Ahh, the great outdoors. Our 2014 was a very great outdoors kind of year. We hiked down into Crater Lake and then hiked up Wizard Island in the middle of the lake before doing both in reverse and collapsing onto our beds shortly thereafter. We walked in awe among the […]
Stop, drop and roll! No, wait, that’s not right. Stop, Hammer Time! Nope, wrong again. Stop, in the name of love! Well, sorta but not exactly. Stop what you are doing, grab any and all 5-12 year old girls you know and love, and watch the pilot episode of Just […]
