Two things of note: The girls won last night - yeah!!!!! So now the score is 5 to 2. On the other hand, I thought we were meeting John, Lana, and Kelly for breakfast tomorrow morning. Instead we were supposed to be there this morning. I felt so bad for the misunderstanding. We couldn't have done it today because of the move, but they had to drive for an hour to get to the location and then we didn't show up and it is John's birthday today! I hope that the breakfast was worth an hour's drive - we were very sorry to have missed seeing Kelly and wishing John a happy birthday in person.
We went to check out two new parks this morning. The first, Urfer Family Park, was small, but interesting. We saw 13 species of birds including two scrub jays (that elusive bird from yesterday). We also saw a snapping turtle sunning himself in the parking lot and a family of 5 raccoons across the pond. The second park (Rothenbach) was much larger, but less interesting - 4 species of birds including some white pelicans flying overhead and a good sized alligator. We drove into Sarasota and spent an hour at the farmer's market in the historic district where we grabbed a bite to eat.
Russ and Cathie have gone down to the pool and I will probably join them when I get the pics loaded.
