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.

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.

Corvin and I went out for a unicycle ride on Grant’s trail. He’s gotten good enough on the unicycle that I gave him my 29″ unicycle and told him I would just ride the 36″ one now. Not only is he excited, he is FAST! Hogan Haake
Corvin’s final Honors Orchestra concert of the year. Its best to listen to the video more than watch. Corvin is in the back. Also of note, he wore a Spam tie, but the director made him take it off. Hogan Haake

With the massive amount of rain that came down, a mini lake formed in Barbre park. Where there is water, I’m there to paddle. So I went out and met Danelle and Corvin to paddle for a bit. Hogan Haake
Mandy and Brandon got married today at Dr. Edmund A. Babler Memorial State Park. We were lucky enough to be invited to the ceremony. This park is a decent drive from our house, so I’m not sure we’ve ever been to it before. When we got there, it was drizzling rain and preparing to storm … Continue reading “Mandy’s Wedding – 4/26/2017”
Corvin had a soccer game in Arnold in the morning and Danelle was out of town. So I decided to take the kids for a hike at nearby Strawberry Creek Nature Area before his game. The three of us set out and walked about 1/3 of the path in the park. I wanted to hike … Continue reading “Strawberry Creek Hike – 4/23/2017”
