I had the interesting experience of chaperoning Abigail's girl scout troop the to Dell's last weekend. Ten tween girls, two hotel rooms, two adults, no soy lattes to be found anywhere in the resort complex.

Good times.

Anyways, soy lattes aside, it was rather fun. I always enjoy watching the kids interact with the friends. Isabella was invited to join Abigail's troop, and I liked having some time with just the girls. It seems like too often these days, I end up going places with just the boys since the girls are old enough to stay home alone together.

I spent a lot of time people watching since going to an indoor waterpark is pretty much a Geneva Convention forbidden form of torture in my opinion. Bizarre tattoos and swimwear aside, I really like people watching. I enjoy observing how people interact with one another. One of my favorite things was watching fathers with their young children by the water. Protective and fun at the same time would sum up most of the fathers. I particularly liked watching them around the lazy river. The way that the fathers would cradle their toddlers in their arm as they floated around the river in the tubes was heart melting. A professional photographer could get some wonderful photos there.

Truly, it made me long for Luis and my boys as I watched other fathers.
