Anika asked if we could please have a very fun day today so that it could go by very quickly, so that we could go home sooner, because she is homesick.
I wanted the day to feel as long as possible!
We had a picnic in the park, and it was the most beautiful day ever.
After lunch, we played on the play structure for a little while.
Then my mom took Kaylia home for a nap while the rest of us went for a walk. It worked out well, because the stroller would never have fit on the little bridges we walked over, and if we would have let her loose, Kaylia would have run right into the water with the supposed alligators, which we did not see. Safe in a playpen, fast asleep, was the best place for her!
But the rest of us had a great time. We toured a swamp. We saw what Florida used to look like before people moved in and made it more liveable.
I’ve always loved these little bridges and paths.
After the park, we made a couple of trips to the pool, and packed up. Tomorrow we fly home. I’m sad, but I miss my house. And I’m ready for Christmas, and Christmas must have snow. So back to the snow we go!
