Visiting my parents

The kids just rode off with the g'parents to go feed the horse, ride the horses, and later I'm sure pick off ticks the ending of every day. I know this because the first day we arrived we walked out to the horses and I flicked two ticks off of me on the way. So now....how to get back to the house without touching the grass. Not possible unless perhaps I fly and that is left for witches. (My girlfriends mom could perhaps do this) The other day I asked if I could borrow her broom to sweep out the garage...didn't go over so well. Anyway back to the ticks. I was thinking I could just squirt some of that Frontline stuff between my shoulder blades and not worry for a month. Dogs have it easy.
