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!

Redeem Birthday Gift Card

Redeem Birthday Gift Card

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…

Ice Cream

Ice Cream

Mile: 114,605

Well we are kind of cheating on you in this adventure. The ground was a little wet so we took our regular truck!

First, welcome to our adventures ELLA! Ella is an 8 month old German Shepherd mix who is FULL of energy and loves people. Stay tuned to see her in our adventures. When we first started this page about 4 years ago we had just said goodbye to Sadie, another Shepherd rescue we loved with all our heart.

Back to our regular programing …

It was curriculum night at Jackson’s school so Heather was kind enough to go. Instead, we got together with Jackson’s bud Alejandra and got some ice cream. I will let the pictures speak for themselves selves but I think they had a great night!

Cape Cod

Cape Cod

Mile: Many

We have started a new tradition the last couple years where we get away to Cape Cod before Action Jackson reports for duty back at school. It is also his birthday so he enjoys finding little things there.

We started out by staying in Falmouth. Action Jackson had never been to Plymouth Rock before so we showed him the Mayflower recreation and the good ole rock itself. Go figure … there was a chocolate and ice cream shop directly underneath our room! Heaven indeed!

Then we ventured off to Dennis Port for the second leg of our trip. Heather got in some retail therapy, Jackson found some Bruder trucks and construction equipment and I got to fill my belly with ha bunch of seafood. A little something for everyone.

We got to see a really cool old village so Jackson could see what life was like before plumbing and electricity. We even got to a grist mill where he got to make flour out of corn. Not sure he would be cutout for that long term!

The weather was a little stormy so we made the best of it and got Jackson a kite. Boy did he get it up there. No hotels were harmed in the making of his kite adventure.
