We visited Sunrise

While Hazel continued her weeks as a Junior Instructor
More and different wheels; Landry fits on Hazel’s green bike now
Lisa and Lara helped us start August right!
And then there was Cocoa Beach!
Turns out these kids love some tumbling surf!
Then on to the Disney Magic at Port Canaveral
The captain and crew kept us out of Hurricane Erin’s grasp
Three out of four of us were foolish enough to try this steep waterslide! Cannot recommend it
Aaaaand the sun sets on summer 2025

Hazel’s fourteenth birthday
Happy 14th birthday, Hazel!
Certainly enjoy some pie with your one curly candle
The celebration stretched out across a couple of days
Brother of the birthday child
He is good at inventing new ball games
This picture was taken exactly 14 years after Hazel’s due date; who’d have known then that she’d be sailing the Opti “treasure” at the end of a double rainbow on Puget Sound? Also that the upper rainbow would be inverted?
Also, Brita paid a visit to the PNW in the days leading up to the birthday! Thank you Brita!
