Paddle with JoJo
A nice evening paddle out on the river with JoJo. We were able to see some of the flood debris in the daylight. Its amazing how high the water got and what it left behind! Hogan Haake
Madison Wisconsin Weekend Getaway – 3/11/2016
It was a Friday bordering spring break. The kids and Danelle had the following week off, but I still had to work. We had talked about what do and if we should take a trip out of town. I got a social media reminder about the largest canoe and kayak expo around. I had talked … Continue reading “Madison Wisconsin Weekend Getaway – 3/11/2016”
Forrest Park Ride – 2/28/2016
We found a nice day for the family to bike around Forrest Park. Its right around 5 miles and mostly flat. The kids and Danelle were on bikes and I uni-cycled on my 29″. Around the halfway mark, we stopped to play with some dinosaurs. The T-Rex stepped on me, but I escaped unharmed! And … Continue reading “Forrest Park Ride – 2/28/2016”
Steger Curtain- 2/25/2016
I decided to participate in the Avery Play this year (more to come about that in a later post). During rehearsals at the Steger 6th grade center in Webster Groves, we had issues with the stage curtain. They had been broken for several years. So when the curtains were closed, somebody had to stand center … Continue reading “Steger Curtain- 2/25/2016”
Science Center with Nathan – 2/20/2016
So the real reason Hannah and mom came into St. Louis for the weekend was for a school project. Hannah needed to observe a small child for her teaching. Of course I offered Nathan up with his Steve and Jackie’s permission. So we “rented” him for a few hours at the science center. Kalie and … Continue reading “Science Center with Nathan – 2/20/2016”
Mom and Hannah in STL – 2/20/2016
Hannah’s friend Shelby was coming to St. Louis with a Kalie for a job interview. Hannah couldn’t come at the same time, but decided to come later. Mom wanted to join her for an excuse to visit us. We were not complaining, getting to see my mom and sister at our house! We always try … Continue reading “Mom and Hannah in STL – 2/20/2016”
Kansas City Weekend – 2/13/2016
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”
Sunset Race – 2/11/2016
A perfect day for a February float on the Meramec with our monthly Sunset Race. JoJo was coming with me and there was just a touch of snow on the ground. Ok, and maybe it was very cold outside! Of course you need fuel to stay warm, and I found the perfect thing. A bag … Continue reading “Sunset Race – 2/11/2016”
Ice Skating – 2/7/2016
Sonora had been begging us to take her ice skating for quite a while. I decided it was finally time to do something about it. I took her out to St. Louis’ outdoor rink, Steinberg skating rink in Forrest Park. Neither of us had been there before. It was easy to find and the facilities … Continue reading “Ice Skating – 2/7/2016”
Curtis Mayfield Tribute – 2/3/2016
The St. Louis Symphony was giving a free concert tribute to Curtis Mayfield. We decided to go and check it out. We had never been to Powell Hall before and were quite surprised at how nice it is. We made sure to get there early since there were no assigned seats. We were pleasantly surprised … Continue reading “Curtis Mayfield Tribute – 2/3/2016”
