The Circle of Aura

August 2012

For years we have encouraged our extended family to come to North Idaho and vacation on Hayden Lake.  In fact, we bought the cabin next to our lake home largely to entice visitors.  This summer our nephew accepted the invitation and drove his family from Sacramento to vacation at the Little Lake Place.  Joe also happens to be our Godson, so we were thrilled to host him, his wife Siam and 2-year old daughter Austyn.  It suddenly became a week-long party when our niece Lauren flew in from Illinois!

On the Agenda...

Riding the Trail of the Hiawatha...

 

 

 

 

 Sharing meals on the deck...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 and fishing off the dock.  

But clearly, the most important event of the entire week was inducting Austyn into The Circle of Aura.  This is no small honor - as any respectable female Breckenfelder descendant will freely admit.  And after a few days of getting to know our great niece, Austyn was clearly Aura material!


Upon receiving her Fairy Name, Austyn's induction continued with a ceremonial trek through the Fairy Walk.  Sharp as a tack, she quickly discovered lots of hidden fairies and graced them with magical fairy dust.
