On the way home from our vacation in Boundary Waters, we decided to stop for a half day at “House On The Rock“. I’ve heard about it many times and about how good it is. My feelings are different. It wans’t the worst way to waste away the day, but it is far from a … Continue reading “House On The Rock – 8/4/2017”
Our family vacation this year was a trip to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area (BWCA). I was last there in 1992 just before my sister Hannah was born and I was eager to return with my family.

On their way to Disney World, Hiatt, Kris, Rylan, Michaela, and Sean stopped by our house. It had the added bonus that it put them closer to Disney and was free 🙂 While they were here, Rylan wanted something to drink, but we didn’t have much to offer. So I suggested that the kids and … Continue reading “Hiatt and Family in STL – 7/18/2017”

We decided to have a family bike trip. OK, Corvin was not there, but Danelle and Sonora were.
