Funny Conversation

We are on our way home from my staff meeting today and Zach starts busting up out of the blue. He begins to remind me of our trip to Catalina a few summers ago.

I took the kids to Catalina to visit friends who were staying over there. I needed some R&R. The boys and I went to Lovers Cove with our friends to do a little snorkeling. Once we arrived, Nate and Jax wimped out and wouldn't go in the water.
So, we buy the food to feed the fish, get our masks and snorkels on, and Zach and I head out into the warm water.
We get out there and this cove is teeming with Girabaldi. It was pretty cool.

So, I take out some of the food (that is supose to be in a waterproof baggie) and I feed some of the fish.
Somehow I forgot (no blonde pokes) that I had another bag tucked into my string bikini bottom (you know, that waterproof bag). I am trying to be nice and feed these little fishies and all hell breaks loose. To make a very embarrassing and long story short the fish absolutely ascended upon my lower half and I was beyond surrounded by them. They were everywhere. The water turned orange in every direction.

What do you think I did? Of course I did. I started screaming and frantically swimming toward the shore. I do something similar to that on land at the beach when a bee seems to hover right around me and won't go away. I am that girl running down the beach swatting at the air to try to outrun a bee who I am positive is determined to sting me and probably right on my butt!

Zach is cracking up as he watches me FREAK out. I can tell you that I was not laughing at the time but now I can laugh and we did just that this afternoon in the car together. It must have been pretty funny to see that! It is so NEAT that the boys NEVER EVER forget anything like that.

That was a great trip and I am looking forward to taking the boys to Maui in August. This time, no food for me in the water. I will simply observe and maybe I will learn how to scuba finally.

The house is finally quiet and I think I am going to get myself a bowl of Honey Nut Cheerios. They are so yummy! Hopefully I can watch something entertaining on TV.

Have the best night!

Love,
