The Side Effects of Endorphins

Our grandson and I went on an Adventure the other day, it was a simple walk in this North Seattle neighborhood.

We made it into a scavenger hunt of sorts trying to find these items.

• An Airplane
• A Frog (we are deep into winter)
• Somebody Walking a Dog
• A puddle
• A large leaf
• And he added a port a potty

I can’t exactly remember the fourth and fifth item but they were close. We both carried big branches wielding them much would a divining rod. He had an ample supply of peanut butter crackers. His sister looked on quizzically.

He must of known this route quite well as there were numerous construction honey buckets en route . But where were we going to find a frog. The college down the road, has the tree frog as their mascot but the pickings were slim on this day. It was hovering above freezing.

And there they sat two blocks over, as somebody had porcelain frogs all over their yard. Arthur was non-plussed, He wanted to find more port-a-potties.

I am telling you, grandkids are great for the imagination. There is no such thing as a boring little walk.
