Landry scrambles up like this to turn on the faucet

Pretty pleased

Hazel lost her second tooth in the dentist’s chair this afternoon!

Look at that big girl!

I am a bunny. My name is Hazel. I live in a hollow tree

In the summer I like to warn my brother about thorn bushes

I like to dance with the fountains at the spray park

I chase the water and the water chases me

The old fashioned merry go round was an enormous hit

Round and round they went for hours

Diapie in the wild

Dash Point Beach at low tide again

We had the place to ourselves to frolic at will

Landry ended up in a freshwater stream, throwing sticks downstream

Then throwing them back upstream

When he got so cold that he could no longer balance we retired to Hazel’s “cookie dough sand” area

Later: gratefully stripped down and snuggled in

Beginning

Middle

Middle still

Pretty happy with the end product

It was right near here that we saw a worktruck transform into a traincar! Really!

Here’s Landry at lunchtime

Clearly at home, having napped

Meanwhile, Hazel went on a special lunch expedition with Supey and Grandma Linda!

Later the kids flew a homemade kite together

Ta-dah! The new fence is complete!

Wider view

Here’s our whole stretch of yard/house from the magnolia tree. You can see the perpendicular bit with a gate on the far right (And this picture was taken before we moved the slide into the pool today.)

Behind Landry is the corner where the new fence (almost) meets our neighbors’ existing fence
