So we picked a time to meet the Browns. It was especially good timing as it was another cold wet wintery time. … Continue reading “Chesterfield Sports Fusion – 1/25/2015”
I saw an instructional video online about making matchbook rockets and thought it would be a fun thing to do with the kids. I found the video from Grant Thompson “The King of Random”.

The Missouri Botanical Garden put out their annual Christmas Light and we decided to grace them with our presence. It was extremely cold outside, but it was still crowded. Corvin and I were not completely in the mood to visit that night, so we were not quite up to the Christmas spirit. I wasn’t thinking … Continue reading “Garden Glow – 11/21/2014”
Don’t get your hopes up, this is not a dirty post. It actually about our Thanksgiving trip out of town to French Lick, Indiana. We booked a room at the Big Splash resort/indoor water park.

I was the sole participant for this Sunset race. I wasn’t worried as I had my dry suit and know this section of river well. I don’t often go out in our kayak as I prefer the company of others, but when you’re by yourself, you do what you have to do. Here I am … Continue reading “71st Sunset Race 11/13/2014”
