Hazel eating

She skipped the whole baby food thing wanted nothing to do with it. She is starting to get the eating thing.

Pigeons at the Zoo

We fed the birds while we waited for the zoo to open. Well we fed the bird and Rachel if you notice she snacks on the bread too

Blockbuster

My brother Eric works at the same blockbuster that I did. They had a marvel vs. Capcom challenge and everyone dressed up. SO fun.

rainy day

 So it started raining cats and dogs on like mon or tues. Anyway it is so cute how they like to run around in the rain. I remember liking it ...it's just the idea of driving home wet...not fun. That and I don't think Hazel is really up for it yet. They did have lots of fun though. This is what I missed in Utah. Trees and REAL rain.

pop-pops

fireworks

Dirk invited people over to watch some small fireworks in the evening and have some smores and dessert. The kids really had fun Rachel's favorite was probably the pop-pops.

The 4th parade

The parade was really nice this year. Not quite as hot as usual and Brian saved everyone spots. There was lots of candy and cool things like t shirts, Frisbee, footballs, beach balls and the like.
