Dallas Aquatic Center: Awkward at its finest

This last week, I took my younger sisters to the Dallas Aquatic Center, and my friend Carmen came along. We may or may not have used them as a crutch to not look so ridiculous, as we were the oldest people there by ten years. The awkward things that happened to me:

1. The old man sitting in the corner of the hot tub with a beard the length of an extra-long french fry from McDonald's. The same color too. Pretty sure there was something ALIVE in there. Plus, his stomach hair may or may not have been as long as his beard. See below image. 

2. Having the Jr.  Lifeguard yell at us for twisting on the slide. This is awkward on so many different levels:
a. He was 13.
b. He was standing there intently watching the slide to catch potential rule-breakers. And he would blow his whistle when someone would do something against the rules. And the actual lifeguard would ignore him. Every time. Is it horrible that I wanted to tell him to sit down and relax?
c. The fact that Carmen and I are 20 years old, and riding on a water slide.
3. The rope swing. And me not jumping out far enough, thus having the rope fall straight down. Hence making 13-year-old Jr. Lifeguard having to almost fall in to grab it as an entire line of 9-year-olds stood and watched in fascination. Plus, looking like a drowned rat while watching said 13-year-old reach for the rope. And having Jr. Lifeguard fail, and 10-year-old sister had to go out and push it towards him. Fail-fail-fail-fail. Learn the lesson kids: Swing far. 
4. TOP AWKWARD MOMENT. The immense multitude of naked females over the age of 60 in the locker room, intermingled with fascinated children and their mortified mothers. I'll leave the rest to your imagination.

Overall, a fabulous trip ;) So glad I got to do something fun with my sisters and hang out with Carmen!
