It’s that time of year … pumpkin carving. Jackson made his own spooky face. Don’t forget to make a biggggggg leaf pile and jump in it. I guarantee you won’t be disappointed. Took me back to when I was Jackson;s age when he was covering me with leaves.

Off as a family to enjoy another food truck! Kelly’s Creamery and Food Truck has the yummiest of yummy food. Jackson says they have the MOST mouthwatering chicken tenders and as someone who took a bite I agree!

Played a little chess and warmed up by their fire pit. They also had this awesome huge skeleton setup and all kinds of Halloween decoration.

We washed it down with a little ice cream and back to home we go!

The days are getting a little shorter but our fun isn’t. The leaves are something to behold. They might not hold on long this year so enjoy it while you can. Almost time to carve those pumpkins!
