Pumpkin Blaze

Pumpkin Blaze

Mile: 118,659

It’s been a minute. Action Jackson has been VERY busy with baseball! Travel is over and in house only has a few more weeks left. Yesterday, I wasn’t most proud of his home run or his line drive he smoked … instead it was how he went and consoled his buddy Caden after he struck out. Caden was very upset and I explained to Jackson how much Caden would appreciate a little support at that moment and Jackson went over, reassured him and patted him on the back and turned his frown upside down. That was the best part of my week to be honest with you! Made me VERY proud to be his dad!

Last night it was off to the great Jack O’Lantern Blaze in Sleepy Hollow. There was a little fog in the air which made it different and interesting. They had some new scenes so it made it worth the drive.

Jackson still managed to pound down 2 donuts and some apple cider!

Jackson is definitely getting older because he doesn’t automatically fall asleep like he used to on the way home.

Time is fleeting… appreciate it while you can with those you love!

Pumpkins, Part 2

Pumpkins, Part 2

Mile: 114,799

You can never have enough pumpkins! Jackson and his buddy Alejandra ventured off with us to a new destination, March Farm in Bethlehem. This is a family farm and they were having a fall festival.

First, we picked our pumpkins. Then we got some cotton candy because who doesn’t like cotton candy?!?!?! After almost throwing up from going o the swings we then checked out all of the farm animals and the farm store which had all kinds of delicious looking baked goodies of which we may or may not have partaken.

Then we drove up onto the hill where they had music playing, vendors and all kinds of food. We filled our bellies some more and Alejandra got her face painted while trying not to freeze her butt off. She got some cool hair extension to go with it.

It may have been a little chilly but we had a fantastic time and will definitely be back!
