Greetings Bolivar folks! We are enjoying a beautiful “lazy day at sea” today and the kids are relaxing in the sun and enjoying the activities on the ship. Our very own Matt Magana waqs crowned “Sexiest Man In The World” competition! Our performances went well this morning and our clinician was very impressed with the kids. Tonight we have the Awards Ceremony followed by a dance and a little later bedcheck. The kids continue to do a great job and all are doing very well. We have a little sea sickness but nothing major. Tomorrow we leave the ship at 8:30am and head to Orlando and Universal Studios Islands of Adventure theme park. We will leave the park about 6:00pm EST and make a dinner stop then start the long journey home.
Trips like these provide unique experiences and our kids enjoyed one special moment last night. Many of our kids have become very good friends with a group of Senior Citizens (70+) who think the Bolivar kids walk on water and are simply a joy. About 30 of the kids found them late last night in a restaurant and gave an impromptu concert. The tears were streaming down the faces of these Senior Adults as they were overwhlemed with the beauty of the sound and the music. Afterwards the reached in their billfolds and gave me $330 for the our program!! Needless to say we were shocked and humbled. In true fashion as we left the restaurant the kids were buzzing about the money and what we should do. One of the kids mnetioned we should give to the “Make A Wish Foundation” donation drive on the ship and today we made a $330 contribution to that cause. The crusie staff was most appreciative and very impressed. As I told the kids if you pay the blessings of life forward you will be rich beyond belief. Truly the highlight for those kids and myself.
Well off to get ready for dinner and begin the packing up process. Crossing my fingers for one more good night and then it is on to Orlando.
