Hazel waited quite patiently for Supey to inflate this pool after our outing to a public pool was foiled by overnight vandals
Filling the pool with water is much more exciting than filling it with air
Day lilies still going strong
Hazel, what time is it? “Forty forty forty”
It seems that this is the Summer of Farming for our family. Another trip to the farm today, and this time with Lil and Alayne!
Everyone loves a tractor
I took these with my left hand and can’t believe I got (a little bit of) everyone in the frame twice
Here comes the cook
Serving fruit stew and bread (or bread stew, as Hazel later called it)
In addition to giving Supey some stew Hazel informed us that the orange wasn’t ripe so we’d have to wait to eat it
When you’re two it’s quite a challenge to hold onto things with an oven mitt on your hand (plus dropping stuff is funny)
Heading for the lake
Found it
We did a lot of water pacing
And some jumping
Digging sometimes requires three generations
Setting up a dinosaur house on the treadmill seemed like a good idea until we learned how unstable blocks are on the belt
Piled high
When we visited the Public Garden this morning we saw real tiny ducklings!
And some grown up ducks in the grass, too
Hazel got a kick out of the McCloskey duck statues
She patted each duckling, from Jack all the way to Quack
She sat on each of the eight as well
I snuck up on them
“Fooping” ice water
Here’s what I got when I asked to see her face
Apparently this is the pouting rock
Phew, back in the game
That last picture reminded me of this other one from about a year ago. Same ball, same yard, same tot…sort of!)
Carseat companion
Just hangin’ at the farm
Climbing the fence at the sheep barn
Getting crafty with the drum carder
Oh, the allure of gravel
One full wagon
It takes longer these days but Hazel still eventually gets fed up with the camera
No one loves our fake wall as much as Lincoln
Except maybe Hazel
It’s a good thing someone was willing to pick up tiny rocks while we waited for the farmers to break for lunch
Accidental twinsies in yellow
Actual catching!
Farmer Sutton gets to the bottom of the bug situation (there was a green one, a red one and an ant)
As usual Hazel loves chickens
This one’s the real deal
