only good picture I got of her wearing it.

Great pictures!!!! That outfit is *fantastic* and I love it.

Thanks. I agree. He really was great with her. She LOVED him and still talks about him. She saw him 2 or 3 times, and I've got great pictures from each time because he was so good with her.

I'm sorry that Elliott wouldn't go near him. My niece tried to get my great niece (9 months old) to sit with him. Every picture is of the baby leaning forward to get away. LOL! Jack kept saying "She loves me!" LOL!

This was the only one we could all get with him....and notice that Elliott has that look that one wrong move and he's OUT of there. Hopefully in two years that will be different...but with my mom calls 'her scary baby' I doubt it.

Julie, over the weekend, I had this "out-of-the-blue" thought. Sadie didn't bring us harsh weather! Maybe she's grown out of her jinxing!! Alex even got better! This would be really good news for your family!

Apparently while I was on vacation, there were new controls put on our network here at work. I can no longer get into Photobucket nor can stored photos you guys put up on the board be seen. So I hear you all talking about pictures, but I cannot see them yet! Of course this also means I can make photo contributions during the weekday.

I saw TONS of people but didn't get to talk to many people. Somehow people always remember us (I guess because we are usually the big loud people ) I told my husband that he is SOOOOO that old guy in the cruise commercial that is talking about selling 225,000 units in Nevada that has to be a record. He can turn into that guy so easily.

I love all of the pics that people have posted! They are so much fun to look at!

Hadley, that really stinks about the septic issues. That is really a pain!

Awe! I finally got to see these! They are all too sweet! I don't know if I can say I have a favorite character shot, but these candids aren't too bad.

Oh I like the one of you and Minnie on the beach! Super cute!

How is wedding planning going for you? I've called a couple of reception halls...actually waiting to hear back from one right now. I think I'll call down a lot after we have a reception site!

Still working on dates talking March or April 2010 I also have thrown XMAS 09 out as a suggestion We really need to narrow down the date first

 

[Buckeye Gal]

Thank you Maureen and Adrienne.

Still working on dates talking March or April 2010 I also have thrown XMAS 09 out as a suggestion We really need to narrow down the date first

We have a date, October 17, 2009 and this morning, I spoke with our two favorite venues for the reception. We're hoping to sit down and figure out cost tonight for the two venues...that is if I don't have to work!!!

I never realized how much planning is needed to have a wedding!
