WIR: Oct 28

This morning, Zachary took his first entrance exam at Salesianum. We woke up early and headed down for the 8:30 start. The exam took over three hours with a 15 minute essay at the end. Parents spent the first hour listening to the principal talk and field questions. Pretty cool experience. It’s a great combination …

WIR: October 21

So today is mom’s birthday. It’s been a day lounging on the couch fighting a cold. Tonight, the boy plays a night game. It’s pretty cold and windy. I’m opting to stay in doors while daddy takes one for the team. Last weekend, we headed to Chicago for the USC-ND game. We had a blast. …

WIR: Sept 22

Happy Birthday to this Bunga Head. My brother is such an awesome uncle to Zachary. The two certainly like to play tricks on each other other but it’s done with love. He certainly has swayed his love for the Dodgers and SC, who can blame home when you have experiences like this one. I found …

We’ll, we survived our near month long trip away from home. We had a fabulous time exploring in Canada and out west. Many incredible memories. But sadly, we’re back in the grip of reality. onward and upward. This kid started his first day of 8th grade yesterday. And his first week of baseball practice on …

Road Trippen:

We spent three long days driving to Ohio. Got to see the sun rise in Sheridan. Everyone became a little testy with limited sleep and close quarters in a van. But we still found a way to laugh in a Subway in Altona, Iowa…at 9pm at night. We arrived in Columbus to happy dogs…a quick …

Road Trippen:

Today was our final day in the parks. We hit up the Going to the Sun Road, East Glacier. Unfortunately, we lost one set of grandparents when we couldn’t find parking at the lodge. We spent the day driving and then hiked a quick trail with an overlook of the lake. I believe it was …

We spent the day in East Glacier. First up was Many Glacier. Took a boat ride on the lake. My mom initially didn’t board with us so she could watch Bella. But when we got back, we got her on the boat at 2pm. I’m glad we did because she enjoyed it. While my parents …

Road Trippen: Day 14

We started off the day in Canada in a smaller RV campground. I went for a run, up and down the hillside closest to the amusement park. Zachary threw from a grassy hill, again. And before you could unwind, we were on the road again. The first stop was a First Nation stop in Canada …

Yesterday, we spent the day at Malign Canyon and then off to a boat ride on the lake. Cool, rainy day turned into some really neat pictures with the sun poking through. Today was a travel day to Calgary. It rained heavy most of the night but by morning had stopped. Tomorrow we head to …

Day Trippen: Day 12

I had more issues with the site again. Hopefully, it’s fixed. I’m going to do a catch up post. Looks like still not enough internet band to include pictures. Frustrating. After Banff, we headed to Jasper. We’re staying at Whistler Campground, which is pretty outdoorsy…with active bears in the area. Luckily for us, no best …
