Hannah spent a wonderful week at a guitar camp.  During the week she got to write, perform and record her very first song!  She also recorded a song by Taylor Swift.   Mom and Dad are so proud of her!  Enjoy.

Hannah rides the Giant Dipper for the first time!

The Giant Diaper is the amazing old wooden roller coaster at the Santa Cruz beach boardwalk. You can read all about it here.

Many thanks to Anna Whiting for helping to give Hannah the encouragement to give it a try.
