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!

 We missed you!

Hope everyone has been enjoying their Winter! We started off the week with a bath for Ole Red. Luckily Action Jackson had his boots and was ready to jump right in. We then worked on our Easter Egg for the local Parks and Rec Easter Egg Hunt. As you can tell, Jackson has a thing for SpiderMan.

We got it up just in time for people to see! Today we take Ole Red out to find some of the over 350 done by other families! Keep smiling and stay tuned for our next adventure!
