A romantic day out with the Mole usually includes mud. Not the kind that someone slathers all over your body, but the cold, slimey, bug-infested mud you find underground in some dark, tight, damp and ungodly space that humans are not supposed to go. My kids tell me, on occasion, that I am very "game" for going along on some of these events. But, the older I get, the harder it gets.

Even covered in mud and wearing that stupid looking helmet, he's still cute!
