One of the gifts Miles received at his birthday party last week was an outdoor adventure set (and, if you’re familiar with our group of friends, you can probably guess who was responsible for that gift). We opened it today and let Miles start checking out the binoculars, compass, and (surprisingly strong, honestly) flashlight. I told Miles that, if he had a good day, we would go out back tonight to use the flashlight to look for the opossum that I suspect lives beneath our shed. And when the time came, Miles was Ready for Adventure™.
