November 22 is Go For a Ride Day and that’s just what we did! we started the day off by having some breakfast with our buddy Larry who was more than happy to have some fun with Jackson’s RC trucks! Stopped at Theo’s for lunch for some grilled cheese and chicken sandwiches to warm us up! Snagged mom along the way and made our way to a few stores. From there we ventured through the countryside from town to town until darkness. Stay tuned for our Light Parade adventure coming up.

Where did you adventure today?

5th Birthday

5th Birthday

Mile: 102,848

Action Jackson celebrated yet another birthday on Friday, turning 5. He made out pretty darn good. Thanks to the great people at Nordica Toys we were able to fill up Ole Red with some awesome Bruder trucks!

After that it was time to go on an adventure. First, we had to fill up the truck with gas and Jackson is always willing to lend a hand! He may be growing up but he’s still not too old to hold Mom’s hand.

We ended up at Popey’s, a hot dog and hamburger stand, to fill our bellies. Jackson sore by the hot dog with some ketchup and I must say the curly fries were delectable! After that we took in some tunes from the band that happened to be playing next door followed up with a ride around Lake Waramaug.

Before it got too late we had to get home for some Oreo cake! Needless to say there wasn’t much cake by the time Action Jackson and I got a hold of it!

Hope life is treating everyone well like it is us! Action Jackson appreciates each and every one of you and hopes you will spread a little happiness to your friends as his gift!!!

P.S. – Wish Jackson a happy birthday if you could spare a second! It will definitely put a smile on his face!

Choo choo!!!

On this Christmas Eve, Jackson, Heather and I wish everyone a very Merry Christmas!

This weekends adventures was all about trains! The Wilton Historical Society was new to ya but boy oh boy was it a great time! They had a massive setup of trains in the basement and Jackson was memorized by the hundreds and hundreds of feet of track and villages.

We also walked through the building and got to play in a historical kitchen. Jackson loved the telephone and learned that back in the day you had to wind up the phone!!

We also got to see a blacksmith in action who made some hooks and we got a history lesson on blacksmithing.

After that it was to New Milford and Gallery 25 where we got to see even more trains and Santa was there to boot!

We are trying to patiently wait to see what Santa may bring us. Jackson is confident that he is on the nice list so I think it is going to be a great day tomorrow.

Ho ho Ho! Merry Christmas and please let us know about your adventures!

Give us a like and share if this reminds you of an adventure you might have once been on. Thanks for following along!
