Trip to the zoo and riding bikes

**NOTE: I know the formatting is funky, but it is too hard to fix it. It went all crazy when I edited the HTML. I am just happy that I updated. **

Last weekend we went to the zoo with Gloria and Anthony and Steven and Grandma Marilyn and Grandpa Bernie and Jenni. The cousins posed for a picture on the rhino. Jenni got a better picture but I am too lazy to go get her picture. But, it would look like this, but better.

It was a rather adventurous day at the zoo. We saw the giant tortoises, let's say "hug". Oh, it was hilarious. And then we watched the zoo keepers feed the crocodiles rats (dead rats). It was disgusting, but awesome.


We also saw lots more animals. And we rode on the train. And we fed some ducks. And we played on the playground. And we pet a snake. And Hazel was so nice about holding Gloria's hand. Until she wasn't. (Note: this was the only "incident" of the day, the rest of the time Hazel was nice and kept her hands and mouth to herself, and we caught it pretty quickly)


Then on Sunday we celebrated Auntie Jenni's 27th birthday. Grandma and Hazel bonded over slots.










Yesterday, the mama and the Hazel went to the Farmer's Market. The mama likes to wear her hydration pack. The Hazel likes to do what the mama does and wanted her own. So, I rigged a waistpack hydration pack (that I hated) into a little backpack (that Hazel loves). Here she is showing off how cute she is in her little backpack.

She thought something was hilarious. I am not sure what...




It is tiring riding to the Farmer's Market. It is not really that far of a distance but there are hills (slight ones) and then if there is wind, which there was on Saturday, it is really hard. You wouldn't think adding an extra 60 pounds and a giant wind-catcher would make a difference, but let me tell you. It does. Anyway, even though Hazel just has to ride in the trailer, she was still tired after the trip.
