Meyer2 Posted September 13, 2012 Author #176 Share Posted September 13, 2012 The magician came by the table & he picked the little one for the trick, which was good as he can be shy. He loved it & thought it was super cool. His words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meyer2 Posted September 13, 2012 Author #177 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Youngest DS wanted to be at Camp Carnival for some event by like 7:30, so as soon as I finished eating, I left with him & went to the cabin to change him into shorts & run him to CC. While I was gone, The waiters sang the song of the night, so oldest DS snapped some pictures while he was in charge of the camera. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meyer2 Posted September 13, 2012 Author #178 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Some of the dessert. Right after I made it back to the table from CC, the waiters sang Happy Birthday to oldest DS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meyer2 Posted September 13, 2012 Author #179 Share Posted September 13, 2012 I'm still loving your review - thank you for taking the time to post it! Your family looks like a great bunch! I'm sure the kiddos will have amazing memories of this trip for years to come! Love all of the Longhorn paraphernalia. In fact, I got that same burnt orange lanyard for DH! Hook 'em! Thanks so much!!! Yep, Oldest DS wants to be a Longhorn. :D My Brother that is an Aggie, doesn't want him to so much. Hahaaa! :p Loving the review!! Thanks for doing it. And if you don't mind me asking, how much were the build-a-bears? We're taking our girls on their first cruise next Sat!! Thanks & your welcome. I can't remember exactly, but around $20. Some of the clothing was a good price, they had 1 outfit that was $1! Some were around $7 or so. No spa balcony yet! We LOVE the coves but I talked DH into an upper level balcony next year. I loved the spa last November and plan to spend lots of time there next year. This year we are bringing the kids so I won't have all that spare time lol! Mom & I just upgraded to a spa balcony for January & we cannot wait! Yes, with the kids, we would have never been in the spa that much either, but this will be just Mom & I so we know we will. We will be on Deck 11, but I'll have pictures for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChristieDawn Posted September 13, 2012 #185 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Hi Christie. It was fun & yummy. No, there was not a charge & it is in the Fun Times, 1st sea day. I pulled my Fun Times from when we all went in December & it shows it too, so guess we just missed it. LOL! Yes, small portions, but perfect for some lunch/snack. Hahaa Thanks! I'll have to check it out in April!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davids68girl Posted September 14, 2012 #190 Share Posted September 14, 2012 So, Mom & I ended up meeting at the Prime Steakhouse for the cooking demonstration, starting at 11:00. We got there about 10:50 & almost didn't make it in. So glad we did, we really enjoyed this, we plan on going again. Appetizer was Mushroom Cappachino. OMGosh, I do not like mushrooms (Of course, the feature of this, LOL), but I loved this soup. It was sooooooo yummy!!! I'm getting so hungry just thinking of it. LOL Oooh! So glad you went to the cooking demo and shared! This is on my list of things I want to do in January! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meyer2 Posted September 19, 2012 Author #198 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Sorry guys! I promise, I haven't forgotten! I haven't been around much, I apologize. Lots more to come, I promise! Our 2nd towel animal. Our room steward liked setting the animals up sometimes. We went to the show after the men got back into shorts & after the show, we picked up youngest DS from Camp Carnival & we made a slow walk back to the cabin. Kids were tired & ready for bed. Tuesday morning we 'slept in' & met my parents at the Northern Lights MDR for breakfast, about 9:30. This was the 1st time we heard one of the comedians for the couple of minutes. I won't say he was bad, because, he really only talked about the upcoming comedy show for that night, so I don't know what his 'act' really was. Guess I started rubbing off on the kids.....They liked using the point & shoot camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meyer2 Posted September 19, 2012 Author #199 Share Posted September 19, 2012 After breakfast....We stopped by the Photo Gallery to buy our Embarkation photo, I always buy that one for sure. Then, back to the cabin to change & it's Waterworks time!!!! Kids heading towards the slides, they had been patiently waiting, LOL. Kids at the top, waiting to go down the orange slide. DD went 1st. DD in the tube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
