Sonora was recommended by her music teacher to participate in the St. Louis All Suburban Orchestra.

We went to Kansas City for Christmas. We decided to take our time coming into town. We left St. Louis on Friday morning and took a leisurely drive out US Highway 50 stopping in Jefferson City.

I wanted to make sure that they all had a good time. All we had to do was prepare and we would … Continue reading “St. Louis Mardi Gras – 2/6/2016”
What birthday would be complete without having your friends for a sleepover? So we invited Zach and Henry over to share in the festivities. After dinner, we had to provide dessert.

The first half of this day was the most frustrating day of my whole trip. I started with me waking up and trying my best to sleep in. The motel was nice. When I couldn’t take sleep anymore, I went to Dairy Queen for breakfast. I then walked to a hardware store and picked up … Continue reading “Colorado Motorcycle Trip – 9/22/2015”
