We went over to JoJo’s to swim in the pool. The weather didn’t look promising, but we went anyway. A small amount of swimming was completed before the lightning got everybody out of the pool.

I’m obsessed with the Meramec flooding! Today I drug the whole family back out to the river to see where it was at.

Danelle’s car got attacked by a peacock at her work. She came out because she heard something and saw a peacock actively pecking and attacking her car. It saw its reflection and tried to remove the other male from its area. You might say, what sort of damage could a peacock do to a car … Continue reading “Peacock Attack – 5/29/2015”

We went to Tilles park to hang out together. Ok, maybe we had stale bread and wanted to feed it to the ducks and geese. We walked around the lake slowly first.
