Day 119-122: Paul the pumpkin

Today, we waited 2 hours at a car hire place, and drove another 2 hours upstate, and passed the town of Sleepy Hollow where we saw a statute of a headless horseman.

We arrived at our house at a town called Peaksville. It had 2 storeys, and had a cinema room with a projector and a popcorn machine and a pool table. There was also a large backyard and fire pit.

We went to the shop to buy groceries, we bough a pumpkin to carve, as it was almost Halloween. We called our pumpkin "Paul". Maya also made we watch Kpop demon hunters on the cinema screen.

The next day we woke up and drove to this town called Cold Spring, we saw the lake there, and went to a book shop ad had lunch. Then we drove back home and carved Paul. It was disgusting. We had to scoop out all of his insides, and it was impossible to carve the teeth.

Then we drove to the Blaze pumpkin patch and and a black and orange cookie. When the sun went down, we started the blaze walk. There were thousands of pumpkins in all shapes and sizes, some wretched plan Jack o'Lanterns, and some were animals, and others were flowers.

The next day, we played American monopoly, and then went to this lookout. Then we drove to Bear Mountain. We did a bush walk to the zoo and looked around there. It was quite small, but had many animals. The had been famous for the bears though, but unfortauntely, their last bear, Pal, who lived there for 2o years, had died 4 days before we came. It is kind of weird that this place is called bear Mountain but the last bear died just 4 ays ago.

After the zoo, we returned to the bear mountain inn, and had lunch, and I got souvenir coin #23 in the gift shop.

After that, we drive home, and got 2 small pumpkins on the way, except smaller this time. I could carve it myself, but left the teeth for obvious reasons.

The next day we got packed up and drove to this outlet shopping town, where we spent 10 hours at clothes shops, and mum bought a really expensive handbag, even though she has 20 already. After those wasted 10 hours of my life, we drove another 2 hours back to our apartment in Manhattan. I had been waiting over a week for my wolf Fahlo bracelet to arrive, but it hadn't. We looked everywhere, and realised it must have been in the mailbox, which we didn't have the key for. A few days later, we got the bracelet out of the mailbox, and I opened it. I could see why it was free, though.

My Wolf's name was 1849F, and we literally lives in an exclosure. I shouldn't have gotten my hopes us, as it was free.

By the way, Manhattan is impossible to navigate. It was just a series of one way streets, and half of the 2 hours we drove we spent 200 m from home.
