"Families are as diverse as individuals. The activities they do together vary, but one thing is true for all of them: "In family relationships love is really spelled t-i-m-e, time." Whether family members get together for scheduled outings, sharing interests, or serving others, these gatherings strengthen relationships that can be eternal."
President Dieter F. Uchtdorf

Texts from the Cruise

Nov. 11th...
Dad:  Prageith is our waiter.
Me:  No....
Dad:  What would be the chances?
Me:  Well, right now I think anything could happen.
Dad:  Agreed!
(Prageith was our AWESOME waiter on the Disney Cruise 2007)

Later that night...
Dad:  His name is Grapeith.... thought he said Prageith.

Nov. 15th...
Dad:  Mom is doing GREAT!  Your prayers for her were answered!  WE snorkeled in Belize yesterday and zip-lined through the jungles of Roatan, Honduras today!  We played with monkeys and macaws in the jungle!  It was a BLAST!!!  We love YOU soooo much!
Me:  Mom did not zipline...
Dad:  Yes she did  and she loved it!!!  I can't slow her down!
Me:  U promised....
Dad:  Sorry, she is not listening to me!  I actually worried more about her during the snorkeling!  But she did great!  Tomorrow we take a boat out to stingray city.  It is not really a city, just a sandbar out in the middle of the ocean.  You get into the ocean and swim with and hold and feed giant stingrays!  We are then going to swim with the dolphins!  It should be really FUN!!!  Love YOU!!!
Dad:  Belize was amazing!  After snorkeling, we went to the town.  You can buy medicine without a prescription!  It was cheap, legal and the real thing.  I also got  mom a $5 backpack- a great buy!  It was really fun!

Nov. 16th...
Dad:  We just got back on the ship!  Today we were in Grand Cayman.  It was so FUN!!!  We went out in the ocean and swam with the stingrays!  You can hold them, pet them, kiss them and feed them!  We then went and swam with the dolpins!  It was AWESOME!  We held them, kissed them and rode on them and lots of other fun stuff.  Mom is doing GREAT and having a BLAST!!!  Love YOU!!!
Me:  Awesome!  That sounds amazing!
Dad:  So amazing!  I was just wishing you guys could all be with us!

I can't wait until they are safely home and we can see all the pictures and hear all the fun stories!!!
