We decided to hang out as a family. So we loaded up the van with too much gear and headed north to Souix Passage park. We started out playing tennis for about 2 hours. We knew it was time to quit when most of the kids hits sent a ball over the tall fences. We … Continue reading “Sioux Passage Park – 1/21/2018”
My last post for 2017! Here are a few things that didn’t get their own album. Corvin dressing up at the meme Dat Boi. Danelle’s parents making silly faces with me.

We went to a party at the Saint Louis University Biology department to carve pumpkins with Danelle’s fellow students. We all had a good time and the pumpkins turned out well. The food provided was a perfect distraction to keep the kids happy as well. Hogan Haake

It got postponed twice more due to political … Continue reading “Moonlight Ramble – 10/21/2018”
We had a Groupon for bowling with 6 people. The kids each wanted to invite a friend and before we knew it, the kids each had two friends. So Danelle and I decided to watch while the kids and their friends had fun. Before I knew it, all four friends were spending the night. Lucky … Continue reading “Kids and Friends – 10/7/2017”
