Our family cruise, Magic 8/19/12 w/pics

[Buckeye Cruizer]

I just found this review today and really enjoy it. So glad to hear that your oldest is doing so well. What a wonderful cruise you will have to celebrate!!

[pghsteelerfan]

I don't know you or your family but read your review (and I think one previously - enjoyed both) and posted prayers when I heard this news. I just want to let you know that I'm so happy to read your post that things are going well for you son and will continue to keep your son and all of your family in my prayers that things continue to go well and that you'll have many more family cruises together.

Wow!! I pray for your son. I read through your review and thought was great cute kids you have.

[Meyer2]

Thanks so very much, I really do appreciate it. We are busy tomorrow, but on Monday, I plan to finish up this review. It will have to be more pictures than details, as I'm afraid I have forgotten some of the smaller details & I didn't write in the journal with this one. :o

[4hunters]

Amen! So glad to get the great news. :)

Thanks so much!!! We are very happy for sure! He is proud to stay he is a Survivor!!!

 

 

I am trying to upload the pics to post for continuing the review, but Photobucket is giving me problems. Hope to be able to post some tonight.

[Meyer2]

Okay, I give up on the pictures for tonight. :( I'll try again in the morning or find a different way to post them here than what I've done in the past.

Krystin, we were on this cruise with you and your family..I am sooo sorry to say that I had no idea you guys were going through all of this!! We will definitely have you in our prayers for Tim's continued forward progress! I remember how excited you guys were as you planned his birthday celebration right before the cruise!

 

Having lost a child ourselves, and then undergoing a very serious, rare medical condition with our oldest son when he too was 14 (and many, many hours spent at Texas Childrens with both of them) and two younger kids at home while our son was hospitalized, my heart goes out to your entire family!! Our then 14yr old son is now a married 26 yr old with a bright future...our thoughts and prayers are with you all and continued positive vibes for Tim's future!! Bless brave Kameron and big hugs for Mom, Dad and sister too. It takes an entire family, keep on keeping on!

OMGosh, Your family has been through so much too. I'm so thankful to hear your son is doing well now. We LOVE Texas Children's & feel so Thankful to live close enough to easily receive treatment there. Thank you so very much.

Thank you!!! Your girl's will enjoy the Magic for sure.

Okay, I *think* I finally figured out what Photobucket was/is doing. It's strange & not like normal, but hey, at least I found where it was putting the pictures I uploaded & all. LOL! Here's a few more tonight & will be adding many more tomorrow! Enjoy!

 

These are still taken on our tour with Victor Bodden in Roatan.

 

Kameron, being the clown he is. Love it!

Wow, what a review!! We won't be on the Magic, but it will be my kids' first cruise, so it's so great to see a cruise review through the eyes of children....what foods are available, the build-a-bear, the excitement on their faces. I've been hanging on every word/picture! Then I got to the part about your oldest boy. Wow, I can't even imagine what you and your family have been through. I'm so glad to hear that he has recovered and all is well again! I look forward to seeing the rest of your review :)

Next stop was for the Monkeys. We have called our kids our monkeys since the youngest was born. And Kameron has become our kid to love monkeys the most & so of course, we couldn't miss the monkeys here in Roatan.

 

 

We didn't do the zipline this trip, but will next time, but this shows part of the area near the front.

Monkeys:

 

 

Our guide was tickling the monkey here. It was so cute & the kids got a huge kick out of it.

Good review

[Crusin Karen]

Continued good wishes to your son and your family. Enjoy the countdown for your family celebration cruise. You certainly deserve it! Isn't Texas Children's Hospital where Dr. Jen Arnold from the tv show (Little Couple??) practices??

[pamelab]

It is only offered on the Dream class (Dream, Magic, and Breeze).

 

 

Do they have these on a Balcony? We are looking at Dream or Magic. We don't want a suite. Thanks!

[Meyer2]

Thank you!! Yes, it sure is!! We love TCH!

Sorry, no balcony for those rooms. We have always had a balcony, but we wanted our family all together in one room for this cruise, so that was our trade off. :)

[Meyer2]

More monkey pictures.

 

 

Toucans.

 

 

I'm sorry this one is out of focus, I wasn't as ready as I thought for snapping a picture. LOL.

 

 

And then the monkey jumped on me. He liked the camera flash I think, LOL.

 

 

Then he headed to my Mom.

 

[Meyer2]

He liked sunglasses too, LOL.

 

 

Hubby's turn.

 

 

Kameron's turn.

 

 

Shelbie.

 

 

[Meyer2]

Timothy.

 

 

This picture was taken as the monkey jumped back on me, LOL.

 

 

Holding on to Timothy.

 

 

Messing with my Dad's feet.

 

[TheGirlNextDoor]

My DH and I played with those same monkeys in September. I couldn't get over how playful they were.

[Meyer2]

And remember when I said the monkey liked sunglasses too.......

 

 

We were cracking up after he finally got the sunglasses down, the monkey didn't take them though.
