PROJECT 365- Day 231 - Further proof that 41 is the new 8

My Wonderful Husband is very in touch with his inner child.  I jokingly tell him that 41 is the new 8.  Today he offered further proof that that is true.  While at the water park today and on the flow rider with the kids, I saw him watching the tricks that some kids were performing with the boogie boards.  I admit the said tricks were very cool - these kids were not only getting up on their knees on the boards but flipping over and landing on the boards, sliding the boards out, riding the water up and catching the board again, and of course the classic splash move using the board to make a wave.  Very cool.  My Wonderful Husband let the kids go first, rooting them on from the sideline.  But I knew that he was just bidding his time until his turn to try out the cool tricks he just saw.  I was further convinced of his train of thought when our actual 8 year got his turn and was also trying to recreate the tricks he just witnessed.  (Because if I haven't mentioned this before, I am pretty certain that our 8 year old son is sharing a brain with his dad lately....)  So, as I said, the kids went first.  The Bear did awesome - got up on his knees and even did the splash trick.  The Boy also did great - he attempted to do the splash trick and didn't shed a tear when he wiped out.  The Princess did great as well - although much more like her mom, did not not attempt any tricks.  (I did not do the flow rider this time - instead I chose to watch everyone and that is how I knew what was coming....)  So, when it was his turn, My Wonderful Husband had no problem getting up on his knees on the boogie board.  He even seemed to master the splash trick which was cool.  Then I saw the look...
"Should I flip?" he asks...
"You are 41 you know..." I tell him knowing full well that more than anything I just issued a challenge.  And then he flips.  He goes on to do several 360 degree flips on the board and I am not going to lie - it was pretty cool.  So if we needed further proof that 41 is the new 8, there you have it. 
So why is the picture of the day his thumb on an ice pack you ask?  Well 41 may be the new 8 but his body doesn't always get that memo.
