No problems, mon

In Jamaica, one of the most common phrases we heard was, "No problem, mon." In fact, it's such a frequently uttered phrase that the most common next statement is "No problems, just situations, mon."  Addie has taken to saying that now. 
The next day was just a water day. We beached and water parked. Nourie Grotto was in full force too.

 PopPop and Addie
 See Keri's big ole belly? So cute.
 The Activity Board said there was a soccer game that afternoon on the lawn, but when we got to the lawn, they were set up for a wedding (they do 4-5 per day!) so that was a no-go. Our Activity Staff friends decided to take us to the wedding gazebo lawn for our soccer game. It's still decorated from the earlier wedding! Addie enjoyed reading the married couples' program.
 There were probably 25-30 guests who showed up to play soccer. Aunt Danielle was the only girl.
 It was really fun to watch Brian play again!
 It was so popular that they actually had guys waiting to get in on the game!
 Scott was the first volunteer to let someone else sub in.
Afterwards Brian was quite happy.  
I don't have any other pictures from that day, but I bet we ate dinner and then swam or something.
It was actually funny because the next morning when we got up and dressed Brian put his dried swim shirt on and as we were walking he commented on something stinking. Then he thought it was him and we couldn't figure out why. All of a sudden he had an ah-ha moment when he realized he played 45 minutes of soccer the night before in that shirt. Up til that point I had hand-washed our suits each night and dried them on the balcony rack, but that night Brian just put his shirt out to dry. Lesson learned, believe me!! I actually took his shirt from him in the lobby and washed it in the bathroom sink on the main level of the hotel so he wouldn't be offending anyone!
