Today is the first day of our summer family vacation. I’m a bit nervous because we’re taking a 2 week vacation. I’m always a bit worried when I leave work for an extended period of time. Thinking if my job will be there when I get back, do they still need me. These thoughts all … Continue reading “Southwest Summer Adventure – 5/31/2019”

There was video, but we got psyched out before really doing anything. After the pump track, the rest of the ride was pretty laid back. Corvin looks like he’s coming … Continue reading “Unicycles at the Pump Track – 5/4/2019”

We also took Danelle’s parents with … Continue reading “Harry Potter at the Symphony – 4/14/2019”

He wanted to ride a few, so I brought them all out to play. Here are a few photos and a video of the ride. … Continue reading “Unicycling With Austin – 3/23/2019”
Hannah came in for a few days during her spring break to hang out with us. Here are some highlights of her visit. Danelle picked her up from the Amtrak bus (as the tracks were flooded out). From there, they went straight downtown to get photos. With pictures and food out of the way, there … Continue reading “Hannah Weekend – 3/22/2019”
