Parasailing at Disney’s Castaway Cay

As we got off the Disney Wonder, my excitement grew about the possibility of parasailing during the day. It was something I was looking forward to the moment I knew we were heading to Castaway Cay with the Disney Social Media Moms Celebration. I knew of others that had tried it and loved it, and that night before, blogger friend, Janice Croze of 5 Minutes for Mom confirmed it. Her exact words were “Do it! Do it! Do it!”.

Because YOLO, right? I mean, what were the chances I would have another opportunity like this again? And it’s important to seize opportunities when they come your way. And how much fun would it be to fly above Castaway Cay?! This would be the first of many moments to celebrate my 40th birthday. I was pumped. I wanted my whole family to do it, but the twins were still too young and my husband stayed back with them (an truthfully, it was not a chore for him, as he is scared of heights).

But my oldest was considering it and I was thrilled! We headed straight for the excursion booth to find out the parasailing schedule for the day. We got the price and safety details.

“When can we go?” I asked.

“Now or at 3pm” was the answer of the coordinator. All I could think of was, if we wait until 3, my oldest might fret about it and back out, so I answered with “Ok, let’s do it NOW!”.

Right away, my son went into panic mode. But it was also filled with excitement and I knew if I helped him stay positive, we would have a blast. So, we signed up, paid, and gave our things to Papa MOE and the twins. Then we headed to the area where we were to wait for the small boat that would take us out.

We got the rundown of the steps to take from the lady that signed us up, and then two gentlemen took us out on the boat with two other women, who incidentally didn’t speak a word of English…

The two women went first, so we got the chance to see the steps we had to take in action. All was simple enough and it looked incredible. My son still had some worry but was clearly excited as well.

Now it was our turn. You be the judge on how much we enjoyed our experience:

My son said later, it was the best feeling he ever had. I am so glad I pushed both of ourselves out of our comfort zones. Sometimes, you just have to act on a good feeling, even if 80% of you is telling you not to. That 20% is almost always right. That gut feeling that takes you to another level with passion and force and happiness. That is was life is for!

I was so proud of my son, and I was so happy to celebrate this experience with him. I would do it again in a heartbeat. Who knows, maybe I’ll get the chance again. And maybe next time, the twins will be old enough.

How are you stepping out of your comfort zone today?

 

Disclosure: I was invited with my family to the exclusive Disney Social Media Moms Conference. As such, I was provided with various discounts and products. I was not requested to write this post. All opinions are honest and my own.

Love this! Great video! Looks like you had so much fun! I LOVE parasailing! I’ve only had the chance to do it once but that was also in Florida. What an amazing experience. I love the view of the ship from up high! Very cool! Way to go Mama!

March in Quebec, Canada. Do I look happy about it? March in Quebec, Canada. Do I look happy about it? My son has his ski goggles on so he can sled and not ruin his eyes! My friends in warmer areas across the globe, I will continue to enjoy your sun-shinning posts and wish for spring here! #ohCanada #fakesmile #getoutside

We placed them in poster frames in the basement for their ultra cool hangout. These simple projects can take a while (got the posters for them for Christmas) but they are so amazing when they are done. What movie poster would you put up? #mrsdoubtfire #harrypotter #ferrisbuellersdayoff #familymovienight
It's March. I mean, how? Haven't we been in March It's March. I mean, how? Haven't we been in March all year? 
My son took to painting and made this sweet little decoration for #stpatricksday out of a yogurt container. Do you celebrate St. Patrick's Day? With kids, it's fun to find any reason to celebrate. But I'm 1/2 Irish so this is a special day for us. To see a few ideas for little ones, feel free to check my celebrating section #ontheblog ☘
Pizza in all its homemade glory. If you had told m Pizza in all its homemade glory. If you had told me a year ago I would be making fresh pizza dough at home every weekend, I would have laughed. While I may have made pizza before, I can say now I've perfected it. Pizza for five, right on the cookie sheets like my nonna used to do. What is one thing you are cooking / baking now that you didn't before?
PS @montreal_mom 's dough recipe is pretty awesome.
Hey guys! I got a haircut! By ME. Yep, it's not pe Hey guys! I got a haircut! By ME.
Yep, it's not perfect. I don't have that awesome shiny finish the stylist puts on my hair to give it extra oomph but it'll do. I know we all have different versions of what we can handle. Truth is, I can't handle much else besides my boys being in school (I can hardly handle that). I still sanitize my groceries. I still keep my coat in the garage to air out. I have a system for things coming into the home. Do you judge me for it? Today is #pinkshirtday in schools. It is supposed to emphasize to children to be nice and end bullying. But guess what? If they see parents bullying - online and offline, this day won't really mean much to them. 
So parents, let's #bekind to each other. We are all doing what we can to stay safe & stay sane. Respect others, our kids are watching.
