We'll see you soon, city.

May 20, 2018 by Cory Andersen in family, exploring

We spent the last week at Bear Creek Lake Park in one of the little cabins. It was amazing (even with having to walk to the bath house and pay a $1 to take a shower).

Cough, Cough, Cough....err, Ho Ho Ho!

December 17, 2017 by Cory Andersen in family, life, parenting

But, in true Andersen fashion, we're not going to let ear infections, antibiotics, vomiting, fevers, and sinus infections get us down! (well, maybe for a couple weeks...) We're now on the mend, mostly, and we're full fledged into the holiday spirt!
