April 15th. Touring a local nature park.

Something has attracted Hazel's attention.

It's a miniature goat!

Lunch and a crayon break.

Grandpa Frank gives Hazel a lesson in roundabouts.

April 16th. A romp in the yard in Hazel's Easter finery.

Run!

Dance with her shadow!

Run again!

April 22nd. Elizabeth says, "Hazel went to a birthday party for one of her little friends on Saturday in a village just near Macclesfield called Langley. Hazel had a good time playing Pass the Parcel and Musical Bumps (dance until the music stops and then sit down *bump* on the floor; you’re out if you’re the last to sit)."

Musical bumps.

"David finally bought himself some sunglasses for cycling and golf, which Hazel had fun trying on."

April 23rd. Blaze Farm (http://www.blazefarm.com/). Here Hazel is being brave with a goat. "We just missed seeing two little lambs born. We were in the lambing shed to see the mothers standing around, panting and looking ready to pop. Then we went for an ice cream and while we were gone one of the mothers gave birth! Still, Hazel got to see the twin lambs all wet and saw the farmer help them have their first drink of milk."
