Sonora dressed up as a very creepy clown for the Avery Fall festival. But it was perfect for the haunted house! Danelle and Sonora spent a day at Six Flags. And Corvin is getting much better at his unicycle. He went on a 4 mile ride with me. So we had to stop for Ice … Continue reading “October – 2016”

Josh and Jen invited us over to their house to make apple cider. Ok, the real goal was to get the juice so they could turn it into hard apple cider.

One of the goals of the shelter we’re building at Waterfall is to have a place to store boats where they are not in the sun all of the time. We’re specifically planning on putting our two plastic boats out there. Plastic and exposure to the sun don’t mix! As you can see, we had … Continue reading “Waterfall Shelter Walls – 10/23/2016”

Its a 5500 seat stadium, so it was really cool. Grandparents Henry and Carol even came out to watch. Afterwords, Corvin … Continue reading “September – 2016”

Last year about this time, I lent my brother Herman my truck. I didn’t know how long he would have it, but I was willing to help him out of a bind. About a year later, he got his own truck and didn’t need mine anymore. I was quite excited to pick it up. Instead, … Continue reading “Dad Returns Truck – 9/17/2016”
