They all play about for a bit, then the mexi-cats send out little
floats with various foods. Not being rude, they send things the
flipper families will like as well.

After a good meal, they all take a siesta, the warm water rocking
them to sleep...

While everybody slumbers, Francesca grabs a float and paddles out to
the young flippers and invites them to play tag. Francesca is
hindered by being on a slow-moving float, but her aquatic partners
take that into consideration.

After a thoroughly enjoyable game of chase, Francesca also heads back
to the beach, finds a patch of shade under an umbrella, and falls
fast asleep.

The flippers have a ball with their game of chase then the smallest one
inches in with Daisy-chan while a medium baby flipper curls in with
Cash. The hoods keep them from drying out and Cash and Iowna don't mind
wet legs.

A mommie flipper occasionally brings a mouthful of water to the little
baby and for once, Daisy-chan doesn't mind getting a little wet.

A mexi-cat brings over a plate set in ice and in a bowl by Francesca,
full of tuna. He looks out at Cash snoozing with a baby flipper and
sets up a tray of shucked oysters, fingerling fish, and smoked duck.
Then looking to Iowna, he sets up an iced place of fingerling fish,
scallops, romaine and endive lettuce, and some nibbles of her special
diet food.

As they wait for the guests to have a siesta, they take a short break
and play with the adult flippers and bring out foods.

The day lingers on.
