Cate enjoyed playing in the kitchen, especially when she could make fancy desert treats.  She decorated fudge grahams to look like dominos, and took bags of the treats to the neighbors.

Cate and Caroline joined dad in his P90X yoga workout.

Cate and Caroline enjoyed taking an art class with Ms. Gerry. They painted, made collages, and wind chimes.

Cate ...and Mapache!

All of Mim's and Dick Daddy's children and grandchildren attended the party.

Uncle Dusty dedcided to start calling Cate by her middle name, Bledsoe.

After camp, we celebrated Mimi and Dick Daddy's 50th wedding anniversary.

We were sad for camp to end, but enjoyed visiting with the Williams before heading back to Ft. Worth.

Mom caught Cate on the way to the pool - with the cabin's spirit stick.

Cate made daily visits to the health center to see mom.  At this visit, she was dressed for opening show.

Time for Sky Ranch.  This was Cate's 1st year, and she was in the cabin 10 boom.  The theme was Super Crew.  She has a great time!

What a memorable vacation.!

During our sail back to Florida, Cate had her hair braided, in the style of an island girl.

We had a great time playing on the water slides. Afterwards, we headed back to the ship to watch the movie Brave, which had just been released into theaters.

Then we returned to the island to play on the beach.

At Castaway Cay, we went snorkleing.

Cate visited the Bippity Boppity Botique, where her fairy godmother fixed her up for the formal dinner.

We met Captain Tom.

We really loved watching Ricky Kalmon's show - as he hypnotized several fellow travelers.

We also enjoyed meeting the disney characters. Cate's favorite characters were Chip and Dale.

We solved several midship detective mysteries.

Back on the ship, we enjoyed the musical shows - Aladdin, Wish and Believe.  We were entertained by the juggler - pictured here, and a magician.

We played with the dolphins, lead the dolphins in their tricks, kissed them and let them kiss us, and went for a ride on their bellies!

We spent the afternoon swimming with dolphins!

The next day, we docked at St. Thomas, one of the US Virgin Islands.  We took a boat to the island of Tortola, one of the British Virgin Islands.  It was a little bit of a rocky ride, so Caroline and Barrow took a seat at the top of the boat. When we landed, we enjoyed a delicious lunch and played on their beach.

The night ended with  fireworks that we viewed from the 11th deck.

At the end of the day, the ship filled with pirates.

Looks a little hot to me!

She even let Caroline and Dad bury her in the sand!

Cate tried a little yoga on the beach!

We found a great place to play on the beach.

We learned a little bit about the history of St. Martin, which is half Dutch and half French.

We enjoyed having breakfast on the deck. On this day, our ship had just docked at St. Martin.

In the evening, we dined at 3 different restaurants - the Enchanted Garden (pictured here), the Royal Palace, and the Animator's Palate.  Each restaurant had special features that made our dining experience special.

We celebrated Barrow's 10th birthday on the trip.

There were 2 pools to play in - the Mickey and Donald duck pools.

We loved the waterside on board the ship - the Aquaduck.

Time to sail away!

The next day, we boarded the Disney Fantasy.  This is a display of the ship.

Cate and mom really liked to moving statue on display at Downtown Disney.

Nana and Pops met us at Disney's Caribbean resort.

Vacation time!  We took and early flight from El Paso and arrived in Orlando, Florida by mid afternoon.
