Okay so I promised I would tell you the positive aspects of my trip, prior to the car ride from Hell. So I come bearing pictures! Of cute little girls, crazy boys, and generally fun times. These are pictures from an hour or two at my cousin Meg's house, with my two siblings and her two children. On to the pictures!

This is Hazel! She's 3 years old and absolutely adorable. Quite the terror too, though. She loves to coerce people into playing games with her and then monopolize them for several hours. My cousin Meg (Hazel's mom) told me a story about how for this past Christmas Hazel was sick for the school pageant, and none of the other kids would sing or do anything because Hazel wasn't there to give instructions! A natural borndictator leader, this one.

Me, my little sister Meredith, and Hazel. Hazel likes to make funny faces for pictures.


See?

This is my cousin Toby (Hazel's brother) tackling my brother to ensure that only he is in the picture.

That's Toby looking through the clear ball. This was totally an accident. I like it :)

This is my cousin Meg, whom I love to death. She's so much like me it's scary.

Hazel liked doing headstands but needed a little help!

This is one of her attempts. Immediately after she flopped over on her back. They were more forward rolls than headstands, but very cute.

Hazel liked to do an elephant imitation, with her hand for the trunk :)

Me playing "Spin the Hazel"! She demanded everyone do this repeatedly.

Even half of a Hazel face is adorable :)
Well that's my family. Hope you enjoyed ^_^
