Our last island of the cruise was St. Maarten (Dutch)/St. Martin (French).
My parents with the older kids:
Our first stop was to the French side of the island for the market, where there was a ton of super cute jewelry and souvenirs. Diamond was just thrilled to speak french with the locals.
After a morning at the market we headed to this amazing beach. You can see Diamond tossing a ball in the foreground.
Most of the trip had been spent on the Caribbean side of the sea. Beautiful beaches to be sure, but not much in terms of waves. In St. Maarten we were able to find a beach along the Atlantic with some great water. Here's my dad working with BB#2, teaching him to body surf in the Ocean.

While there wasn't the best snorkeling, we were able to find a school of angelfish and feed them some cereal. It was pretty incredible - the fish were eating out of our hands, swimming all around us, all slimy and wiggly. Very cool.
I was able to get some video of the fish:I think this is one of BB#1's favorite pictures. Ice cream at the beach? Doesn't get much better.
But I'm kinda partial to this one:
