Antique Machinery

Antique Machinery

Mile: 111,318

We are so lucky to live near the Connecticut Antique Machinery Association! They had their spring start up. When we go there we were actually invited to be in the show so we had VIP parking!

Action Jackson always leaves with something neat here. This year he found nothing at the swap meet. He did find several rocks … as usual … he took home!

Spent some time with the blacksmith learning about metal and how it can be melded into something cool. Jackson was such a good study the blacksmith gave him the hook Jackson watched him make. How cool is that?

Action Jackson then got to sit o na bunch of his favorite tractors and we even went on the steam train ride.

By the end of the day he was all tuckered out. The measurement of a great day!

Hope the sun was shining where you were!

Mile: 110,921

Sometimes we just drive for the sake of driving. Nothing wrong with that folks!

We got some supplies at Home Depot and Jackson got to try out all the new mowers. Can’t ever see me with an electric ride on but whatever floats people’s boats.

Hope you had some good laughs too today!

Help Others

Help Others

Mile: 110,583

We try to make sure Jackson grows up knowing how lucky he is and that he should always try to help others. To that end, we picked up his buddy Alejandra and went shopping for the Thanksgiving Food Drive put on by the New Milford Woman’s Club. These selfless ladies fundraise and do a food drive to provide for several hundred families in our Town and it is amazing to see!

We had to hit up 3 different stores but they were troopers and were happy to help load our carts and realized how great it was to help others and what a good feeling it was.

We even got to see Jackson’s buddy Christopher and got out a little energy playing outside.

Of course, we had to hit up that leaf pile!

Jackson worked up quite the appetite so it was time to fill his belly with some Mac and cheese.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Give us a like, follow and share so we can keep spreading our adventures far and wide!
