Run run running with supplies

For inside snack time after an indoor stroll

Block slide discovery/game invention

I couldn’t tear Hazel away from her indoor toys until I suggested taking a baby for a stroll

She got dressed at lightening speed (and requested the “Mickey blue shirt from Grandma Linda”)

Hazel tossed and Lincoln chased

It was Hazel’s idea

I caught a moment of playtime concentration during an especially rainy part of our rainy day (you can hear the rain falling in the video)

A moment of more uproarious fun from the evening. “Your hair is very beautiful” (0:18)

Here Hazel’s drawing on a computer we’ve been building

Testing out a new reading position

Hazel and Annabelle jumped right into music making

They loved the hammock (or “attic” as Hazel sometimes called it)

She also called it a “canoe” after I suggested that it looked like they were sitting in one

There were also bubbles

With excellent turn-taking

And many more turns in the hammock

Saying hi on the path to the tea house

We found a worm!

Annabelle and Emily took us to an amazing playground before we left town

Hazel really loved it; she buzzed all around quite independently

The girls mostly did separate things on the playground, but here they crossed a bridge together

Good times at the farm: running in the sunshine

Enjoying the outdoor chickens

But not so sure she wanted to see the indoor chickens (too noisy)

“Maaaaa maaaaaa,” Hazel is a goat. But not a real goat because “it’s pretend”

Spinning and galloping, generally frolicking around (a.k.a. what a ridiculous difference a day makes)

Watching the silly fisher romp and splash

Sillying our way back up the hill

Our day was rough around the edges

But not all bad

Hazel’s all about opening and closing doors lately

“Be right back” she said as she trotted up the hill alone

Is there anything that could make a Grammy happier?

Who recognizes these so-called slippers?!

Hazel picked some berries on her own

But mostly relied on a supply from Grammy and Grampy

The grownups couldn’t keep up

“More please”
