Wipe away those tears, everyone! Just because Jay left this morning doesn't mean the fun pictures and witty comments on the day's events has to stop! He left the blog in the trusting hands of the coolest member of the Chapel Choir, Tracy Moore!
After days of singing, it was safe to say we kids were pretty exhausted. Luckily for us, today was the first of two "free days" in a row. We got to the church early in the morning and headed straight to the beach. Sunscreen was sprayed on quickly, and we all took off towards the long awaited ocean. The sand was brutally hot underneath our feet, but nothing felt more refreshing than the cool waves.
As always, the boys set up a game of Spike Ball that ended up lasting about 8 hours. Others spent the day body surfing, tanning and making each other into sand mermaids. On the bright side, not a single one of us got burned today! (Did I mention it's opposite day?) As expected, pretty much everyone will be going home with at least a slightly pinker completion.
After a long, tiring day out in the sun, we headed to the Golden Corral for some five star cuisine prepared by some of Florida's top chefs. With a chocolate waterfall, swirly ice cream and enough cotton candy to feed a carnival, we decided we'd had enough nutrition for the night and headed back to the hotel after a quick stop at Ron Jon's Surf Shop to load up with Bro Tanks for the rest of the trip.
Before bed tonight, the Aloe Vera will be lathered on and sunburn moans will sound from every room. Tomorrow we will wake up early and head to Orlando for an all day trip to Islands of Adventure. More like Islands of We Will Get Even More Sunburned.

I don't mean to complain, but I never see any pics of the chaperone who has been on nine tours. I just wanna make sure she's really on the tour... LOL!
Great blog Tracey, Thanks for taking over!
