jenseib Posted May 21, 2011 Author #251 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Definately Cinderella - However your pic of the princess walking down the stair case - snow white almost looks animated in it. Very cool picture. I am happy your computer is back and is happy hopefully. Have a great Friday.. I'll have to go back and look at that picture!

jenseib Posted May 21, 2011 Author #253 Share Posted May 21, 2011 That was fun…we had seen all the Princesses….or had we? Wait, ……What do I see? I look up and see ANOTHER Princess up on the next deck having a Meet and Greet as well. It’s a must do for us, so we hike up a flight of stairs and get in line. I took a few shots while we waited. This is the Vista Café, tucked away in the corner. And then it was our turn to visit one last Princess. She did a few Swirls for us! Princess Minnie!!!!!

jenseib Posted May 21, 2011 Author #254 Share Posted May 21, 2011 And the Photographers After all the Meet and Greets it was time to get the Detective card so Claire and Mom could start a new adventure. Claire WAS NOT going to let us forget about this at all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenseib Posted May 21, 2011 Author #255 Share Posted May 21, 2011 We now had our card in hand and activated. We had found that you could only activate a card to do this at certain times during the day…but I “think” you could do the actual adventure at any time of the day once you had the card. We also grabbed a map of where each picture was for the mission. There were 2 to choose from and Claire and Mom decided on one they wanted to do. The card would work for both though. Here is a copy of the map. I don't remember if there were 2 separate maps for the 2 missions, or if it all went off this one map. Since I wasn't involved, I really don't know too much about it. This was the only map we brought home though. The map is also much bigger than my scanner, so this is what you get. LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenseib Posted May 21, 2011 Author #256 Share Posted May 21, 2011 One more thing had to be done before they went off though. We needed lunch! We hadn’t eaten since breakfast, and Claire hadn’t eaten much then. She griped a bit, but gave in when we told her there would be no mission unless she ate something. We headed to Cabanas to find that they had very little out at that time of day. There was enough to make Claire happy though and I filled a plate for her. Mom went off in search of the fast food services. She came back shortly and said she couldn’t find them, so I left her and Claire and went and looked. They were quite a ways down…on the other side of the pools. I got a plate of a few items for Mom and I and headed back. It was all decent food. I don’t have a picture of the wraps we had because they were so good we both gobbled them up immediately. After we ate, we headed back to the room once again. Mom told me that she did talk to Dad (she had phone service in the Bahamas) and that he did make it to his sisters house. He was frazzled, but made it. He told her a bit about his day so far. My cousin and her family were also visiting and he said they had all left to go to the beach for the day, so he and my Aunt and Uncle were spending the day together. I decided to stay in the room and get cleaned up while Mom and Claire went off on their mission…well actually Claire told me I wasn’t even allowed to come. LOL! She said it was something special for just her and Adda! (Pronounced Odd-ah…that’s what the kids call my Mom). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenseib Posted May 23, 2011 Author #263 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Before Claire and Mom had left, I realized that the “gift” and “note” of the day had not been left out that morning. So I quickly just flopped it on the bed and told Claire I saw something. She was surprised to see it in the afternoon, but happy. Here’s the note. I can’t remember for sure what the gift was, but I think it was a package of Disney Princess underwear. She’s very picky about her underwear. You have to have a Princess on your butt at all times! I think she even wore a pair after her bath that day. While Mom and Claire were off solving mysteries, I decided to turn my laptop on and try to upload some photos. While the laptop was starting up I went out on the verandah and took some pictures of Atlantis. This was another one of the “shots” I wanted to get. I played with some settings and then some editing too. And this one is probably my favorite, though not perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenseib Posted May 23, 2011 Author #264 Share Posted May 23, 2011 So I cropped it. And this is what I wanted to get! And then I took a picture of these guys doing some work. And remember that light house…you didn’t think I was going to give up getting a shot I liked, did you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have just learned to buy mostly princess stuff now, so we don't have to fight about what is on her fanny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for reading. It's so funny how picky she is about some stuff, and there there are days where I wonder where she comes up with her idea for "matching" clothing.

Just because you like two different garments, DOESN'T mean they match! :rolleyes: Yep, got that same thing going on here too...if any 2 pieces of clothing have any bit of pink in them, they match! She's our youngest, and a tagalong at that, I learned long ago which battles to choose. :D but I still want a button she can wear to school that says "I dressed myself today!":p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claire is my youngest as well. Her brother is 22 and her sister is almost 19, so Claire gets pretty spoiled at times. Yes, I know what you mean about picking battles. Sometimes my Mom wil lask why I let her wear a princess dress to a restaurant for lunch, and I just tell her, why fight, she's only young once. It won't be long till she's outgrown it.

jenseib Posted May 23, 2011 Author #273 Share Posted May 23, 2011 How long were the lines to visit each princess? and how early did you go? There is one line to visit all the Princesses. I think we arrived about 15 minutes early. I wouldn't arrive any later than that. By the time they came out, the line had gotten very long.

It won't be long till she's outgrown it. You are right about that. My (almost) 9 year old granddaughter already thinks she is too old for all things princess. But that doesn't keep her from being SUPER excited about our Dream cruise in June :) At one time she would have loved to dress up as a princess on the cruise, but now she and her mom are "discussing" whether or not she should even wear a dress to dinner--she thinks her dresses are too "scratchy", even if they don't have anything in them that COULD be scratchy:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the past it wouldn't even have mattered. She also didn't want to keep the dresses on as long this time either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
