Bridgewater Fair

Bridgewater Fair

Mile: 109,720

Kicking off the fair season we stopped by good old Bridgewater Fair!

It’s fun to watch the years go by in Jackson’s eyes. When he was younger the sights of it were his thing and we gave him sensory overload. Now as he gets older, he slows down a bit and he has fallen for the garden an regular tractor pull. This allows Heather Heather to get a little retail therapy as us men folk can take in the sights, sounds and smell of those old tractors. We get to talk strategy of why the weights are put a certain way and the air left out of the tires.

We were lucky that Papa was in the area so he popped over to share his old school knowledge with Jackson.

This years food hit for Action Jackson was the pulled pork and Mac and cheese. After plowing through one plate he had to have another.

We got to take in the antique cock shots, chickens, pigs, horses cows and even some racing pigs!

He even got to buy a few toys with some money he earned and get a few arm paintings. Life is good says Action Jackson!

All in all, a hot, sunny but eventful day that we will not soon forget!

Give us a like, follow and a share to keep up to date on our adventures. Hope your adventures were just as fun today! He even zonked out on the way home!

Goshen Stampede

Goshen Stampede

Mile: 109,235

Luckily, we received word that the rumors were true … a demolition derby … within driving distance! I hadn’t been to one since I was a kid and Jackson had most definitely never been to one! Off to the Goshen Stampede we went. Jackson was in luck as Papa met us there to hang and watch the cars literally demolish each other. They had multiple heats with a 6 cylinder and 8 cylinder group going at it. The ultimate victor was a regular on the circuit from Vermont. We also got to see barrel racing, mechanical bull riding and a whole slew of food trucks. Jackson and Heather were also victorious at the midway earning a more than handful of stuffed animals and trinkets.

Yesterday, Jackson and I pigged out on some S‘Mores at the house with a roaring fire pit. He is just like his old man … a pyro!

All in all a great weekend of adventures! Hope your day brings as much joy as our weekend did!

Mile: 109,127 This weekend we did not celebrate … instead we remembered those who have made the ultimate sacrifice to provide freedom to each and every one of us in America. Jackson is still too young to truly understand the true meaning of Memorial Day…
