While Megan is away...

With Megan out of town at a wedding, her Reign of Terror with an Iron Fist of Doom was put on hold for the weekend (as was her strict No Fun policy) . With our new found freedom, Hazel and I spent some time at the park, at the Children's Museum, and generally enjoying our time together.

Hazel surveys the remarkably empty playground

She loves that there is stuff here just her size

Especially the slides!

And she lasted a lot longer on the merry-go-round than Daddy (who barely managed to not barf)

Hazel checking out the water table at the Museum

Here we are coloring. Interesting note: We have pictures of her proving that she is both a righty and a lefty

Hazel really enjoyed riding the carousel

In case you were wondering, Hazel loves chicken nuggets and fries

And, if you are ever at a loss at what to do on a beautiful day, go swinging

The Great Easter Egg Hunt!

This morning, Megan, Hazel, and I decided to head over to Brownsburg for the town Easter Egg Hunt. As instructed, we showed up early so as to begin promptly at 11:00. At 11:05, the natives were getting restless. However, at about 11:10, the countdown began, and eggs were hunted. They had things broken up by age group. Hazel fit it quite nicely with the 2 and unders, but, when you look at the pictures, remember that she was one of five groups going at the same time, and she was on one of the smaller hunting grounds.

Hazel shows off her hunting attire and her egg basket.


Daddy tries to pose for a picture, but Hazel has to plan out her route in the hunting grounds.


The countdown begins...


And here is our leader out of the gate! She didn't know what to do at first, but got the hang of it pretty quickly.


Eggs and candy! What a great way to spend a morning.


Well, spend a morning with a couple thousand of your neighbors. (This was just the 2 and under hunting ground - the ground was clear in about 2 minutes!)


Hazel retreats to take stock of her find.


Someone thought it was a good idea to put out Ring Pops for the little ones. Hazel thanks them.
