Fall Festivities!

Big Michael Myers looks after little Michael.

This is my family’s favorite season by far! We are always busy on fall weekends doing things with friends, finding flea markets/yard sales, and on nature trails where I find safe things to eat along the way. We usually have bonfires or cookouts too when the sweater weather is strong.

We’ve already planned an apple picking adventure for Oct. 13th I believe to get Wine Sap apples. They are an all around good eating/baking apple. This tradition of apples picking goes back 3 generations in my family. I’m hoping this year we will make some apple butter like my grandma used too. The kitchen will smell amazing!

Fall is such a magical season

Horror movies are a must in Oct so I will try to always re-watch 3 classic franchise, Friday the 13th, Halloween, and Nightmare on Elm Street. If you have suggestions for actually scary movies that are a must see let me know! I’m always looking for new ways to loose what little sleep I get.

Videogames are lit this month! Not only is the Switch oled coming out so is Back for Blood, a Witch Dead by Daylight character, and State of Decay 2 recently got a sizable update. I am a happy horror honey. Diablo 2 is freshly out for all new systems that Gothic atmosphere is gloriously remastered. I haven’t picked it up yet but probably will.

My persona tarot cards

What are fall activities that you enjoy? I’m currently sitting in my den with windows open listening to the neighborhood, catching up on game news. Who’s changed all their passwords today? After that I’m gonna push for level 35 in The Outer World’s so we can continue to play the DLCs I treated myself too.

Blessed be my Coven Cats ❤

Epcot the 2nd Round

Our little wife is so adorable 😍

So on this day Bailes was pushed around in a wheelchair by Jamie’s friend whom works in the park, but not this day, they were just spending time with the party. Bailes knee was just giving her trouble so she smartly spent some time off her knee so she could enjoy the rest of the trip. The food and wine festival was buzzing with actives and the first stop was the Mac and Cheese stand for some Cowboy Mac and the Truffle Mac. Look at those yummy pictures below.

The girls said that both were delicious and I personally wanted some of this stands food, it all looked so good! Then B indulged in this maple bacon cheesecake from the Canadian booth she said it was a little much in the sweet department so she shared it and opted for the surprisingly scrumptious spooky Disney brownie.

A maple bacon cheesecake in top and a spooky mickey brownie.

Next up was some delicious Poutine which for the unaware is essentially fries with lots of toppings, I mean like a shit ton, see photo below lol. Then it’s time for a small story so food picture first.

Gosh that all looks so good.

So B and I watched a lot of Disney Food Blog YouTube videos before she left and one of the last videos spoke about a drink that was made with mango and cream and the dude (a gentleman) was there to review it and literally said it tastes like a mango with cream and that was all he said. I was like the fook?!? That can’t be enough words for this… Bailes said I will go and drink this and text you literally if it was enough words or not. This was what happened.

I flipping knew it!

Bailey said it tasted like Chai and creamy with fruit but it was gross lol. Jamie’s friend was pitching it for her and took a sip and was like wow I see why you didn’t like it… continues to drink it kinda likes it. I knew it couldn’t have been that simple. Next entry will be Harry Potter filled and horror stuff filled! Get ready for Universal Studios.

Magic Kingdom day

Cinderella’s castle decorated for Disney’s 50th anniversary.

So this was a day that B had been waiting for! Why you ask? Well because she and the party got to eat at “Be our guest” the restaurant themed around the movie Beauty and the Beast. They were even seated in the in our opinion the best room, the library. I mean what person doesn’t love a gorgeous room filled with the delicious smell of old books and knowledge. The first few pictures are from the entrance and waiting area.

After being seated in the beautiful library the Beast swiftly moved through a few times but they did capture a picture. Bailes took a few pictures of the area surrounding the party and they are below.

The magic 🌹

Now the important shit the fooking food!!!! Holy moly did Bailes steak look delectable! 💕 So much so here’s a picture of it by itself. Enjoy!

Dang she said it was a straight banger.

The desserts are stunning. Bailes got the cake with fresh fruit which she said was surprisingly tasty. The other was a set of mini dishes a macaroon, which they said meh. The famous Grey stuff which was in fact delicious and a bourbon chocolate truffle that was pretty boozie.

After the exquisite meal B got another gift of being lucky enough to catch her favorite Disney character, Tigger, in a smol parade. I will note she is afraid of mascot, I doubt it mattered it was Tigger but he was far enough away to be enjoyed. Jamie also saw her favorite, Stitch, I heard she lost her mind.

During the day the party also went to big top treats and had well treats. Bailes consumed a Disney staple of a Dole Whip, she proclaimed it good. The last picture is the castle lit up at night during the fireworks. The next entry will be the second day at Epcot with a guide and more delicious foods that they actually took pictures of.

Night 🌙 Castle

Epcot or bust! Food, food, food…

Beautiful picture of the Ball.

Day 1 of 2 at Epcot went great for everyone! So much food was had that when the day began they just started to walk and eat so most forgot to take photos from the world booths lol. I do have a pic of their partly eaten food from the Italy stand, see below.

Still looks delicious 😋

Bailes Facebook called me part way through the day to let me know she and Jamie got to participate in pin trading and each of them throughly enjoyed the experience. B even got a Tigger classic pin and the food and wine pin with the Aristocats on it. The party also had a couple boozie flights a cider flight during this Facebook call and a mimosa flight that morning.

Mimosa flight! Classy af.

Bailes just called me before writing this to say good morning and let me know they are in the more Hollywood section today. It’s of course sweltering outside but it looks beautiful there. I can’t wait to hear what goes down today.

Last evening the party had a very fancy dinner at the Japanese pavilion. The view is gorgeous! They were all very full from earlier in the day but most powered through a delectable dinner. Bailes was a smart cookie and got sashimi, something she wouldn’t treat herself to at home.

Here’s the view!

Everyone is having a great time. They are also so far walking an average of 20,000 steps or 9 miles! At the end of the day they are all hurting. Apparently Jamie blew out her knee and now has disability access… I assume she’s in a wheelchair for a bit. I just hope no one else gets kinda injured lol. It’s kinda Jamie’s job though.

Rocks, Shells, and Witches

We headed out to one of my favorite beaches areas today, Marblehead. We stopped specifically at Riverhead beach 🏖️. It was kinda rocky but I didn’t mind I was listening to the oceans song and almost wept. We combed the beach for smooth rocks, worry stones, and neat rocks. Bailes loves rocks and such but so do I and Joe.

This was by far one of my favorite activities so far. After we gathered our treasures we headed to Salem. The town has changed quite a bit since I was here last here but it still feels like home and radiates good vibes. We did some tourist things and got good photos of the witches museum (for fallout purposes).

Our lunch at Derbies was the real star today as it was delicious! Everything was so fresh and the service was amazing. Heck we bought the hot sauce! I highly recommend the restaurant if you visit.

We really enjoyed today as a family.
