the "uh huh" moment

being on vacation this week has been FUN! despite the monsoons we managed a great time at a few of the parks in orlando. best i would say was the simpsons ride- that we went on a few times. that and the hulk roller coaster. loved that.

today, being the day before a holiday weekend my illustrious job gives me half a day. and bobby had the day off which he was all too excited to go and see some new terminator movie that we both knew i would never see. this afternoon he asked if i wanted to go to the pool and do a little swimming. see bobby was (or i guess is) a really REALLY good swimmer. he doesnt do it anymore, much. so me, in much need of a tutorial (um hello 38 minute swim!!) said ok. here is a little of how that went:

(after swimming a bunch of laps with his instruction on my stroke and his chuckles at my flop turns - no that is not a typo)

Him: so how does that feel?
me: weird.
him: that is because you are actually swimming now.

OH.

he said "you swim like a seahorse. straight up and down. its now wonder you never get anywhere".

OH.

so with that i leave you with a few memories from our florida adventure. my FB friends have already seen these but perhaps there are still some of you left in the dark ages :) ha!

PS - thanks steph for coming down - it was GREAT to have you there!!

Yeah for flop turns. We've all been there. I loved your pictures - especially the one of you running from the T-Rex. Classic! :) Looks like you guys had a great vacation and I hope you're having a fantastic weekend!!!

You DONT swim like a seahorse! I mean, really, bc that means that we had a lane of seahorses in Tucson. Oh maybe that is why we had so many waves in the pool. HAHA! Great pics. The swim will come, I mean, if it didnt what would Jen have to "school" us on ...?! Dont answer that.
