Pecan Tree Shake – 12/14/2014
Danelle’s parents planted some pecan trees in their front yard many years ago. The trees have had many years to grow up and now product pecans. They have spent quite a bit of effort keeping the squirrels off of the trees to protect the nuts. Because they did a good job protecting the pecans from … Continue reading “Pecan Tree Shake – 12/14/2014”
Shirtless Wonder – 11/27/2014
We were at Danelle’s parents house for Thanksgiving. A nice family gathering. Out of the blue, Corvin decided he was hot and took off his shirt, walking around the house that way for a while. I called him the shirtless wonder and took photos of him. Silly boy! Hogan Haake
Garden Glow – 11/21/2014
The Missouri Botanical Garden put out their annual Christmas Light and we decided to grace them with our presence. It was extremely cold outside, but it was still crowded. Corvin and I were not completely in the mood to visit that night, so we were not quite up to the Christmas spirit. I wasn’t thinking … Continue reading “Garden Glow – 11/21/2014”
French Lick – 11/19/2014
Don’t get your hopes up, this is not a dirty post. It actually about our Thanksgiving trip out of town to French Lick, Indiana. We booked a room at the Big Splash resort/indoor water park. The water park is located on top of a hill, so its hard to miss, but not a place I … Continue reading “French Lick – 11/19/2014”
Hiatt Attic and Kawoleen – 11/1/2014
Corvin and I decided to participate in the Kawllowleen canoe and kayak race. Its a nice 11 mile race mostly on the Kansas River near Kansas City. Having family in town helps for shuttling cars before a race. My parents were not in town, but Hiatt was going to be in town. Hiatt needed some … Continue reading “Hiatt Attic and Kawoleen – 11/1/2014”
Wabash Railroad – 10/26/2014
On a whim, I wanted to go on a hiking trip with the family. I packed them up and headed for a surprise destination. I had an idea where I wanted to go, but was not telling them. On the way to our initial destination, we encountered The Wabash, Frisco, and Pacific Association. This is … Continue reading “Wabash Railroad – 10/26/2014”
River Des Peres Cleanup – 10/18/2014
We participated in the annual River Des Peres cleanup. I think it has a cooler name, but Danelle isn’t here to ask. We got there early to help setup. Corvin was creative with the sign. Once the event got going and people showed up, we ended splitting up into three groups. Danelle stayed around the … Continue reading “River Des Peres Cleanup – 10/18/2014”
Avery Fall Festival – 10/10/2014
Every year, the kids school hosts a fall festival. The outgoing 5th grade hosts a haunted house in the halls of the school. Corvin got to participate this year. While waiting for his shift to be over, I got the privileged of hanging out with with lovely Nancy Brown. Of course, she doesn’t like her … Continue reading “Avery Fall Festival – 10/10/2014”
70th Sunset Race – 10/9/2014
This Sunset Race fell on Corvin’s 11th birthday. What is a dad to do, but take his son out late on a school night to celebrate. I picked up the kids from school and loaded the boat. When Danelle got home, Corvin and I set off. Corvin was pleasantly surprised when we made a stop … Continue reading “70th Sunset Race – 10/9/2014”
