Bye Bye Grampie

Hazel had to say goodbye to Grampie today. It was tough to say goodbye, after such a great week exploring Southeastern AZ and getting spoiled out of her mind!

What did they get in to today?

Hazel and Grampie Bob went 900 feet underground in an old copper mine!

The Wild Adventures of Hazel and Grampie Bob

Grampie Bob came out to the Wild West for a visit this week! Hazel is playing hooky from school so they can galavant around in search of adventure and treasures. He has only been here a few days, but they have already explored the San Xavier del Bac mission, found a rare unicorn in Old Town Tucson, climbed a mountain, learned about desert wild life at the Sonoran Desert Museum, and survived an Old West Gun Fight, with the help of an adorable pink cowboy hat and boots. I can't wait to see what else they get in to!

Happy Hearts Day!

Walking with Baby

Walking with a two year old: Hazel took her baby and Khaki for a walks the other day.  It started off well, Hazel pushing her two babies in the stroller, walking along happily.  50 meters into it, she was distracted by the rocks in the neighbor's yard.  Three steps and then we stopped to smell some lavender.   A few more feet and we lost one of the dolls (a minor freak out), Hazel sprinted back to retrieve her and we made it 50 meters. A few more stops to look at the snowy mountains, neighbors dog, and cars.  Rounding the corner towards our house, Hazel decided that she was DONE and in true "terrible two" fashion, collapsed on the sidewalk, removed her shoes, threw her babies, kicked the stroller into the street, and flailed on the ground for 5 minutes while I watched, mortified in front of our whole neighborhood.  We barely completed the final stretch, Mommy carrying a shoe-less Hazel, Khaki, a poo bag, a mini baby stroller, two babies, and the mail!  Oh dear!
