We received a call from the browns to join them for an outing to Chesterfield Sports Fusion. After some quick research, Danelle and I agreed it would be a fun thing to do. So we picked a time to meet the Browns. It was especially good timing as it was another cold wet wintery time. … Continue reading “Chesterfield Sports Fusion – 1/25/2015”
Sonora went to Andrew’s birthday party. One of his presents was a Wubble Ball. Its a silly ball that inflates to a very large size. When I went to pick up Sonora, Kevin and Nancy were attempting to inflate the ball. Like anything in life, it isn’t as easy as it looks in the commercials! … Continue reading “Brown’s Ball – 12/13/2014”
Danelle and Sonora went over to Ryan and Ingrid’s house for the annual Christmas cookie party. This year, the party was back at Ingrid’s house (last year at our house due to new babies).

From there, I grabbed my unicycle and kids and proceeded to walk the kids the mile from our house to the … Continue reading “Halloween – 10/31/2014”
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”

Jake and Robin invited us to go camping with them at Onondaga Cave state park. They gave us the date and told us the campsite they would be staying at.

Every year, we try to participate in the annual Stream Team picnic. This year we were able to make it out again for a good time. We had so much fun in fact, that we only got this photo as we were leaving. Well, that’s not completely true. The picnic was fun, but there were … Continue reading “Annual Stream Team Picnic – 7/25/2014”
