Wednesday in the Cayman's

Jamie and Casey became friends with a guy named Barron. He is the boat captain over the boats they use to go to stingray city so he let us go for free!!! It was so fun. When we first got into the water, the stingrays would come and bump against our legs. Supposedly that is how they say hello... We met a stingray named Frisbee because she didn't have a tail- I liked holding her the best. haha They name some of the more frequent stingrays, the ones they see a lot. Barron had one named Emily and she was his 'girlfriend' but after Gustav went through, she hasn't been back. So this one that we are holding below, was a new one that he had never seen before and he told me that I got to name her. I named her... October haha so if any of you go to stingray city and come across one named October, you'll know where the name came from :)

TJ holding a big ol' lobster. They are weird looking creatures. It was really neat to be able to catch one.



We stopped at the blow hole and something moving caught my eye and TJ picked up this shell and it was a tiny ferocious hermit crab! It was trying so hard to pinch him with its microscopic pincher's. It almost lost its shell trying to attack him. Apparently it didn't notice how big the rest of TJ was. haha

The last stop of the day was Rum Point. For some reason this was the most relaxing and beautiful place we stopped at through the whole trip. We stayed until dark so we could see the sunset, but just before that happened some clouds rolled in and we missed it. I got some really pretty before pictures though.
