Bike With Your Boots On is a bicycle event that stops along Grant’s Trail taking water quality measurements along the way.

It was time for the kids to get their eyes checked. I’ve started taking them to America’s Best due to the price. You can get two pairs of glasses for about the same cost as one of the fancy places.

We’re shaking off the winter as the sun is coming out more. Grandma Carol with Danelle and Sonora in the kitchen all smiles! And if you didn’t know it was warm yet, you can tell by the number of unicycle photos I’ve taken, getting out as much as possible! Hogan Haake

The kids spent some time together blowing bubbles, but the rain kept us mostly indoors. A … Continue reading “Sunday with Family – 3/27/2016”
