For Christmas Mason received two tickets to see Post Malone in concert at The Enterprise Center in St. Louis. He invited his friend, Grant, to come along. We left late-afternoon, picked up dinner for the boys on the way and dropped them off at the venue with plenty of time to spare. We were early […]
Last night after driving Mason and a friend out to Camp Ondessonk for Fall Lodge Weekend, I drove out to spend time with Kim in St. Louis. I spent the night with her and her pooch. We got up early and went off to a great little coffee shop to knit and catch up. The […]
Today was finally the day that Walker was due to return from California. Mason was invited to a sleep over party tonight so that meant Bill and I headed to St. Louis alone to pick up our California kid. We decided to make a full day of it and we headed out early. In […]
We made a last minute decision to head to St. Louis for a Sunday afternoon baseball game. Guests over 16 got complimentary hats which we desperately needed on this afternoon. Our seats were in a prime location but in the direct sun. It was so hot that Mason and I almost burned our legs when […]
We picked up two very happy and very dirty boys from Camp Ondessonk this morning. This week Mason attended Boys’ Week and celebrated his birthday at camp in the unit of Chabanel.

When Bill was trolling the internet for Merit Badge Universities, he came across one that piqued his curiosity. The Great American Human Foosball was offering one to earn the Personal Fitness Merit Badge, a required Eagle badge. The group setting was enough to motivate us to call for more information but the idea of human […]
After the boys and I left the City Museum, we swung by and picked up Mom and Dad. I needed a serious cup of coffee so we headed out of downtown and found a Starbucks. Dad wanted a picture like my mom has to show how tall the boys are getting. Unbelievable! We decided to […]
As a family we have been to the City Museum several times. It is not your average museum but rather, it has been called industrial playground. The galleries are comprised of recycled and repurposed items found around the city. It’s quite difficult to encapsulate what one would find there but suffice it to say, if […]
When Mom and Dad made their plans to visit, I told them our only commitment over the Christmas break was a scheduled Cub Scout outing at the City Museum Sunday to Monday. The timing worked perfectly because it allowed my parents to fly home from St. Louis. That being the case, we packed up the […]
