What a day, what a day. Today was the best day we've had and the worst day we've had! We started the day off with a wonderful breakfast at the Manor Restaurant. Then we layed out at the pool until lunch. We had a quick lunch at the Marketplace and got ready for our next tour...Tubing down the White River! If you ever come to Jamaica, please do yourself a favor and go tubing. It was the most relaxing, beautiful experience. But before you get to the White River, you have to take about a 45 minute ride through the jungle. Now that may sound like a fun, scenic ride, but the roads are horrible and filled with holes (not to mention the Jamaican driving!!) So we are about half way through the ride to the river when I tell Brad that I didn't think my stomach could take much more of it.....and at that exact moment, the driver says, "Ok, that was the best part of the road. Now it's going to be a little bumpy!" Haha. Not so funny. We finally made it to the river after about 20 more minutes. The water was crystal clear and beautiful! We were tubing down the crystal clear water with the jungle and wildlife around us and it was the most relaxing experience of our lives!! Until after two-thirds of the way through.....That's when it started raining. Not Alabama rain, JAMAICA rain! It's the rainy season here and literally when it rains, it POURS! It rained on us the rest of the way down the river and it rained HARD and COLD. It rained so hard, we couldn't even see!!! And when the rain let up a little, the guides told us that we were going to go through the 'flipping rapid.' So we all held on tight and went through it. Well because it was raining so hard, I had to close my eyes going down the rapid. While going down the rapid, I am trying my hardest not to flip over and then I feel a sharp pain across my right foot. I finally made it through the rapid and look down and my foot has a big bloody gash on it! And OH MY GOODNESS did it sting!! We finally made it to the end of our 'relaxing' ride and ran to the bus to get our towels. We headed back to the hotel all soaking wet. When we get back to the hotel, we get ready to go out to eat. For supper, we ate at a Western restaurant named Arizona's, where we dined on fajitas and nachos! YUM! We actually made it to 8:40pm tonight! Ha!

Well, your mom can be there tomorrow if you need her to be....to take care of your injury...Your poor mom has been in tears (tears of joy) for the last two days. Brad, don't laugh, your mom has been the same way. We are going out to eat with the Browns tomorrow night to have a drink or two to let the ladies talk and get the crying over with. Don't worry, they just love the two of you and are so excited they are just overcome with joy. Allison, your mom was reading the blog this am and she couldn't even talk to me because she was crying so hard. I read her the blog tonight and showed her the pictures and she walked back over to the couch and she was teary eyed again. She is so ready to see you guys and hear your voices so Sunday can't get here fast enough. I know that you guys are having a great time, please be careful. We love you bunches....Doug and Mom
we didn't go out to eat, Peyton had a ballgame and we both went to that because I haven't been to one. They were so cute hitting the ball and running around the bases. Well, we checked for an update but guess you two were tired to fill us in. Love you guys...Mom and Doug
