Bill and I waiting for our number to be called to get off the ship.  Wes, Gayla, and Joel were supposed to be the number after ours, but they called their number too.
We were so happy when they let them on the shuttle boat with us.

Bill just leaving the food wash.  The sand is like powder and sticks to your feet.

The beautiful beach...Lots of lounge chairs

Joel, Bill and Wes went swimming.  Gayla and I felt the water and it was too cold.  Joel's face says it all.  They put ocean water in.  They drain it every day and put fresh cold water in it. Burr

It really touched my heart when Bill and Wes were trying to help Joel get out of the pool and these two kind men ran to help.  Then the guy in the pool came to help too.  A lot of kindness is in this picture.

The veterans on the ship.  They honored them.  The guy on the left of Bill is a World War II veteran and is 95.  He was such a nice man.

We met Wes, Gayla and Joel for breakfast on the upper deck.  I just ate oatmeal, grapefruit, pineapple, and melon today since there is so much food every day.  

Anything you could want for any meal!

After breakfast, we took a shuttle boat over to Half Moon Cay Bahamas.  It was real cloudy at first.  We each bought a T-shirt and then walked around. We walked down to the beach and waded in.  What a beautiful color and a great sandy beach.  There was no way to get Joel down there though.  We ate a great lunch provided by our cruise crew and sat in a pavilion to eat it.  Chickens roamed around while we ate.  We didn’t feed them any chicken ha ha.  We walked around sightseeing some more and then took the boat back to our ship.  Such a nice day.  Came back and lots of people were still on the Island, so we went up to pool.  We all helped Joel get sitting on the side of the pool since they didn’t have a lift.  Wes, Bill, and two very nice 

guys got Joel in and out of the water.  Joel was so happy!  Wes and Bill got in with him.  The water was too cool for Gayla and I.  We just relaxed in the loungers.  

Bill went to a veterans mixer to meet other veterans.  Nice that they do that.  I sat on our balcony and caught up on my blog.  

We ate a delicious dinner and then went to see a performance called Getaway Island.  There were four guys and four girls and they sang and danced in an island play.  They were amazing!  Went to Wes and Gayla’s cabin and played Skipbo. Gayla was the winner.
