We visited KC this weekend. 2 things stick out in my mind still. First, we went bowling and had a great time. While we were there, we saw a guy with “Strikezone” on his bowling shirt. He was there the last time we went. Sort of a crust old man that seems to only be … Continue reading “Kansas City Weekend – 2/13/2016”

Danelle and Sonora took Hannah to her first NHL blues game. The girls were lucky enough to be at a game where there were not as many people in attendance. They came down to the first level from the top to see the game from close up! Quite the experience. Rumor has it that Hannah … Continue reading “A New Hockey Fan – 1/4/2016”
Hannah came to visit us during her winter break from school. We didn’t waste any time, from the moment we picked her up, we headed out to Waterfall. 141 ramp from I-44 was still closed as they were cleaning up debris from the flooding. You can see extra water where there normally isn’t any. The … Continue reading “Hannah in STL – 1/2/2016”
