2nd Day on the Cruise, Castaway Cay

The first night on the cruise during dinner, I started to feel sea sick, like the room was spinning.  Steve had a motion sickness patch so I put that on behind my ear.  It helped some.  Steve stayed w/ Hudson after dinner and put him to bed, then the rest of us went to the show.  

The next morning though I was still feeling sick to my stomach.  It reminded me of morning sickness.  I stayed in bed while everyone else went to breakfast.  After they got back, Dave and Steve gave me a blessing of healing.  Miraculously I started feeling better shortly after, so I got dressed for the beach and we headed out.  I never felt that sick again, the rest of the cruise.  I'm so thankful for power of the priesthood.

We made our way off the ship and onto Disney's private island, Castaway Cay.  Earlier it looked like it might rain, but thankfully we had NO rain the whole week!  We had absolutely beautiful weather the whole week, between 75-80 degrees!  Here are some highlights from our first day at Castaway Cay.

Riding the tram at Castaway to get to the family beach.

Cute Hudson playing in the sand.  Beautiful scenery.  Picture with Jack Sparrow.

So gorgeous!  We bought snorkel gear for each of us and brought it w/ us so we could snorkel as much as we wanted to.  It worked out really well and we all had a GREAT time snorkeling.  That's pretty much what we did the whole time there.  There is a section just for snorkeling and they have hidden things you can find, in addition to the fish you see.  There is a statue of Minnie, Daisy, Dumbo, Mickey, pots, motor parts, and submarines.  It was really fun to find and see under water.

Going out on the tram, Hudson playing in the sand/water, Carter going snorkeling, and eating lunch.

They had lunch provided at one of two places, called Cookies.  They had ribs, hamburgers, hot dogs, chicken, fruit, chips, cookies, and of course more ice cream.  Since it's Disney's private island, its all included as part of your cruise.  Thankfully Hudson took a nap in his stroller during lunch.  

He woke up just as we were finishing and had a couple things to eat and some ice cream.  

Then back to playing in the sand.

We found a sand dollar while snorkeling, but weren't able to bring in on board.  

There was plenty of shade under the palm trees and umbrellas.  It was wonderful!

Making our way back to the ship.  Getting a picture in front of the Disney Magic before boarding!

Back on board, on our way to dinner.  They did a presentation of Tangled, and brought lanterns out by our tables.  It was Rapunzel's birthday so we had birthday desserts.  It was a lot of fun and the food was yummy!  The boys ordered steaks, which they thoroughly enjoyed! Hudson had to try the Mickey bars this time too.

More fun towel designs after dinner.  We found Daisy Duck on our way to the kids club.  The boys slept in Dave/Joann's place each night since Hudson went to bed earlier and we didn't want them to wake him.  The housekeeper made up the boys' bed in Super heroes, which they loved!

It was a super day and we had a lot of fun!  We were thoroughly enjoying our cruise to say the least!
