Day 2 of Disney Dream Vacation: February 6, 2012

 Happy Birthday Sheila!  Not many kids get to spend their birthday on a cruise.  After the kids went to bed the night before we decorated their room with a Rapunzel banner that said "Happy Birthday" and some streamers.  We also put out two cards and 4 little presents we had saved out for her.  I didn't get a picture of the room.  Before breakfast she opened her gifts. She got two more Lalaloopsy dolls, a Tangled book, and a Princess outfit.
 Also that morning I got up early and went out and sat on the verandah.  We weren't in port yet.  It really was peaceful sitting out there with the sun just coming up.  We went up t breakfast at the Cabanas buffet.  They had a pretty large buffet bar and by 7:30 it was crowded.
 While we were at breakfast we got into port at Nassau.  Here are some views from our room.
 That is Atlantis in the background.  Someday I would like to go there too.
 This is the Allure of the Seas, one of the largest cruise ships in the world.  It was in port next too us.  Ray wants to go on that ship someday.
 This is the chandelier I was talking about it in the last post.
 And this is a view of the Atrium from Deck 5. We stayed on the ship that day.  We put Kimberly and Joshua in their babysitting services.  (The babysitting service for kids 2 and under was not free but worh it.)  We took the older kids up to Deck 11 and went on the Aquaduck. Timmy wanted to go again (with Daddy since he went with me the first time) but Sheila just wanted to go to the Mickey Pool so I went in there with him.  I was significantly grossed out by a kid with a very large booger hanging out his nose and got out.  I watched from the side until it was time to get the other kids. We had lunch at the Cabanas as well.  Then we dropped Timmy off at the Oceaneering club.  We wanted Sheila to go in there to so we could take the other two back for naps.  But Sheila wasn't feeling well and wanted to nap too.

Poor Timmy.  We never got a text saying he wanted us to pick him.  Ray finally went to get him about an hour before dinner so he could get ready to go with us.  Ray found him sitting at a computer crying.  He didn't know he could tell someone he was ready to go and also had an accident.  We didn't put either kid back in the club after that.  He would have been better if Sheila had been in there with him but he is shy around strangers.  They later told me they both liked the club.  Oh well, they had fun with us the rest of the time.
On our way to dinner we saw Mickey and Minnie. Sheila wouldn't take the picture with us.

We also saw Daisy Duck before dinner.  We put Kmberly and Joshua in babysitting for dinner. 
We had dinner at the Royal Palace.  The bread baskets were so cute.  The food was okay but French and I found out I really don't like French food.


The servers came out and sang to Sheila for her birthday.  She got a chocolate cake, which she doesn't like, but she did like the chocolate Mickey Mouse faces and the piece of chocolate that said Happy Birthday.

Our towel animals that night was an elephant on our bed and a stingray on the kids bed.  The stateroom host would use the kids sunglasses and also he arranged their stuffed animals and blankets on the bed too.
