These three turkeys went to Mount Rainier for a springtime hike along the Rampart Ridge Trail
Loveliest needle-strewn switchbacks
Looking down at Longmire from the scenic viewpoint
Mountain views along the shoulder
Three miles down, two to go. We think this five mile loop was Landry’s longest hike to date
Best seat in the forest!

We visited Sunrise
With a detour to Shadow Lake — new to us
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 had one last band concert at the end of 8th grade…
And they expertly Flash Mob and Rickrolled us!!!
Landry was recognized for his academic achievements
Staid academic support cat
Letting loose and catching her tail

On the day of his first ever band concert!
A friend from orchestra came to the show and walked Landry back to our car

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!
