.. an attack at the golf course ..


{say hello to Mr. raven}

so last Friday night Cody asked me out on a date. yes i know we are married and you think, why would he ask you out. well cause he is cute like that and even had a date night planned. i watched bachelorette while he showered for our date, that was included in there (and don't tell me about it cause I am still 2 weeks behind. the on demand deleted last weeks before I could watch it, but kept the week before - odd i know.)


{yes we are freaks, i know..}

first up was a round of mini golf at cascade golf course. it is an awesome outdoor mini golf course that we often frequent in the summer for family golf tournaments. Cody has been really into golf lately so i shouldn't have been surprised. we made a bet, winner gets to pick where we go for dinner. so we got our balls and clubs and headed out. we decided to pick the course that we rarely do, just to change it up a bit. when we got over there it was kind of empty. we thought nothing of it and started. we got to hole 2 and found out why it was so empty. i started off first. i didn't do too bad. i started to walk over to my ball so that Cody could putt. and as i walked with my head down a raven, dive bombed me and scratched / pinched my shoulders. i freaked out and screamed and sure enough Cody missed it, he was looking down. i asked him if he had seen it and that i was a tad freaked out. he told me it was probably nothing. but i was on edge. so he putted and then it was my turn again. sure enough as soon as i put my head down he attacked again, this time he didn't get as good of a grip cause Cody saw it and swung his golf club at it. so with that i was done with that side of the course, so we walked with clubs up and in attack mode to the other side. 


{this is the face it made while watching me, it is not innocent, trust me!}



{ you can kind of see the scratch on the left and then a dot on the right from his other claw, it killed the rest of the night}

don't worry we had some entertainment out of it. when we got to the other side up on a hill where we could have a good view of the other side we stood at one hole with another guy who we shared our story with and watched it attack a girl on a first date, a teenage boy and a older woman. it was hilarious. i wish i had caught it on video. i started recording and it had just finished it's attack and didn't feel the need to do it twice. and we were nice, once we got down towards the end of our course which is near the start of that course.. we warned like 4 couples of that side and they all believed us, we just had to laugh a little. 




and just if you were wondering Cody won and we had CPK for dinner. surprise surprise.
