Always be yourself. Unless you can be a mermaid. Then always be a mermaid.

For Hazel’s Birthday we went to Point Defiance Zoo to see their brand new Aquarium.

We made sure Hazel was able to ride the much coveted seahorse on the carousel.

This little guy made sure to voice his opinion about our carousel selection for him! It took three different carousel animals to finally satisfy him, settling on the walrus.
