Hazel goes to the Crusades

The Cross Crusade started today and it was time for Mom to jump feet first in to the fire.  Hazel saw Dad race at a couple Crusade races last year, but this was the first time for Mom to tear it up with over a hundred ladies on the course at once.  Hazel said, "Don't be nervous, Mom.  Just go out there and kill it."  She did a good job calming Mom's nerves and furiously ringing her cowbell.

Upon arrival at Alpenrose, Vanessa immediately swooped in and grabbed Hazel.  She promptly taught Hazel how to properly ring a cowbell, a very important skill for the Cross Crusade.

Vanessa's actions were completely understandable.  I mean, just LOOK at those cheeks.

A little playing with Mom, pre-race, was definitely in order.

Hazel shows herself to be a bona fide Cross Crusade cheerleader while hanging out with Dad.
