Disney Cruisin'

 We headed off on our cruise bus and were announced as the ECKERT family as we entered the ship.  The kids got a kick out of that.

 Bobby took full advantage of the 24 food you could get on the ship.  One night about 7:30  he told me he wanted pizza.  The pizza wasn't available just then but not to worry....there was hot dogs and fries.  He ate multiple dinners when possible.

 Pirate night was great fun and the kids dressed up with outfits their grandparents purchased for them.  They loved the pirate show and acting like pirates.

 Emmy spent time at the Boutique and became a true princess again.  Then she and I headed to Moana the movie together.  She was so sweet to the many younger girls who actually thought she was Cinderella.  She took pictures with them, talked with them and smiled and made time for any littler girl who wanted her time.

  I got tickets to take kids to meet the princesses.  Bobby seemed to enjoy it as much as Emmy as they posed for pictures and spoke with the princesses.

We had our dolphin experience!  We kissed our dolphin Missy and they dolphins did some cool tricks for us.  We got to touch and pet them too.  Emmy and Bobby didn't exactly follow directions and they grabbed Missy's nose instead of just holding out their hands to get their dolphin kiss and so she splashed them in the face after the kiss.  Bobby splashed her back but Emmy was a bit concerned she had hurt the dolphins feelings.  The dolphins are smart and I think it was part of their way of playing.  It was once in a lifetime!
 We had a day at the Disney Island which was really fun too

 We had to kill 6  hours in the airport which wasn't easy.  We found ways to have fun and Bobby helped me pick out clothes at a store and also used his Christmas money to buy some light up shoes.  Poor guy got motion sick on the buy on the way to the airport (twice!) and threw up all over his clothes.  Luckily our luggage was still with us on the bus so I could change his outfit for him.  We were ready the next time it happened on the descent of the plan ride.  I caught the puke without it getting on him and in the airport we bought everything we could find for motion sickness!  He did better on the next ride.  The families sitting by us were so sweet to us and were attempting to help and little Bobby was such a trooper.  He would tell me after he finished puking, "I don't even care if I'm sick because I still have my family and I love my family"  Love that kid!
