Scuba Steve wont come in the water past his ankles. Scuba Steve is originally from a small town waaayy up north Maine, that is very landlocked. Scuba Steve will pass on fish touching him, thank you very much. Scuba Steve used to be in the 82nd Airbourne and will be happy to come in if I parachute from a plane first, without Xanax.
Okay, stand on the shore, but Brother's wife is coming up behind you. Screaming.
For Brother.
Brother had made his great escape. Brother's wife can't and wont swim. He & Waldo were gone.
Brilliant idea because everyone looks the same, face down, yellow suits or vests, snorkeling along. He could have warned the rest of us tho...
I think this is payback for the grasshopper incident.
After about 10 seconds of listening to Brothers wife scream from shore for Brother & Waldo, Scuba Steve decided the fish were a better bet.
He just didn't want anyone to know she was in our group.
Oh, later the entire park will know. This park and the rest of Florida. I'm not sure if we will be allowed back.
Beatlebum was in her glory. You haven't heard much about her because she’s shy and she is usually standingthisclose to me at all times, watching the action. This was her big day. I was so happy for her. She has said for about 3 years now that she wants to be a marine biologist when she grows up. This was the land of paradise for her.
Missing: Brother & Waldo. Last seen by Scuba Steve who is standing behind them in sunglasses.
Dh would only come in up to his waist. The fish were still swimming too close to him, and he wasn't liking that one bit. Brother's wife was still screaming for Brother & Waldo. People were pointing, staring and whispering behind their hands. I saw them, yup.
Dh wanted me to do something, but with the bathing suit and vest on, I couldn't moon him. Why does my family think I possess magic powers and can fix all these stupid problems? You do something, I told him, and he did.
He left.
Love ya, mean it.
So I am stuck with the screaming fool. I went back up to shore to find out what she needed. She needed to eat. That actually sounded like a pretty good idea to me.
Right behind the life guard stand they have a box. It contains life vests and those long, floaty, life-saving, stick things. I am not much of a swimmer, and I felt stupid wearing a life vest, so I grabbed a long, floaty, life-saving, stick thing and ventured out to find my crew, Brother, and Waldo.
Brother's wife needed to eat, and sticking something in her mouth might get her to shut up.
Finding my crew was a piece of cake. Brother & Waldo were trickier, they were hiding out and saw me coming so they swam in another direction to avoid me, directly into Commando Nikki.
Ha-ha. Love ya, mean it.
We gathered together in the middle and I told Brother it was time to eat. He said "No, not going back there, I live here now." Waldo nodding his head in agreement. I told him it was his wife, not mine and it was time to go eat. I had him by the arm and was trying to drag him to shore and he...
took my long, floaty, life-saving, stick thing. I started to sink.
Commando Nikki swam down, grabbed my arm, brought me back to the surface and told Brother "We need her! She has all the money!"
Oh, so the truth comes out! They don't wait for me because they can't go on without me, they wait for me because DH isn't allowed any cash! (I refer you back to the drivers license.)
Nice family I have here.
I convinced Brother & Waldo to come to shore and eat with us. How? I threatened to call mom. I have a cell phone and am not afraid to use it. Surely mom would be on my side.
So he, Waldo, Commando Nikki and I swam back to shore to eat and then....
Things got really weird.
