MONDAY

Monday
ahhhh. Our last full day on the island and the best as well. We rented an inflatable dinghy from Noah's little arks from 9-5. The roads here are twisting and turning straight up the mountains so beach hopping by boat is ideal. We started our journey by heading to the farthest point, Waterlemon Cay. It is a small, mostly rocky cay known for it's snorkeling. We saw beautiful fish, lots of coral and both Scott and I saw turtles. Scott also had his first parent call during our lunch when Zach announced that he had to poop. Now the Cay is all of 20 ft and there are no trees and snorkelers everywhere. He very admiraly took Zach aside and dug a hole. Poor Z.

Next we headed to Anna point where we had seen a dive boat anchored. The water was a bit deep but I explored anyways while Scott and the kids stayed on the boat. Cole was very impressed with my scuba roll backwards off the dinghy. Coral was beautiful but not many fish.

Next, Scott tried snorkeling at whistling cay.

Then we popped into Maho for provisions- all of this snorkeling works up an appetite. I should mention too that Zach tried a mask/snorkel for the first time. He was so cute. He would only pop his head in long enough to see minnows but he was thrilled! He came a long way this week swimming and now to have both boys snorkeling was really a treat.

Our last stop was back to paradise aka Solomon beach. It is far and away our favorite and going by boat saves a 20 min hike. We spent our last couple of hrs playing in the water and enjoying the sand. We savored every min and took some final family pics before setting off.

Back on land, we changed clothes and Cole and I set off on a quest for shark tooth necklaces. We were successful and the boys wore them proudly. Dinner at Banana Deck, delicious Mahi and finished with a banana split.

Back at Maho (Zach passed out in the car). We read Harry Potter and listened to the sounds of the band playing echoed from the pavilion.

Oh, I should mention that we nearly hit a wild donkey on the road as we were driving home.
