We wake up early in the morning and go for a long walk around the campground, which is quite sprawling. The scene is almost magical with yet another warm day, cloudless deep blue sky and trees draped with vibrant fall colors. The leaves fall like snow, covering the ground with a carpet of vivid yellows, oranges and reds. The air is still, the sun is warm and we finally begin to feel a sense of peace. I express my love for Thelma and our first week of the “tiny house” traveling lifestyle.

Later in the morning, we all meet Ida and her puppies, Rocky and Nala, at Borderland State Park for a walk in the woods. Borderland encompasses 1,843 acres surrounding the Ames Mansion, which was built in 1910. If you have a shovel in your house, chances are the brand is “Ames.” Borderland is a beautiful park that has trails for hiking, biking, or horseback riding, a pond with fishing and boating, and facilities for tennis and disc golf. I have fond memories of hiking, running and ice skating at Borderland from when I lived in the area as a teenager. 

Later that evening, we go back to Ida and Wess’ house where Ida cooks a very nice dinner for everyone.

Our trip to Australia was delayed due to port closures throughout the South Pacific. We spent the month making improvements to Hanavave so that we could make the passage to Australia with fewer stops.

Happy 20th Birthday, Jack!

Today, as you begin your twenties, we want to pause and celebrate the beautiful human you are. Your authenticity is a light, shining through in everything you do. You live your truth with a courage that inspires all of us. Your creativity is captivating, lifting the spirits of those who witness it. We admire your dedication to your own art and your profound connection to music, film and art in all forms.

Your unwavering selflessness, kindness and compassion are strengths that move quietly but profoundly, touching lives in ways you don’t always realize. The warmth and care you extend to others is a true reflection of your being. It’s a gift to watch you uplift those around you, always consciously mindful, always compassionate.

As you continue on your artistic journey, know that we are with you, supporting you always. We believe in your art, unlimited by commercial constraints and free from the mainstream’s narrow definitions of success. Your authentic vision, your voice, and your perspective are important and needed in this world.

Keep following your passions. Keep being you—because who you are is truly a gift to this world. Here’s to more years of creativity, joy, and the pure expression of your true self.

We love you so much, Jack. Happy 20th Birthday!

With all our love and admiration,

Mum & Dad
