Jack is Back


William has three very important "Jack's" in his young life. First, (and most important) is his cousin Jack Reynolds. Then Jack the beta fish, who we think William named after his cousin, but we're not sure. And then, lastly there is Jack from Hollowscream at Busch Gardens. Or as William calls him, "Jack the Pumpkin Guy". For three years in a row, we've gone to Busch Gardens in Virginia for their Halloween special events. And each year, it's been all about Jack. You see, Jack performs a show, with scarecrow dancers, and pumpkins several times a night in the Ireland area of Busch Gardens. If William had his way, we'd be front row center at each and every performance. At the very least William has to get his picture taken with Jack each day, and shake his hand. The trip this year was bittersweet. It was, as always, much fun for all of us. But it was probably the last Autumn trip to Williamsburg. And so we'll always remember the dancing pumpkin man, and the spell he cast on our entire family.
