The Marine has landed

...or parked as the case may be. He drove from Camp Lejuene, NC and arrived yesterday evening. He is on leave for a week and we are thrilled to have him.

Blonde rascal has been taunting him on the phone all week, saying that the marine would not be able to throw blonde rascal into the pool. Blonde rascal had his swimsuit on, in anticipation, about 4 hours prior to the marine's arrival time!

The Marine threw blonde rascal, much to his delight, into the pool within 2 minutes of his arrival.

The Marine had just returned from a month of training in the Mojave, where most days it was 113 degrees, so he immediately put his swim trunks on. He said he had dreamed of pools while in the desert.

The wrestling began....
Then the cannon ball competition....
First up was blonde rascal, who while getting an A for effort and all around cuteness...his splash was minimal.



Meanwhile, the marine produced with height and form.

Resulting in some large waves.



Lastly, hubs who relied on ......ummmmm.... mass rather than form or height........also produced some serious wavage.

After 3 or 4 cannonballs a piece from those clowns and it was a veritable tsunami in the pool.

I was too busy photographing the event to participate. I would have been the perfect combination of mass, height and form. I would have out splashed them all. Uhhh-huhhh....just wait until tonight.

P.S....the best news. Our house in Lubbock SOLD yesterday!!!! Wooohoooo! BIG stress off of our shoulders! Thanks to all my family and friends who prayed! God answers prayers!
