We spent a day hiking in the early spring wilderness of the Shawangunk Mountains at beautiful Mohonk Mountain House!
Summit selfie with Sky Top Tower
But first: early spring deciduous forest & stream
Quaint wooden bridges
Sticks and ledges
AND….gazebos!
Gazebos for parents!
Gazebos on tiny islands!
Gazebos for withering glances!
Gazebos on the edge of heart stopping cliffs!
Here the children clung to each other in the wind at the top of the tower. Dramatic
On our third day in NY we took Metro North from Grand Central Terminal!
Three of us rode forward facing
Hazel rode opposite us with some of our bags
We ate the bagels of my dreams in Chappaqua
And enjoyed a new playground at my old middle school (locally called, simply, “Bell”)
10 Debby is looking pretty good! Familiar enough.
Carvel soft serve in Pleasantville: straight out of childhood!
Today is Hazel’s golden birthday!
We had snacking cake for breakfast
Then sent her off to sixth grade camp…
Cherry trees at Landry’s school are blooming!
Museum of Natural History! Central Park! Pizza!
We were in the Big Apple for a few days!
Walking to the subway
Waiting for the 5 to Bowling Green
Straphangers
We rode the Staten Island Ferry past Lady Liberty
Up on the windy, windy bow
Later: ice cream beneath skyscrapers

Hello from the Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge!
Where the squirrels are awfully entertaining
Cool shadows
Cool views

Yep, SuperLandry!
Hazey caught a Lando by the hood
Look at those shady characters
Tween ‘tween twin trees
Sliding happily back to the parking lot
Birthday trip to the wilderness!
We found snow banks
Fun for all ages, round and round
Before we hit the trails
Speaking of trails, they were bright on the eyes!
One each with Momma, willing or not
So much to explore
And to talk about
Timer shot in the snow!
Happy birthday to me (yesterday)! Lemon cream pie!
Composition a bit wonky: birthday girl plus peanut gallery
So many sillies
Party in the sink!
