Mom coming Home – 6/17/2017
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
Holly Week – 6/10/2017
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”
June Sunset Race #103 – 6/8/2017
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”
Tracey’s Birthday Bash – 6/3/2017
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”
Beer at the Warehouse – 6/1/2017
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”
Cliff Cave Park Ride – 5/30/2017
We decided to have a family bike trip. OK, Corvin was not there, but Danelle and Sonora were. I picked Cliff cave cause it has a nice flat lower section and though it would be nice and easy for all of us. The first thing I noticed when I came into the park was that … Continue reading “Cliff Cave Park Ride – 5/30/2017”
KC Camping – 5/28/2017
While we were out for the South Dakota Kayak Challenge, Corvin and Sonora camped at Hillsdale Lake with Hiatt and family. So we were picking up the kids before heading home to St. Louis. At some point, we were back at grandpa’s house and I got a shot of GPM and Corvin biking together. Hogan … Continue reading “KC Camping – 5/28/2017”
South Dakota Kayak Challenge – 5/25/2017
The South Dakota Kayak Challenge is a 72 mile paddling race down the Missouri river. Danelle and I had previously completed this race and though it would be fun to do it again with friends. I borrowed a 4 person aluminum boat and talked Andy and T into joining us for the trip. We only … Continue reading “South Dakota Kayak Challenge – 5/25/2017”
Bad Haircuts – 5/21/2017
I let myself get talked into a bad haircut again. I didn’t loose a bet, I just wanted a colored mohawk to celebrate summer and the upcoming South Dakota Kayak Challenge. It started off with Sonora pretending to be a cat, and then a turtle… Corvin decided to get his hair cut first. He eagerly … Continue reading “Bad Haircuts – 5/21/2017”
