Looking for Hazel
In the middle of a frantically excited scream
All about independent zipping lately
Hazel got on the floor to comfort Landry and it worked!
We popped in to see Supey at work while H was at preschool
Outdoor drawing
Big boy trying to water the grass by himself
23 months old + watering the grass in socks = wet foot dance
Approving audience of the wet foot dance
Our leafiest trip to Dash Point yet
We explored the beachy part of the park for the first time
There are gorgeous, vast expanses of sand and seaweed at low tide
Here it comes
Eyes on the ball
Contact!
Too bright to look around after a nap
Water (table) baby
Taking a break by the window
Hazel came out of the art studio to get us
Here’s what she’d been doing
Serious girl at work
Landry gave it a try too
One last video
These flowers were growing in the middle of nowhere
Landry was invited into Hazel’s classroom for snack today
We spent the last 36 hours of our trip in the Watertown area
First stop: red playground
With Sutton
Intrigued by basketball
Deluxe Town Diner
The next morning: I spy a girl who spies a friend
We’ve missed those red doors
Next stop: the library
Back home! Reunited with Supey and the yard
We hiked up Foss Mountain on our first full day in NH (That’s Hazel up there in the distance, trail blazing)
Silver Lake is that long skinny one in the distance
We were a big group to the summit including Grammy, Grampy, and Heather
That’s Mt. Washington over Landry’s left shoulder
That afternoon there were wagon rides
And first otter pops of the season
Hazel decided to deliver everything that needed to be put away by rug
Another day, another hike
This time to the beautiful Madison Cascades
Landry skipped his nap after the Cascades hike to watch the dock being put into the lake
No nap Cain
The next day was Friday, so we went to the dump
Hazel set out with binoculars, a notebook and a marker to make observations in nature
Landry made some of his own observations over lunch
Playground time
Most beautiful convenience store ever (That’s Mount Chocorua in the background)
Grammy and Hazel in the bandana club
Hike number three to a new wildlife sanctuary in town
Later we walked the driveway with Grampy
He does two laps, so Hazel grabbed some wheels for the second one
That night we had dinner with Cousin Patrick and his parents
Final hike for our final full day: Diana’s Baths
The approach streams ended up being more engaging than the destination this time
Six thumbs up for New Hampshire!
Top of the world!
We went to the Washington State Fairgrounds today for a spring fair
There was water pump rubber duck racing in the kids’ tent
And an amazing sandbox filled with seed corn
It was Hazel’s dream to try cotton candy
It got extra bonus points for being pink
And I feel compelled to mention that we didn’t come close to finishing it
