Before starting school, Caroline enjoyed attending gym camp at Zero Gravity. She wanted to polish her gymnastics skills, so she would be ready for dance.
Caroline also took a ghost tour where she learned about the ghosts of the low country. She had some great stories to tell when she came home.

It was nice to have all of Mimi and Dick Daddy's children and grandchildren at the party.
After a week at Sky Ranch, we joined Mimi and Dick Daddy, and celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary.
Caroline also really enjoyed one of the core staff who helped in her cabin, Chrisleigh.
Caroline's 2nd week at Sky Ranch, she stayed in the Loft. She made a good friend in Sky 4 - named Presley.
Caroline is pictured here with her favorite horse, Miss Texas.
On the last day of camp, Caroline performed on her horse. The program director said she was ready for Championship Rodeo Camp

It was a vacation we will never forget!
We had our hair braided, so we could keep the island "look" at little longer.
Caroline's friend Grace joined us at the Castaway Cay beach.
...and played on the waterside!
At Castaway Cay, we snorkeled!
Caroline and Cate enjoyed their appointments with a fairy godmother!
Ricky Kalmon, the hypnotist, was hilarious!
We saw many characters on board the ship!
We enjoyed going to the shows on the ship, including Aladdin, Wish, and Believe. We also enjoyed the juggler, and magician!
Back on the ship, we played the Midship Detective Game. Caroline also went to the Edge - where she met other "tweens".
They were so much fun - especially Desiree - the baby!
We played and swam with the dolphins!
On Tortola, we had a wonderful lunch, and played at the beach.
The next day, we docked at St. Thomas, one of the US Virgin Islands. We took a boat to the island of Tortola - a British Virgin Island. It was a little bit of a rocky ride!
The night ended with fireworks!
That evening...the ship filled with pirates!
Looks a little hot for me!
Cate was a good sport...
The water was perfect- clear and warm. Along the beach we found many cool shells to bring home.
We learned a little about the history of the island - which is half Dutch and half French. Then we wandered down to the beach for a day of relaxation!
We often enjoyed breakfast on the deck. After two days on the sea, this morning our ship had docked at the island of St. Martin.
We dined at 3 different restaurants - The Animator's Palate, The Enchanted Gardens and the Royal Palace. Each restaurant had special features during the dinners.
Even though it was a little late, we celebrated Barrow's tenth birthday. Our wait staff, Plamen, Saul, and Nikola made the celebration very special. They presented Barrow with a special dessert, sang, and played music with their kitchen tools!
We also cooled off in the Mickey and Donald Duck pools on Deck 11.
We tried out the Aquaduck - the ship's water ride.
Time to sail away...
Nana and Pops met us in Orlando - to see us off for our Disney Cruise.
