We made a trip to KC to drop Sonora off for the week. She wanted to spend the Independence Day holiday with her uncle and cousins. So we went in town. While we were there Henry invited Corvin and I to the shooting range with him. Corvin had only ever shot a .22 riffle and … Continue reading “Kansas City – 7/1/2017”
We finally had our first paddle at Waterfall. We went from Morris Mill back to our property. After we got settled, there is a bit of rapid to get through very close to the start. I went left with Sonora and barely made it. There was lots of bracing and getting my foot out of … Continue reading “First Waterfall Paddle – 6/24/2017”
Our second Chicken and Waffle day at the office was a success. We started early with mimosas. Before long it was lunch time and we fired up three waffle irons and three deep fryers. One of the deep fryers didn’t work, so we were down to two. To speed up the process this year, we … Continue reading “Chicken and Waffle Day – 6/23/2017”
I’ve switched 100% to the 36″ unicycle. The only way to get better is to go out and ride it. Today I went out to the River Des Peres trail to ride as its rather flat. I got some cool shadow photos while I was riding. Shortly after, I managed to wreck and cut my … Continue reading “Unicycle Fail – 6/20/2017”
After being apart for a week, we just wanted to hang out together for the day. We started off with a family paddling trip. We enjoyed a family lunch at the half way point. Not to let the day be normal, we finished it off by going bowling! Sometimes you just have to go out … Continue reading “Family Day – 6/18/2017”
Today Danelle, Kelly, and Kerry came back from a week on the beach. We made signs so they could find us as they came off the plane… It was great to have them home again! Hogan Haake
This was a week that started off bad and only got better! Danelle was going out of town for a girls 40th birthday party week and that left the kids and I to hang out. After thinking of lots of ideas of what to do with the kids, I decided to visit my sister Holly … Continue reading “Holly Week – 6/10/2017”
The June Sunset race was planned to go downstream from our normal starting place and paddle to a marina where we would get beer and then paddle back. Apparently paddlers like beer, because this was our largest turnout ever! I’m super happy people came out to paddle with us. Remember that we paddle year round … Continue reading “June Sunset Race #103 – 6/8/2017”
We got the invite to Tracey Semelsberger’s birthday bash. They’re great friends and we didn’t want to miss it! As a bonus, she and her husband Jack are fantastic musicians. Many of their musical friends showed up and had a jam session! And as an extra bonus, I recorded a small portion of the music! … Continue reading “Tracey’s Birthday Bash – 6/3/2017”
JoJo is fantastic at keeping her friends together. She had a beer making party at the funky warehouse just to get people together (and maybe for beer). It was great to hand out with our friends. I’m not much on microbrew beer and neither is T, so we walked over to the nearby grocery store … Continue reading “Beer at the Warehouse – 6/1/2017”
