We love paddling and have tons of equipment, but sometimes you just want to relax. Tonight, Danelle and I had a date night with Mike Clark of Big Muddy Adventures. They offer monthly floats that happen during the full moon. The full moon float includes paddling in a large voyager canoe (about 14 people) and … Continue reading “Full Moon Float – 10/23/2018”
I invited my dad to come into St. Louis to see Puddles Pity Party and he accepted. So I purchased 2 tickets and waited for the anointed day. Dad came into town earlier in the day. We started out going out to dinner at dad’s favorite St. Louis restaurant. After a fantastic dinner, we headed … Continue reading “Puddles Pity Party – 10/10/2018”
We came out to waterfall to do some work today. All four of us came out. I brought the circular saw and the generator, Danelle brought the wire brush and some spray paint. After the requisite mowing/weed wacking, had the place cleared out in no time and were ready for the actual tasks. Corvin and … Continue reading “Waterfall – 10/7/2018”
We came into KC for the weekend because Holly and family were going to be in town. Somehow it ended up being a mini reunion with family. Its always good to see everybody. First off is a video of Holly (and Jim)’s kids, David and Lindsay. I got them to say “Kelly Clarkson” and “Welcome … Continue reading “Kansas City with Holly – 9/15/2018”
A quick video of Corvin running the Forest Park cross country meet. It rained the day before and misted during the day, so the course was a mess! Yep, it was muddy! Hogan Haake

A professional baker is invited on the show and bakes a cake like item that they are famous for. Then they bring in 3 contestants that are not as talented and have them try to … Continue reading “Who Bakes A Shoe Anyway? – 9/3/2018”
It seems like its a never ending job to mix and pour concrete out at waterfall. This time, its a landing pad for the stairs we want to put in for the deck. Today’s job is 400 pounds of concrete (plus the water its mixed with). You can see from the bucket above that there … Continue reading “Concrete at Waterfall – 9/1/2018”
Some random salad Danelle made. Its fun to spot unique birds near home. Cats in boxes, what else is the Internet for? Still on one wheel! Hogan Haake
SLU had their day at the St. Louis Cardinals. We bought tickets before we learned that Corvin had a Cross Country meet the same day. So you’ll notice Corvin isn’t in any of the photos (and I’m not a fan so there was never a ticket for me). Laura went and they all had a … Continue reading “SLU Day at Cardinals – 8/30/2018”
Not to ruin the drama, but this is the last major day of the trip. I got a hold of a marina that had a pontoon boat we could rent, so we jumped on it. A quick visit to the grocery store across the street to get lunch supplies, then we drove half way back … Continue reading “Kids To Maine -Part 6 – 8/10/2018”
