Train Hotel in Dunsmuir CA

Up in the cupola of the caboose train.

Learning to work in the train yard.

Birds eye view from the cupola.

I've been working on the railroad!

Crazy face with a crazy face!

Hazie's lucky number 26 Caboose. She loved staying in a caboose for the night. Our caboose had a cupola so she had fun climbing up the ladder and sitting up high.

Ahhh...but what is better than a train to a water loving girl???? The pool of course!!!! (No we weren't being over the top in the water safety department...she wanted to wear her water wings and her tube at the same time!).

Girl's Get-Away

Yummm....cake batter ice cream (picked based on the color-yellow!)...I was able to get 2 licks out of her! We walked by a toystore and she wanted to hop on the gliding bike..I kept fingers crossed that she didn't drip the whole cone onto the bike!

Cheese!

Girl's Get-Away

Hazel and I went off on our first Girl's getaway to Manzanita Beach to celebrate a belated birthday for Auntie Karen. This is a pic of Hazel and her Auntie Karen braving the COLD water and getting in the waves! Thank you Karen...you saved my cold phobic body from having to get in the water!!! Hazel stayed for a few minutes and then left Karen to swim by herself!

Hazie and Zoey playing on the sand.

It started with Hazel trying to bury our feet and ended with Auntie Karen covering her with sand.
She loved it!!

Ahhh....Happy, smiling, cocoa faces.

Where's the dog??? I can't help but think that she resembles the Coppertone girl with the dog pulling on her suit. Pure joy is on her face, running on the beach in the cold!

2011 Camp Trip #1

She is her Daddy's little girl...can't pass an opportunity to put her feet into some water....even if it is colder than cold!!!

Standing in her "Castle Tree".

Picture of waterfall #2. Ohhh, ahhh.

Hiking along, on her own two feet!!

I don't know, something just happens to us when we get into nature!

2011 Camp Trip #1

Smiling in a "cave" behind the first waterfall at Silver Falls.

Looking out over the top of the waterfall.

Hazel is becoming a good hiker and camper. Getting her ready for the August trip with the Uncles, Aunts and cousins.
