Fun Things We Like To Do

At our house, we find an infinite number of possibilities for having good, old-fashioned fun. We're seldom bored, but if we become aware of a case of impending ennui, we quickly remedy the situation. Here's an idea The Daughters had the other night (those two are just so creative!):

You've seen pics of our backyard. Well, this is our backyard at night. Scary, isn't it? All that STUFF (which we normally won't go near) piled around by the CONTRACTORS (whoops! My bad, sorry!). Well, The Girls decided to do a DARE. Dares are so fun! We like them.

So. Here's Daughter #1 going out on her dare. She has to go all the way around the piles of STUFF and stand in the farthest available corner of the yard. All the way back. (Except she's not really, because there's another section of our backyard that's fenced, for growing things and keeping the doggies out of it. Yeah, we have a pretty big back yard.)

Okay, here she is. You can't see what's behind and around her because IT'S SO DARK BACK THERE, but it's vines and whatever scary things might be in the vines. (We like it that way, so no negative thoughts, ok?) Notice the hood? It comes in handy, here. Scary things can't climb into her hair. She had to stay there long enough to get a decent picture. Or, rather, as decent a picture as could be got.

And here she is again, comin' on in! Notice the extreme relief on her face! See the adrenaline rush she's having! We like adrenaline rushes. Adrenaline is fun!



Here's Daughter #2 on her dare. Notice her posture? She isn't as prepared as her sister, so she needs to keep her limbs up close to her body. Also her head down, since she's 6'1", and who knows what creepy-crawly, scary things might reach out and get caught in her hair? And those vines! They could be s-t-r-e-t-c-h-i-n-g out, trying to grab hold. So FUN!


And here she is, getting her heinie outta there! With our semi-faithful hound, Lucy, who, I was told later, actually slowed The Daughter down by getting in the way. She was having fun, too! I think the adrenaline effect was a little stronger in Daughter #2, don't you think? She looks like she was about to wet herself, but actually, she didn't. Oh, the joy on her face! The accomplishment in her eyes! She completed her task!

See how much fun we have? We constantly amaze ourselves with our cleverness and creativity. Best of all, this was FREE entertainment! How much better can it get, huh?

Whew. This was all just sooo exhausting! Looking around for the next adventure...
