Sonora was making a stress ball using two balloons, one stuffed inside of the other and filling them with flour. Danelle was helping her. I was not… I may have gotten flour on Sonora. Of course no good deed goes unpunished… Hogan Haake
I’ve been to Mardi Gras too many times, and this is just one more. I’m the bridge between two groups that all come together to get drunk and walk the streets.

It was super cold outside, but I really wanted to get outside. I thought I would try something new, so I headed to the Monarch-Chesterfield Levee trail. It starts in Chesterfield, MO near the Hardee’s Ice Rink/Taubman Prestige Outlets. Unfortunately for me, It was right around the freezing mark with high winds. Being pigheaded, I … Continue reading “Monarch-Chesterfield Levee Trail – 1/29/2017”
Every year, Avery Elementary takes their 5th grade class on a field trip to Hidden Valley to ski. I did this two years ago with Corvin.
