This past weekend, we meet some wild animals at Sustainable Safari in Maplewood Mall. Lily had the opportunity to interact with her latest animal obsession, the Capybara. Capybaras are pretty cute when they’re small, and kinda cute, in a weird way, when they grow up, too. Sustainable Safari had all sorts of animals including goats, […]

Use the force, Harry – Gandalf Quote
I’ve decided to start writing inspirational quotes on our driveway for the neighborhood to enjoy. This is the first.
I built the 1988 LEGO 6395 Victory Lap Raceway!
In 1988, I received a Lego 6395 Victory Lap Raceway! Well, I think that’s when I got it, I was like 9 so I don’t remember, but that’s when it came out. Fast forward a few (ok a lot) of years, and I put it back together! This is a pretty sweet Lego set that […]
My wife ordered a weird 2020 calendar.
When my wife ordered a 2020 calendar, she picked one with a cute cupcake on it. Turns out, every month is a new and “interesting” graphic. This wasn’t what she was expecting, but we’ve had some fun conversations. They have a 2021 calendar if you want to get your own or they have a lot […]
We built a treehouse!
During the summer of COVID my family and I had time to build a tree house. I’m not the most talented in the area of building things, but, with a little bit of help, we were able to accomplish it! A huge thanks goes out to my neighbors who let me borrow tools, helped haul […]

Halloween Mystery Meal 2016 Menu Utensils Pitchfork > Fork Mummy Bandage > Napkin Witches Wand > Spoon Main Intestines > Puff Pastry with Cheese or Meat Toxic Waste > Mac n Cheese Dyed Green Dead Mans Fingers > Peanut […]
Went golfing for the first time in many years today.
Went golfing for the first time in many years today with a friend. We had a great time and didn’t lose too many balls. The worst hole was this one as there was no way I was going to make it over the marsh. Basically you had the tee, the marsh, and then the hole. […]
Training a dog to go down a slide is hard work.
When we got a puppy, we knew we’d have to train it, but I didn’t think trying to train it to go down slides at the park was going to be top of the list. Archie actually went down twice. It was a small slide, but you gotta start small. This was actually quite a […]
