Scouts in the Sunshine

Today from noon until four we were at Little Hills, a party ranch in San Ramon in the East Bay, at a Girl Scout fete for girls who sold 550+ boxes of cookies this year. It was hot. The Spouse and I (with a few other parents) found a picnic table up the hill and didn't move for most of the party--there was a breeze, and shade, and other than sauntering (slowly) down to the food tent to pick up salad and hotdogs and ice cream. The Girls, or at least our local girl, swam in the pool and ran around with her fellows (fellas?) and had a fine time. Me, I'm big with the tired, but did manage not to get sunburned. Avocado had a swell time, and we're not watching a triple feature of Indiana Jones movies to get prepped for The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull in a week. Gotta keep your eyes on the important stuff.
