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

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

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…

Birthday

Birthday

Mile: 114,510

It was Action Jackson’s birthday recently. Every SUnday we drive down to the local Dunkin Donuts and Jackson hangs with his bud “uncle” Larry. Uncle Larry used to work with my dad many decades ago and him and Jackson have bonded over donuts through the years. Larry was kind enough to get Jackson a gift certificate to his favorite local toy store, Nordica Toys.

Jackson had a little fun with the birthday bag as you can see. We also had to load up on some treats for Jackson’s new pup, Ella.

Bridgewater Fair

Bridgewater Fair

Mile: 114,430

It has been a wet summer so far and right before the Bridgewater Fair was coming to Town it dumped a bunch of rain on us. However, that didn’t stop us!

Some of the events were canceled but we still got to see the oxen pulling and a huge sand castle by Create a Castle.

We filled our bellies with a bunch of food including some great pulled pork and Mac and cheese that Jackson and I had a few plates of.

Jackson tried his had at the darts and wouldn’t ya know it he is a natural!

The humidity was a little intense but it was good to support a local fire department! Hope you stayed dry today!
