Day 6 Maho one last time and Skinny Legs

[FinsUp]

So here we are, at the dreaded end of our stay. So sad to see this day come but are determined to make the most out of it!! So, another beautiful day at Maho one last time.

I mentioned previously that Flat Stanley was a nice addition to our trip. He forced us to do things that we just don't normally do. For instance, in the previous 3 visits to the island, we never stopped at the overlooks to take a photo op. I know, crazy but we pass by them on the way to the beach and don't want to miss out on the perfect parking spot and by the time we leave, the Fins are spent and don't want to take another minute getting to the villa. Well,Flat Stanley needed a photo so we stopped this time

The weather was absolutely perfect for our last day and the boys did not waste anytime getting to work. This time they ensued the help of the master engineer to help with the sand castles

Loving the reports , your boys are adorable ....

[silverheels]

Thanks for the wonderful reports. Loved keeping up with your family day by day. The boys are adorable, especially the one with the Red Sox hat. Skinny Legs is one of my favorite places too.
Enjoy your trip in November. I'm sure the boys will be disappointed that they are not going.
How did you ever carry all that construction equipment?

So fun to read about your trips with your kids!

[FinsUp]

Thanks guys!! Silverheels-they carry it on themselves. They are in charge of their own carry on and what goes in it and that is what they choose
