Slow start today. We got up and went grocery shopping. Then we headed straight for the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. Okay, we made a pit stop at Horseshoe Bend. Its a total tourist trap. Sweet views, but too many people. It might have been more impressive if we hadn’t seen Goosenecks the day … Continue reading “Southwest Summer Adventure – 6/5/2019”
Danelle got up early and went for an early morning walk with Corvin to get photos of the sunrise. When she got back, I went for a short walk with Danelle. Then we went to the included breakfast. This is a small motel and about the only place in town. It felt like every person … Continue reading “Southwest Summer Adventure – 6/4/2019”
This day started off with a morning swim in the pool and some sauna time. We came back up to the room to change before breakfast when we got a surprise. The fire alarm went off. This one was turned up to 11, so there was no reprise from the noise anywhere in the hotel. … Continue reading “Southwest Summer Adventure – 6/3/2019”
Today was looking up. We partly cloudy skies and a full parking lot of people escaping the rain the night before. It wasn’t much of a drive before we made it to the New Mexico border. It almost seems like they were worried you might miss the state border… With the border out of the … Continue reading “Southwest Summer Adventure – 6/2/2019”
Our first full day of vacation started with Corvin, Danelle, and I getting up early. Sonora slept in as we crept down for a preview of the hotel’s included breakfast before heading to a bike path in downtown Tulsa. This was Corvin’s and my first state to record in our 48 wheels trip to unicycle … Continue reading “Southwest Summer Adventure – 6/1/2019”
Before you get too excited, I know Sonora’s birthday isn’t for 5 more days. However, she wanted to have a party with her friends and this was the day that worked out. Several of them came over. We got them to mostly play outside and try different things. Here are a few photos of them. … Continue reading “Sonora’s Birthday – 5/10/2019”
Steve and Jackie invited us to see Nathan’s First Communion. Danelle was out of town, but Corvin, Sonora, and I were able to make it. The church was packed with family and we barely got a seat in the balcony. There are not any photos in church, cause that isn’t my style. We met them … Continue reading “Nathan’s First Communion – 5/4/2019”
Sonora’s last orchestra concert of the year. Hogan Haake
I’ve been out to Don Robinson State park a few times now, but just had the urge to hike it again. I got the whole family packed up and in the car to go out and hike. It can often be hard to get a family together when they have convenient entertainment like NetFlix and … Continue reading “Family Day – 4/21/2019”
Home repairs are a never ending chore. Sometimes you can wait a bit longer, but eventually maintenance is just required. We’ve been in our house for 13 years now and got it new. I noticed that a few of the vents on the outside were falling apart. The best thing to do was to replace … Continue reading “Home Repairs – 6/29/2019”
