I noticed the first Weird Thing about Greenhorn Ranch twenty minutes after we arrived and wandered into the pool area for a pre-dinner swim. There were about ten teenagers hanging around, laying on their stomachs next to the water, tossing rainbow beach balls at each other, and drinking A&Ws in the shade. Something seemed off, but I couldn't put my finger on it for a second. And then I realized what was making the whole scene feel so bizarre:

I've been meaning to go to Off The Grid - a gourmet mobile food market that travels around the Bay Area - for months now, and when I went up to stay in San Francisco with Morgan for the night we decided to take all our many, many children to the Presido Picnic. (To clarify, we technically only have four children between us, but four people under age 5 who have been plied with M&Ms and then released into the wild feels like approximately twenty.)
