a trip to the haunted forest
with one daughter
two pre-teen grandies
and me
hearts pumping, adrenaline spiking
three generations
shrieking and running the whole way through!

Wow, doing it up bigtime. I’ll pass, thank you. I go to great lengths to avoid scary things. I think I was cursed with an excess of adrenaline or something.
