Tampa swim meet


Now, I thought this hat was quite stlylish.  It was a Panama Jack hat and I thought for sure all those Floridians would accept me as one of their own when they saw me wearing it.

Laura and Emily having no problem on the plane



In the hotel pool these two goofballs kept trying to make hearts but just couldnt succeed....they were so cute
     Well, where else would you go when youre in Tampa?   The Tampa Bay Downs it was....you go to a horse track of course......we had several hours to waste.  We were going to go to Busch gardens but they scheduled a swim practice during the time we had planned to go....so it was off to the race track. See this horse, yes, the number 6 horse...DUKE OF LUKE was his name...he couldnt win...it was so cute that the girls liked him because they liked his name.  I scoured the sheets and it was cute that they sat there and would cheer him on.....I held my nose as I placed the bet for him as well as my stud...Well, of course he won and my horse came in a bit behind...OK, he came in last.  After the race Laura had the racebook to look at the names and she says "here daddy, you take the book so you can look at your ?statistics'." emphasis added to the word statistics...... Yes, there was a bit of sarcasm in her voice....


     Our breakfast fish....
     Here is the ump at the finish line...he's a natural
