Thursday, Jamaica

 Five of the seven of us had a great day in Jamaica.  You can personally call and ask Dad and Jim how their day was, but the rest of us had a grand, safe and adventurous time!
 We chose to do the Dunns River Fall excursion.  You basically climb up a 900 foot waterfall.  It was totally rainy that day but it didn't really matter.   We were going to get drenched anyway.  We couldn't take pictures during the climb because....we were climbing.  So these are our "Happy We Made It" shots.  I have a new best buddy named Tyler though.  His wife was pregnant and couldn't do the climb so he helped me all the way through.

 After our climb, we got to go the Dolphin Cove.  We got to see dolphin trainers at work.
 We got to go on a cute jungle hike.
 We even found the tarzan ropes. 
 They had several cute places you could stop and take pictures.  The iguana was one of them. 
 The snake was NOT available today because it had just eaten and needed 2 days to digest.  I asked what they fed it and they said, baby chicks.
 We went around the corner and saw..the next set of baby chicks!
 The love bird pen was just filled with those cute birds.  They landed anywhere and everywhere.

 Another bird photo op!  The workers were just so cute.  They would set all the birds up and then take as many pictures as you wanted with as many cameras as you had.  Then, they didn't even ask for tips.

 Shirlene and Dale seeing the SNAKE sign and not wanting to go any further!
 Petting the starfish.  These guys had never touched ones that were alive.


 They had a shark show.  It was pretty legit.  At least this pirate was almost "too" real!  He was on the spooky side.
 Here are the shark show boys.  We are pretty sure they had been drinking the Jamaican Rum before they did the show.  They were pretty animated, but we were very entertained.
 A man was making cute hats out of palm leaves.
 Here's shark boy with his shark.  Good news....he didn't get eaten!
 We even had time to do a little shopping.
 Shirlene and Brian with their Jamaican bags.  Go Bob Marley.
 That night we had another formal supper.  The special of the night was escargot.  We all ate it just to gross Jim out.

Here is our waiter dancing on the table.  By now we had grown to really like our nightly dinner entertainment.
