Pirate night and the Stingrays








 We had a ton of fun dressing up like pirates.  I think initially they thought I was a bit crazy when I suggested we actually dress up but everyone got into it quickly.  Declan appreciated that everywhere we went the staff would give him a thumbs up for being a pirate (they all dress up as well).  We attended the pre dinner pirate show up on deck, the kids played piratey games, and we got to learn how to be a pirate in order to win the ship back from Capt. Hook.  
 As an aside, here are the kids playing the Midship Detective Agency.  They had a blast trying to find out who was responsible for stealing all the paintings!  You flash your badge in front of paintings and receive clues from the paintings.
 Here we are at Castaway Cay enjoying the beach and stingrays.  We got to feed, pet and snorkel with stingrays.  Everyone, well almost, loved it.  Declan did not enjoy it and spent much of his time digging in the sand.  Terefech and Rich spent a long time snorkeling around with their new friends.  Amazing creatures!


 And can you believe Jack Sparrow was on the island with us?
 The kids love Chip and Dale cartoons so they were thrilled to run into them.  I was thrilled that we didn't have to get our picture with Daisy Duck.  We were the last ones to get in with C and D!   They had no idea who Lilo was but hey, she was a character so they wanted their picture taken.
