Same breakfast routine, then to Lakes Park again because the girls wanted to rent a ‘surrey’ type bike, where 6 can ride with four pedaling. I also have wanted to do that for years, and it was as much fun as it looks. We rode for an hour, then they played at the playgrounds again. While there, they spent quite a bit of time ’babysitting’ 15 month old twin girls whose mother was happy to have them help. She was very nice, talked a lot to me and Diane - her husband is back to school to finish requirements for becoming an anesthesiologist. Again, we came back here for lunch, the girls spent the afternoon in our pool while Diane sunbathed. Late afternoon, took them back to their motel to get ready to go to Gulf Coast Mall to eat at Firepit. The girls wanted to go into the book store for awhile, but they are pretty tired, so that was the extent of shopping. This was their last full day here, flying out at noon tomorrow.

We went to the motel to have breakfast with Diane and girls again. Then to Lakes Park, took long walk there, girls played on the playgrounds. We all rode the miniature train (I have been wanting to do that for years, so finally had some kids along to make it look good!) We came back here for lunch, the girls spent the afternoon in our pool while Diane sunbathed. Late afternoon, took them back to their motel to get ready to go to Coconut Point Mall to eat at Ted’s Montana Grill. After supper, they did a little more shopping. Paige slept here again.
