All of our Thanksgiving plans with family fell apart this year. We didn’t plan to out of town, so we improvised a last minute camping trip. It has been three years since our last Thanksgiving week camping adventure. The kids seemed to miss the camping this time of year. So we quickly shopped for food … Continue reading “Thanksgiving Day Camping – 11/24/2016”
In an effort to get away, I took the kids out to bike on Grant’s Trail. It was a bit cold outside, so Sonora was quite bundled up. Corvin and I unicycled and he did a great job! And as a treat, we had hot chocolate out of the thermos when we finished our ride! … Continue reading “Grants Trail – 11/20/2016”
When I got into my van this morning, I didn’t realize how cold it was, the back window had a ton of frost on it that I could see in the mirror. But as I sat down, I heard a noise that changed my mind and saddened me at the same time. Somebody had broken … Continue reading “Broken Window – 11/14/2016”
We came into Kansas City to visit family. It was a rare weekend when Corvin didn’t have a soccer game and we took full advantage of it. Corvin and Sonora were most excited to meet Heidi, the new puppy. Planning ahead, I brought my unicycle and had a nice ride with Herman. I couldn’t get … Continue reading “KC Visit – 11/5/2016”

The plan was to ride down the river road in Illinois and catch the ferry to St. Genevieve to get back home. I … Continue reading “Saint Genevieve Ride – 10/30/2016”
We had a large sweet potato in our kitchen that started sprouting in the summer. I was annoyed, so I took it outside and planted it in the ground. It just became a pet project of mine and I continued to water it all summer. I finally decided it was time and decided to see … Continue reading “Sweet Potato Harvest – 10/24/2016”
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”
Today is the big day! Last night, I took the first half of lumber out to waterfall. It was questionable how fast I would be able to drive. I had the truck loaded in a way that could make me famous for stupidity. If this worked, I would repeat the same drive with a similar … Continue reading “Waterfall Shelter – 10/15/2016”
This is probably the last warm Sunset race of the year. As a special treat, Andy brought out his new Minnesota 2. He had T paddling with him who had not been in a canoe before. I videoed in case they flipped, but they made it look easy… Hogan Haake
