Opening Day
Mile: 108,213 Jackson had his first week of Little league this week! I even was able to get out of work and snag him from school the day before so we could hang out in Ole Red. It is fun to watch him learn how…
Operation: Birds of Prey— at Pratt Nature Center.
Mile: 108,112— at Pratt Nature Center.
Diane at Pratt Nature Center rocks! She had a Birds of Prey seminar where we got to learn about owls and hawks and see a bunch of them live and in person. We claimed some prey ourselves … chicken nuggets … after watching the show!
Eggcellent Adventures
Mile: 108, 037 We got a few rides in this weekend but no real shenanigans! Had to get ready for the Easter Bunny! Jackson entered into a chocolate coma but revised himself with some chocolate milk. Don’t tell him but I may or may not…
Denmo’s Opening Day
Mile: 107,910 It was Opening Day at one of our favorite roadside stands, Denmo’s! As usual, they did not disappoint! It was a tad bit chilly so we actually ate in the truck. Nothing like some good grub! Jackson even got a ride in the…
Irish Eyes be Smiling
Mile: 107,823
Well this is one of our most fun weeks! We got a new leprechaun blowup, even more green lights and plenty of swag to hand out!
Too bad Uncle Steve was in Florida before St. Paddy’s Day because Jackson wanted to give the old Irishman a ride! That’s okay, he scored a few numbers for his generosity of handing out his trinkets.
Tooth Fairy
Mile: 107,661 All Jackson will need for Christmas is his two front teeth! He had a dangling tooth that he couldn’t lose so he asked his buddy at school to help out. He did … he pushed the wrong tooth out! Needless to say the…
Snow
Mile: 107,661 Ok this is a short post. It snowed. Reminder: Don’t drive Ole Red when it snows. That is all
Dreams Come True
Mile: 107,552
Jackson and I were lucky enough to participate in a parade for a young boy who had a heart that was very weak, and his birthday wish was to have a truck parade. Well, he got his wish and then some. There were almost 500 vehicles of all sorts including trucks, tractors, machines, fire trucks and everything you could think of. Unfortunately, the young boy passed less than a week later. Time is precious . enjoy every minute … it is the one thing you will never get back and can’t buy more of!
Ice Fishin
Mile: 107,388 This was a little frigid adventure. Jackson’s buddy Chris took him out ice fishin and set up his new hut on the ice. I think Jackson thoroughly enjoyed the accommodations. What do you think? He also got in a little science learning too…
