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!

Mount Rainier wife date
We ran off without the children to find snow in the mountains
Gobs of snow!
Mounds of it!
The hiking was excellent
Ambient noise was muffled
Animal tracks were everywhere
And how would one even describe this kind of icicle???
Gotta love Longmire!
