4th day on the Cruise, 2nd time at Castaway Cay

On the 4th day of our cruise, we were back to Disney's private island, Castaway Cay.  We were so excited to go there and experience it again.  It's such a beautiful place!  After breakfast at Cabanas on ship, we got off the ship onto the island.  We took the tram again, taking us over the family beach.  

Hudson excited to play in the sand again.  Nyles, Hudson and Steve getting breakfast.  Hudson playing w/ a caution sign as we were leaving our staterooms.  Carter saying hi to Olaf on the island.

Hudson at the beach, then later at lunch he took Steve's burger and ate it.  
Nyles and Carter laying in the hammocks on the island.

Joann ready to go snorkeling.  Carter went out to the larger snorkeling area once, but then just wanted to look around at things near the beach.  Nyles and I went out many many times, and Dave, Joann and Diane joined us once also.  It was so fun to see the cool statues under the water and the sea life.  We even saw a wild Stingray, though kept our distance since he still had his stinger in tack.  

Carter eating some ice cream after lunch.  Thankfully Hudson took another nap in his stroller again so we didn't have to go back to the ship.  Beautiful palm trees w/ coconuts in them.

Beautiful Castaway Cay.  Steve and Carter taking a break and relaxing.

Cute Hudson.  Getting our feet washed off before heading back to the ship.

One more group picture in front of the ship before boarding.  
Hudson waving to Aunt Diane in the car in front of us.  Beautiful scenery all around.

Back on the ship, as we were changing, Hudson wanted to hug his Diaper Genie for some reason.  It was awesome that Disney provided one for us, along w/ the Pack-n-Play in our stateroom though.  Nyles and Carter wanted to go swimming again once back on board, so we took them up to the pool.  Ironically they were the only ones in the pool, which was nice.  

I went down the yellow slide w/ Carter, and then down the red/back one w/ Nyles.  Carter wasn't tall enough for the black one so he kept going down the yellow one.  For the black one, you stand on a clear plexiglass, enclosed in a tube, then Donald Duck counts down, "3, 2, 1" and the plexiglass opens up, and you fall down the water slide!  I closed my eyes the whole time!  Nyles asked me to do it one more time, so I did, then said that's enough for me.  He went back several more times though and thought it was really fun.   No thanks!


Nyles and Carter wanted to keep swimming and going down the slides, so we decided to just eat dinner up on deck 9.  Dave, Diane and Joann went to our regular rotation for dinner though so our servers wouldn't be wondering where we were.  Later they came up and had ice cream w/ the boys and watched a movie on deck while we put Hudson down to bed.


It was another wonderful day at Castaway and on the ship!
