Halloween

Had a fun Thanksgiving. Both girls dressed up, Hazel went with friends to trick or treat and have a sleepover. Kim and I met up with Margot and her friends and went trick or treating. Margot won a $20 gift card from a costume contest!

Train ride

Hazel fell asleep minutes into first train. Managed two transfers, including escalators and stairs on our three train ride home. Still asleep as we approach our final stop.

Natural history museum and California science center

Hazel and I had an awesome day exploring both the Natural History Museum, where we are members, and the amazing, free, California Science Center, which are adjacent to each other. We’ve been before, but Hazel loves both and each time we seem to find something new.

Running errands

Peat moss is expensive. Hazel asked to sit by the windows so we could watch the cars.

Birdhouse

Hazel made a birdhouse at the free clinic at Lowe’s today. Fun.

Sick baby requests

Hazel woke from her nap with a specific request to walk and get ice cream. She was pretty happy for about 30 minutes, but it’s back to sick and fussy. Didn’t even finish a single scoop of ice cream… :/

Daredevil

Hazel wanted to walk on the wall with "nooooooo help" When she got to the end, she was thrilled and yelled "Daredevil!!"

Lorikeet

Hazel’s first time feeding the lorikeets at the aquarium of the Pacific.

Wolf

Hazel likes the wolf statue.

“big kid friend”

Hazel has made a little friend today, who is being awesome and playing with her and taking her down the slides. I asked hazel if she wanted me to go with her, and she said "no, I want to go with my big kid friend"

Long Beach Aquarium

Thanks grandma and grandpa. Hazel still loves her birthday gift. We went to the aquarium again today. Right now, she loves (to the point of ignoring a lot of other stuff) the touch exhibits. Today, she touched jellyfish, anemones, star fish, sea cucumbers, horned sharks and a ray. I couldn’t get pictures of them all, […]

At the zoo

I had fun playing photographer while hazel played at the zoo today.

Biltmore/4 seasons

Striding around the gorgeous grounds of the 4 seasons hotel in Santa Barbara.

Spiders

Cool spider exhibit at the natural history museum. Hazel made a spider hat.

Umbrella

I told Hazel she could have whatever she wanted for her birthday. She chose sushi.

Elephants and gardening

" Dear Grandma, Daddy told me you used to collect elephants. I got a watering can the other day shaped like one. I love it. It’s even going out today with me, instead of Minnie,Reggie or Flamingo. Watering plants is fun, though daddy said something about it being inefficient to use his hose to fill […]

Guess who found the sticker store?

Very excited about the “turdle” sticker’s. There were hundreds of stickers, but I asked Hazel which she wanted, and she picked out turtles.
