12.19 Tuesday. Today we went to St. John's, Antigua. We swam with and interacted with wild Stingrays. The water was actually a little bit deep and in some places it was hard for me to even touch the ground. Plus it was chilly water. All of us got into the water. Connor actually had a little bit of a panic attach when the stingrays swam by and touched him though. He didn't stay in the water for very long and went back to the boat. Jason snorkeled with his under water camera. Kaiden spent part of the time with Jason and then went back to the boat. I did my best to try to find spots I could actually stand and touch the ground. I was able to touch/pet a Stingray named Sugar for quiet a long time while one of our guides was holding her in the water. The top surface is rough like sand paper, but their under side, which is lighter in color is really soft and smooth. We had fun and even Connor said he "kinda liked it." He gets scared pretty easily, but I'm proud that he was brave enough to spend some time in the water and did touch a few stingrays. Afterwards the boats take you back to shore for a fruit punch drink (spiked for the adults). On the ship we played soft archery, miniature golf- which Kaiden got a hole in one, Jason played a game of adult dodge ball and their team won and Jason and I went to an adult marriage competition show which was funny. Kaiden got the steak for dinner again and Jason helped him cut his steak and like every night stole a few bites of his steak.
