Tomato Mystery - Solved

This evening I was putting the groceries away from a trip to the store. I was not happy when I looked at my newly purchased tomato and saw this:



I was disappointed that I had purchased a tomato and didn't even notice it was damaged until I got home. Then I looked closer and noticed the teeth marks. Teeth marks the size of a toddler...a toddler who does not like tomatoes. I guess he decided to give it one more try.

Mexican Riviera Cruise

We had a great time on the Disney Wonder. We cruised from San Pedro to Mexico and stopped in Puerto Vallarta and Cabo San Lucas. We stayed on the ship at each stop. We were enjoying ourselves so much on the ship and we had great views of the cities on-board.

These pictures are in no particular order. Captions below the pics.

Stateroom 5509.
Jonah slept in the bunk and Eli on the pull out sofa.


The Splash Zone. Eli spent his water time here enjoying his space.


Deck 3, entrance to Triton's Restaurant.


Eli - looking good for the dinner.
The dress code was primarily casual, a couple nights were more formal.


At Animator's Palate. Jonah proudly displaying his prized Lego Yoda Watch.


Dan and Jonah after creating a Dog in towel origami. Each night we were greeted with a new origami animal on our bed made by the Steward. This was an activity on Day 6. In the top picture, you may be able to make out the sea ray on the big bed.


Eli ready to plunder the Pirate Dinner.


The boys with Chip and Dale on Deck 9. Extra bonus: photobomb.


The family with Minnie before the Pirate Dinner. The characters dressed according to the dinner theme, e.g. Formal, Pirate, etc.


"Aaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!"


Jonah with a character from Lilo and Stitch. Jonah wasn't ready for a hug, this is as close as it gets with this one.


Animator's Palette on Dan and Haley's 8th Anniversary. Mickey show.

Dressed for dinner again. Waiting patiently on the stairs to the 6th floor.


Deck 10 - strolling. A very popular activity for us. Lots of exercise.
