9/11/13
After a late night last night, I
even went back to sleep after Zach’s morning wake-up call. Finally Jacob got up at about 8:30am and we
quickly got ready and snuck out to breakfast before the others woke up.
Zoe woke me up soon after and that woke Ella and Max up
pretty quickly. Overall, it was a very
relaxing day. After our breakfasts,
Kyrie took the older kids to the pool and the babies and I went for a little
shopping walk in St. Thomas. It’s nice
that in St. Thomas you can get off the ship and see some shops without having
to get a taxi or anything. The shopping
is just tourist stuff – no chance of seeing the real St. Thomas there – but
it’s still fun to look through some of the shops. I can’t help but find it strange that St.
Thomas is part of the United States. It
seems absurd to see a US Post Office on this tropical island.

Our dinner tonight was at Animator’s Palate again.

Kyrie's drawing |
This time we each were given a placemat to draw a character on and then after dessert our characters were brought to life on the screen. It was a lot of fun and people did a good job with their drawings.
Seeing your drawing come to life and dance with real Disney characters was amazing! A major highlight of the trip for sure! Your name even appears in the credits at the end of the show. Then the wait staff gave us the placemats back with an official seal that we are now Disney animators! So cool!
The boys watching a magic trick from our waiter JC:
Here’s how it went down, we all had seats in the theater. Marc sat the kids down with a couple bags of popcorn and handed me a cocktail then asked if I would be okay with the kids while he went to a movie. Umm, sure.

Made it through the show! And ready for bed!
