Moonlight Grilling and BIG Imaginations

Day 148

September 28, 2013

Team Zybko

 It seemed like a good idea, looked so super great on paper. Let's go to that lake park we love, chill out, throw a Frisbee, grill some dinner and make s'mores. Yep, perfect Friday night fun, let's roll people.

 Well, we ended up having about six and half minutes from the time we arrived at the park til the pretty, dusky daylight left us. It quickly became impossible to see, even your very own hand in front of your face. Other than the glow of an iPhone, a baby travel flashlight, the hot dog grill and a full moon we stumbled around nearly blind. 

I must say, Drexel didn't skip a beat, he was happier than a pig in mud wandering around not afraid of anything BUT some of us have bigger, crazier imaginations than others. This special gift in certain circumstances can of course be an advantage but not in all places and time is it particularly welcome. While telling stories, blogging or let's say entertaining guests at a dinner party a big imagination is a wonderful thing. 

Sitting under a creepy sounding tree infested by a bat family on a spider webbed picnic table a mere 3 feet from a very black monster filled lake as the glow of a full moon creates menacing Halloween shadows (just so you know, imaginations are allowed really long descriptive run on sentences shoving words where ever you see fit) so here, as you can see......this is not the place for creative thinking. 

Needless to say, we didn't stay too long. The company, dinner and impromptu dance party were pretty fantastic though, even in the pitch black nighttime air. Keeping with the imagination theme here, I am pretty sure, like 110 percent sure I looked like a 25 year J Lo while dancing on that table as the glow of the moon erased ALL age from my face.

Yep, I told you, imagination does have it's advantages.
