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”
We want to put up a shelter at Waterfall and figured it was a nice day to go and get some work done. We would start by getting rid of the junk at the property. We needed the truck for this, so Danelle and Sonora rode out in the truck while Corvin and I took … Continue reading “Waterfall Preparation – 10/9/2016”
I decided to go out after work with Sonora and have a daddy daughter day. I thought we would go paddling and catch dinner at Meramec Marina. I knew that Sonora wouldn’t paddle hard, so it was important to start very near the marina. I understand its expensive to operate a park, but I was … Continue reading “George Winter With Sonora – 10/3/2016”
It was time for the kids to get their eyes checked. I’ve started taking them to America’s Best due to the price. You can get two pairs of glasses for about the same cost as one of the fancy places. While I’m not a fan of getting more stuff as its wasteful, the kids tend … Continue reading “Two Pairs – 9/7/2016”
The kids and I went to the City Museum. Sonora and I had never been on the roof before, so we went straight up to check it out. Lots of climbing and the Ferris wheel were in store for us! Hogan Haake
We’ve decided to put up a picnic type shelter at Waterfall. We figure we’re more likely to go out and visit if we have a home base out there that is ready and waiting for us to use. The first step of this process is to go out and lay the foundation. The plan is … Continue reading “Piers at Waterfall – 9/3/2016”
a Lots of unicycle riding this month. Hogan Haake
I do lots of paddling, but I don’t often include my family. In fact, I think this might be the only time this year I’ve taken the kids out in the boats. Its hard to get them to agree on doing anything together. But Danelle needed to study, and that meant getting the three of … Continue reading “Paddling With Kids – 8/26/2016”
We went to Eckert’s Family Farms to pick peaches. They were nearing the end of the season and it sounded like a nice family activity. If nothing else, the kids enjoy the tractor ride out to the picking area. When they dropped us off, we started looking around and found the trees empty of fruit. … Continue reading “Picking Peaches – 8/21/2016”
