Family Prayer-devotional 

I was up early, had prayer, showered, and shaved.  Debbie has a cold in her chest that is not getting any better, but she keeps going.  The children stayed up late last night and were slow getting up.  We got ready and all went to breakfast at the buffet on the 15th deck.  Izzy met us and we followed him to meet our guide for the excursions today.  The guide was a young lady named Michel.  Our first stop was the zip line. We rode in the back of a truck with seats to the top of the mountain on Roatan Island.   It took about 45 minutes to go through the course of 16 zip lines.  The children are so full of energy and life.  They were doing flips, forward and backward, going down the hill from the platforms.  It was a hot day and one of our two guides that helped was wet from sweat.  After the zip line, we visited a zoo next door to the zip line office.  They had sloths, whitetail deer, guinea pigs, and monkeys.  When we left, Michel drove the van and took us to the beach.  The restaurant at the beach was open and shaded.  I got a table so I could watch the children and keep shoes, bags, towels, etc.  I ordered chicken strips, and french fries, with ketchup and ranch dip and a drink for the children and was able to keep the table for the time we were at the beach.  Melodie and the children rode the banana boat pulled by a motorboat.  When we got back to our suite on the ship, Izzy had snacks waiting for us.  The children played laser tag and went rock climbing.  We had dinner at the Mason Jar Restaurant.   In the evening we had devotional and prayer before going to bed.
