I'm frustrated because we have almost no camp photos, but thought I'd post a few that were taken on our vacation a few weeks ago.      The first picture is Emily at lunch on the ship.......one of her favorite places!! The 3rd is what I'd call "Self talk at it's best"!!!!! Emily's number one favorite thing to do that week was to go onto the balcony outside our room and talk nonstop to herself. This pic was taken thru the window, so she didn't know we took it. I have no idea what the people on the balconies next to us thought! The 2nd pic is Emily on the beach in Jacksonville Florida on our way home. Going to Jacksonville to collect shells is something Terry and I love to do. The kids always act bored with it all and rush us............this time, they helped us find shells and didn't say a negative word. WTG kids!!! The last two pics were taken in Grand Cayman at Sting Ray City. We had a great time there! |

WOW, she is all grown up, the second photo of her is great, Matthew said, "She's pretty is going to be at the get together" I said she sure is.
Im not sure I would have gotten in the water with the sting rays but looks like you all had a great time.
Glad the kids let you get some shells.
See you soon

Great pictures, Susan!! I especially like the one with Emily out on the balcony because that's what's so familiar to us!! It looks like she was looking at one of those teen magazines - that's neat! I can't wait for Ashleigh to meet Emily when we go to Gatlinburg!!
Next time you guys are in Jacksonville, maybe we could meet for dinner or something?!?! That's a little less than an hour from our house!!
Oh, that is very cool you guys went swimming with the stingrays - very cool - I know you guys had a BLAST!!

We were told, and lol we chose to believe, that THESE sting rays were a totally different "breed" than the one that killed Steve Irwin. This area; Sting Ray City is an area where fishermen used to park their boats and clean their fish....with the yucky parts of the fish being tossed overboard. It attracted many sting rays who loved to eat that stuff. So, they began to come and STAY there on this sand bar. (Looked almost like a swimming pool with the softest white sand on the bottom). So, now all the tour groups go there and hand feed them squid. They literally suck them out of your hand. I'd love to do it again!

Wow  They are really good picture's, It looks like you all had a brilliant time. Emily looks beautiful and so grown up. My daughter Paige was interested in the pictures of the sting ray as she just went on a trip to the London Aquarium last week and got to stroke one, she can't believe you were able to swim with them, thats amazing!

Really cool pics Susan...Emily is sooooo grown up and pretty...you should be proud of her.
Looks like a fun trip...but gotta ask...in the first sting ray pic...who does that "extra" hand belong to...hope he was not inside the sting ray...............
