Walking

Hazel has been walking and running all day today. Very little being carried. She just looked at me, pointed at the curb, and said "daddy, I’m tired, I’m going to sit down and take a little break. " Then she sat down with a big sigh.

Hazel likes digging in the sand for bones. And playing in the carcass.
Out for a ride.

Hazel is now riding the ponies unaccompanied and not hooked up to the carousel thing. I absolutely love that Hazel gets to go to the zoo and ride ponies today with her awesome dad. Thanks for taking her. What a wonderful childhood. – Kim

She’s only taking a shower, but hazel is not happy about it.
