What: Micah’s farewell party.  We’ll miss you buddy.

Where: Hawksnest Bay, St John, USVI

Why: Because

Slip and slide on Hawksnest Beach Just missed They lugged up ocean water in a plastic trash barrel Micah contemplated his leave while everyone else slip and slides. They were spectators. Micah took a shot nap and then rejoins the crowd. He didn't go very far. Some of cactus Micah lounging. Oh hey guys Michael Keaton manned the grille, And prepped the food. For posterity. They were actually roasting marshmallows. It was a good turn out. There was a keg in the sand. And then some kids braved the slide. While others dug holes They didn't actually make it to the water. But they tried. Harry got buried.
