Today was exciting. We pulled into St Martin excited to start off the day on the flowrider! We thought our excursion didn't start until 10:45 am, so we were going to get our surfing in. We got our swimsuits on and were about the head out to breakfast when I asked Martin to double check our departure time. Lo and behold, we were to be at the pier at 8:15 am and it was 8:10 oops! So we quickly got ready, and ran out to the pier without breakfast. Oh well, at least we didn't miss our ZIP-LINE adventure! After about a 20 minute drive through the Dutch side and on to the French side, we finally made it. By the way, St Marten is the smallest island in the world to be inhabited by two different governments. Pretty fascinating. Anyhoo, we arrived to what once was the only rain forest left on the island. It was pretty and you could tell they really tried to take care of it. All over the place there were these birds that thought was fascinating. They are called Egrets. I took lots of pictures of them, but I won't bore you. Again, most of the pictures we took were on the water camera, but I do have a few.TARZAN!!
We should have put something next to this snail so that you could get an idea of how HUGE it was! They were all over! The kids would have loved this whole place. The ziplines were one of those places that we could really see our kids having the times of their lives. Oh well, maybe next time... :)
This is one of the last platforms and the last zip line. 
Another reason why the boys would have loved this place, there were lizards everywhere! True to Martin's fashion, he tried to catch this one. 
If you look at the right hand corner of the above picture (you can click on it to make it larger) you will see a boy on the last zip line. We had a lot of fun.
Right next to the snack hut, there was this bunch of bananas growing. It was fascinating to look at. I never would have thought they would look like that.
Martin wanted to try out his "survivor" skills. I think he could survive on a deserted island, don't you?!

How fun! I have always wanted to go on a zip line!
You guys look so happy...if only life could be like that everyday!
I hope you are going to enlarge that picture of Martin on the zip line and frame it somewhere in your home...that is perfect! Ok, going back to reading about the rest of your adventure...
Garity, it's funny you would say that about Martin's pic. It actually IS a bigger picture that we bought there, and then we took a picture of it with our camera! Good thinking! You have an eye! :)
Zip-it-de-de-da-day!!
haha... I am so hilarious.
Seriously, though.. what a blast!!!
Well, well. Martin when you were about eight and climbed the rope to the top of the gym (Matt too) having never climbed ropes before, and inventing your own style, I never thought I would see you actually use that method to climb a tree. Ammon take note.
