Swimming with the stingrays

We sailed for two nights and a day and looked out over the beautiful Carribean waters that were so huge.  We loved exploring the ship. We went on a tour of the kitchen and saw the huge amount of food they had to prepare each day

The first stop was at the Cayman Islands.  Here we hired a group to take us swimming with the stingrays.  Doug got to hold one of the stingrays and then I got brave and let them give me a back rub with their fins.  Grandma Shields even got into the water and explored the stingrays also.  We got back into the boat, but by this time Doug was getting sick.  We went to a another spot and got out to do some snorkling.  I felt bad for Doug because he was getting greener.  He finally fed the fish with the contents of his stomach and then he started feeling a little better.
