Country Living: Tonight's Big Adventure!

Pretty impressive title, don't you think? Oh yes, living in the country is quite an adventure. Tonight's excitement was going for a walk in the dark with flashlights. Now, these are not just any ordinary flashlights. They are really fun and unique flashlights that were a gift from my sister while we were in San Diego. The girls totally love them! There's a monkey that says "oo oo ah ah," a cow that moos, and a pigs that oinks. And they have a very bright little LED light. I should know -- it's often pointed at my face.

(check out the udders on the cow)

So...after dinner we put on our jackets and set off for a walk around our property. Some of the horses came over to the fence to check us out, but one of them was running around like a crazed nut. I don't think she was a big fan of the flashlights.

From Merriam Webster:

ad·ven·ture \əd-ˈven-chər\ noun

a: an undertaking usually involving danger and unknown risks (e.g., getting your retinas burned out by a cow with large, plastic udders)

2: an exciting or remarkable experience (I'm sure we were quite remarkable to the cars pulling into the church next door as we walked around in the dark with no general purpose shining very bright lights at absolutely nothing.)

3: an enterprise involving financial risk (Those flashlights were certainly an investment, and there is the ever-present risk of them being lost.)
