Took the boys to the swimming pool at Knoebels Grove. Knoebels is one of the best amusement parks in Pennsylvania; possibly the country. Not because it has the best or biggest rides, but because it is free entry with both hand stamps and pay as you go. It is locally owned and run by the Knoebel Family. The park grows every year, with at least one new ride each season. It has no overall plan. The park is laid out as they go. Like - We have a new coaster. Where can we squeeze it in?
We went to the pool today. The boys rode the slides over and over and over.
I spent a lot of time people watching.
An old man with eyebrow hairs 2 inches long, pasty white skin hanging off a skeletal frame - Fat woman trying to hide here girth under to many flimsy skirts - girls that look 18 and are probably twelve showing to much "junk" - tattoos on men, tattoos on women, tattoos on kids (why would a parent let their daughter get 'porn tats'?) - a women in a powered wheelchair who had her husband(?) take her swimming - an elderly couple that held on to each other for balance as they waded into the shallow end - a young couple, with a young man trying to aggressively to fondle an uninterested young lady - middle aged men with more flab than I - middle aged men with less flab than I - fat little chubby kid screaming at his chubby momma and skinny dad in a fit because they want to leave.
I don't think America is as fat as the news wants us to believe. Yes, there were many over weight parents. And there were several chunky kids running around. More prevalent was the number of smokers. People smoking on a pool deck around others, including kids. I don't get it.
