Today is the big day! Last night, I took the first half of lumber out to waterfall. It was questionable how fast I would be able to drive. I had the truck loaded in a way that could make me famous for stupidity. If this worked, I would repeat the same drive with a similar … Continue reading “Waterfall Shelter – 10/15/2016”
We want to put up a shelter at Waterfall and figured it was a nice day to go and get some work done. We would start by getting rid of the junk at the property. We needed the truck for this, so Danelle and Sonora rode out in the truck while Corvin and I took … Continue reading “Waterfall Preparation – 10/9/2016”
In celebration of having my first thirteen year old in the house, I baked Corvin a special cake. Unfortunately for him, I don’t have very good baking skills… But he enjoyed it anyway! With his main cake baked, it was time to have more fun. I also baked two “smash” cakes. These are the cakes … Continue reading “Corvin Turns 13 – 10/9/2016”
Bike With Your Boots On is a bicycle event that stops along Grant’s Trail taking water quality measurements along the way. Its a nice way to get exercise and get a better understanding of a local stream. We started out in a parking lot meeting together and splitting into groups so we could go faster. … Continue reading “Bike With Your Boots On – 10/1/2016”
It was another month of unicycles for me! Corvin was in full swing of outdoor soccer. He played a game on the main field at the soccer park off Soccer Park road in Fenton. Its a 5500 seat stadium, so it was really cool. Grandparents Henry and Carol even came out to watch. Afterwords, Corvin … Continue reading “September – 2016”

About a year later, he got his own truck and didn’t need mine anymore. I was quite excited to pick it up. Instead, … Continue reading “Dad Returns Truck – 9/17/2016”
It was time for the kids to get their eyes checked. I’ve started taking them to America’s Best due to the price. You can get two pairs of glasses for about the same cost as one of the fancy places. While I’m not a fan of getting more stuff as its wasteful, the kids tend … Continue reading “Two Pairs – 9/7/2016”
The kids and I went to the City Museum. Sonora and I had never been on the roof before, so we went straight up to check it out. Lots of climbing and the Ferris wheel were in store for us! Hogan Haake
We’ve decided to put up a picnic type shelter at Waterfall. We figure we’re more likely to go out and visit if we have a home base out there that is ready and waiting for us to use. The first step of this process is to go out and lay the foundation. The plan is … Continue reading “Piers at Waterfall – 9/3/2016”
