Once there they became bocce ball masters while we were waiting for our grub.

Jackson loved his mozzarella sticks and we all loved the tenders. Then we washed it down with some ice cream before a little playtime at home.

Redeem Birthday Gift Card

Redeem Birthday Gift Card

Mile: 114,685 Action Jackson had a gift card to redeem at his favorite toy store, Nordica Toys. They have new owners and a new layout so he had to take a little longer than usual to check everything out. When all was said and done…

Dig Some Dirt

Mile: 114,670 One of the things that Jackson has REALLY become interested in this year is actual diggers. We had a little mishap with a contractor dumping some dirt in the wrong place so Jackson to the rescue. He kicked some butt moving the material…

Beat the Rain!

Beat the Rain!

Mile: 114,620

We have had quite the summer of RAIN! It seems like every single day it rains. This has significantly cut down on our adventures as Ole Red is Ole Slippery when it’s wet out.

We found a break in the weather pattern for the day and meandered up to West Shore Seafood. The place is great because they have wonderful seafood AND a place to throw the football around!

Heather was kind enough to wait for the food while Jackson and I threw the ball around. We didn’t hit anyone with an errant throw this time!

After our bellies were full we called it a night! Hope you enjoyed the dry day today too!

Goshen Fair

Goshen Fair

Mile: 114,550

It’s fair season! Off to the Goshen Fair up in Goshen, Connecticut. We made sure to get up there a little early to beat the heat … which we sorta did.

Heather got her apple crisp which she loves. Jackson got his slushies and chicken fingers. I got my lobster roll.

Jackson and I also got a bunch of beef jerky from Nadine’s smoke house. It will last us almost week. Man that stuff is addicting. Now that Jackson really likes it, it goes quick.

We managed to check out some huge pumpkins, a bunch of antique machinery, animals galore and watched a garden tracttor pull for awhile.

Jackson then tried his hands at the dart game and won’t ya know it he popped a bunch of balloons! He also played a few more things before we called it a day.

He fell asleep on the way home so that’s the definition of a great day in our book!

Life is good!
