Day 7: Castaway Cay

Back for a second visit to Castaway Cay. It was so beautiful today. This morning started with a fun character breakfast at Parrot Cay. (great photo op) Then my sweet girls humored their mom and let me pose them for a Christmas card picture- this was the one (out of the 40 or so I took) They're so patient with me :)
After the picture "torture" we let the kids go play at the beach camp activities and us adults headed for Serenity Bay. It was soooooo quiet and soooooo beautiful. We were there for about 4 hours- no pages (happy kids off playing). We snorkeled- saw gorgeous fish, collected shells and then Shari and I rented rafts and just floated forever- until we realized we were WAY out and had a long, long paddle back to shore. We had lunch on the beach again- so beautiful.
It was so hard to leave Castaway Cay- especially because this was the end of our cruise. We were standing on our balcony of our room looking out at the island and there was a rainbow- so picture perfect- so Disney (but it was real).
The last show was great. Then the kids went to activities while we packed- so sad. The girls said goodbye to their favorite counselor- Hayley Jo. This was an amazing vacation we will never forget!
