June 6, 2019 We were really excited to ride in Arizona. Its our fourth state of the trip. We booked a campsite on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon back in February, so I knew it was coming for a while. What I didn’t know/realize was how high the elevation would be. The north … Continue reading “State 4 – Arizona”
Sonora’s last orchestra concert of the year. Hogan Haake
June 2, 2019 There is no question when you enter the state of New Mexico on I-40. The sign spans over the whole highway letting you know exactly where you are. For people like us trying to document our journey, a large in-your-face sign like this is easy to spot and document! We were interested … Continue reading “State 3 – New Mexico”
I’ve been out to Don Robinson State park a few times now, but just had the urge to hike it again. I got the whole family packed up and in the car to go out and hike. It can often be hard to get a family together when they have convenient entertainment like NetFlix and … Continue reading “Family Day – 4/21/2019”

I noticed that a few of the vents on the outside were falling apart. The best thing to do was to replace … Continue reading “Home Repairs – 6/29/2019”
Corvin wanted to take his girlfriend on a date. He chose bowling. Since he’s not 16, he needed a ride. The whole family plus his date went. They got a separate lane and did their own thing while Danelle, Sonora, and I bowled on our lane. Danelle getting ready to roll a strike! Sonora sneaking … Continue reading “A Date For Bowling – 4/17/2019”
I purchased tickets from CineConcerts to see the St. Louis Symphony play “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix”. The jest of this is that the movie is played on a large screen while the orchestra plays the musical score of the movie live in front of us. We also took Danelle’s parents with … Continue reading “Harry Potter at the Symphony – 4/14/2019”
Our normal monthly paddle on the Meramec river. Some photos of our fun. Andy playing Humpty Dumpty. This time he didn’t fall or break, but he also didn’t have time to paddle. Still awesome that he came out to see us! Bernie Arnold brought me a boat to borrow. We paddled for a bit, but … Continue reading “125th Sunset Race”
