Big Oops!

I did the ultimate oops... I fell over in the pool...

HOLDING THE CAMERA!

I can't believe that I did this.

I was at the bottom of the slide, with the camera, waiting to catch Meredith, with my arms and with a snapshot. 
She had just shocked us with the announcement that she was going down the slide

BY HERSELF...

then she shot out of the slide like a rocket and I reached for her,
reached too far, and

splash
oops

I just can't believe that I did it.

We got the memory card out and the pictures are saved, but I'm not sure that I can say the same for the camera.  It's still catching it's breath from the dip it took. 
I feel so stupid - Just can't believe it...

****Sigh****

In other news, we have left our happy place in Naples and we are now at another happy place, Patrick's brother's house.  We are relaxing with movies, fishing, Xbox, more swimming, sleeping and being with family.  We have the rest of today and then get packed back up for our trip home tomorrow.  Our vacation has been so wonderful.  It will be hard to say goodbye. 

Lastly... tomorrow is my birthday.  My favorite day!!  Really - I'm crazy about my birthday.  Hee hee.  I get warm fuzzies when I hear the words June 9. They make me smile because I know that it's my very special day.  I have been known to sing Happy Birthday to me.  Silly, I know.  But once a year, maybe it's just okay to be silly.
