Another crazy month of random activities has come and gone. We used to dye our hair as a family, but I’m getting old and less fun. However, Sonora dyed her hair what is supposed to be red and blue but looks more purple and pink. Corvin and Sonora both got some quality time with both … Continue reading “July – 2019”
Yesterday we were at the annual Stream Team Picnic. Hannah won a few prizes during the raffle and one of the prizes she got was 4 tickets to Onondaga cave. We didn’t have time to visit the cave on Saturday, but we realized that if we didn’t use them on Sunday, they would probably expire … Continue reading “Onondaga Cave With Hannah – 7/28/2019”

All of Henry and Carol’s siblings, children, and grandchildren were … Continue reading “Henry and Carol’s 50th Anniversary – 7/14/2019”
Danelle is on the Webster Groves Sustainability Commission. They had a shared parade float and were walking with a small float. Danelle asked if the family could come along and they said yes. I’m not one to pass up a parade and an excuse to ride a unicycle in it. Corvin and I both got … Continue reading “Webster Groves 4th of July Parade – 7/4/2019”

We had plans for later in the day, so we were going to visit the first 3 donut shops, then turn … Continue reading “Donut Ride – 6/29/2019”
After uni-cycling across the American southwest this summer, I decided that I wanted a new unicycle. I’ve been thinking about what I might get. My current inventory is Sun 20″ Torker 24″ Unknown 24″ Custom 29″ Coker 36″ What I didn’t want to do is buy something that I already have (ignore the two 24″) … Continue reading “UDC Titan 32″ – 6/20/2019”
8/3/2019 Having just finished Montana the day before, the plan was to drive down south and dip into Wyoming and Yellowstone National Park for a quick ride. When we got up at 5 am, the ground was wet from rain the night before, but looked to be clearing up for a nice day. We got … Continue reading “State 18 – Wyoming”
8/2/2019 We spent the night in Wallace, Idaho.You may not know this but this is the center of the universe since 2004. Its a really quaint town off I-90 in a mountain valley that just begs you to spend time walking the streets. I wish we had more time to hang out and explore every … Continue reading “State 16 – Idaho”
August 1, 2019 When we planned this trip, Corvin picked out this uni-cycling location all on his own. I had a heavy hand in most of our riding locations, but this one was 100% choice. And its one of our favorite rides of the whole trip so far! We originally flew into Spokane but decided … Continue reading “State 15 – Washington”
