Strawberry snack break for the work crew

Later Hazel jumped on a high jump mat like a trampoline

After days of anticipation Hazel helped make sure that baby brother’s mobile was hung in exactly the right position

We met Supey for lunch today

And spotted…

A close-range crane in action!

I haven’t mentioned recently how much Hazel loves Lincoln. Some things never change 🙂

The cottontail rabbit was above ground today and we saw her enclosure being cleaned and prepped for the day (The captive wild animals are given novel smells and items to explore every day)

Walking in a skunk’s shoes

The lowest branches of this (flowering!) tree were low enough for Hazel to reach

Pink trees and pink shirts

Heading back home

Hazel ditched Mommy in favor of the WFN employees at Tumble Time today

Here she is, way far away, during the circle songs

Little scientist at work

We’ve been waiting for these beauties to bloom!

Hazel and Supey took turns drawing the stripes of the world’s tallest rainbow

Here’s Hazel standing in the circle she drew around herself

Taking a carrot break from building a whole town for cars

There’s Hazel’s mid-level stairs workshop. She’s patching up a shovel

Hazel got a height chart from the WFN, decorated it at home with drawings and stickers…

And presto!

It was a beautiful day to go to a park

We scrambled up and down a steep side trail

And at the playground Hazel walked across this balance beam by herself for the first time!

Can’t squirm away from Mommy on Mother’s Day!

What’s this?

Why, it’s a hopscotch court of course! Supey continues to be brilliant at this kind of project…

For cookies

Small crowds at the farm today

And an entertaining new feature at the sensory tree: drum sticks!

Here Hazel was lodging mulch into mulch-sized holes

Drawing lines in the dirt with a big stick

Dirt and tools are available again in the garden!

This might have been the only time we’ve been alone with the wooden chicken eggs for any length of time. Hazel was in hen house heaven

Face to face with goats

These three are part of a group of four (3 goats, 1 lamb) that have been hand-fed by farmers since birth due to complications with their mothers and are especially friendly to humans, not to mention cute!
