Danelle went to her 20 year high school reunion this month and found a photo of herself. I did some serious unicycling including getting a water bottle installed. My parents came for a visit. And I gave up on my BBQ grill, or did it give up on me? Hogan Haake
Earlier in the year, I heard that Weird Al was coming to St. Louis. I told Danelle that my birthday was coming up and I wanted tickets. She bought them a few minutes after the tickets opened up and got amazing tickets! The show was amazing. The best I’ve ever been to! I highly recommend … Continue reading “Weird Al – 6/28/2015”
The town of Kimmswick, Missouri is a river town south of St. Louis on the Mississippi river. We went down there once to have lunch with the browns at the Blue Owl restaurant.

I promise, this is the last of my insanely frequent visits to the Meramec River in Valley Park. I took the kids earlier in the day to see it and I just wanted to paddle it myself. So I went out to the river with my kayak! Hogan Haake

So Corvin and I walked farther down the road to see the mess. … Continue reading “Kids In The River – 6/20/2015”

Corvin got bit by a spider. He complained to Danelle and she thought it wasn’t good. Like a typical dad, I said to just wait it out. Mostly its just a large raised area, but she didn’t like it. I was out doing something when she decided the next day it was worse and took … Continue reading “Corvin’s Spider Bite – 6/15/2015”
