Jim florida, Dominic Party, Painting, Tippy Dinner - 347/365

Jim and Greg were ready to spend their first full day in Florida. Jim woke up and put jeans on, took two steps outside and turned around and went back for shorts. It was going to be a gorgeous day!

They drove to the course and were so happy to find out you could park right there. Most tournaments they attend, you have to take a bus from a far away parking lot. The course itself was gorgeous. The course was the Grand Lakes Orlando on the Ritz Carlton property. 

This tournament was great for them, because even though they went specifically to see Jack Nicolaus,  Jim's favorite golfer of all time, they got to see some other big name players as well. They saw Vijay Singh, Lee Travino, Raymond Floyd, and many others.

Jim said they spent time watching groups come through on various tee boxes and the driving range. One highlight, was Greg got to talk with Raymond Floyd for a few minutes and even got his signature on his hat. He was thrilled!

After the tournament, they went back to the hotel for a rest before they hit the Boardwalk for some dinner. They decided to eat at the ESPN Club. After they took a quick spin around the lagoon, before turning in for the night. 

Jim was tempted to hit the Magic Kingdom for a bit tonight, since it was open till 1AM, but he knew he had to be at the course by 8:30 to see Jack tee off. 

Meanwhile at home, Reagan and I had a birthday party to go to. Her little friend Dominic from school was turning, four. The party was down at the clubhouse at Firestone Farms. All the little ones from her class were there, so she had a good time. They had a little bounce around, decorated gingerbread men and hit a pinata. What a fun little party! We had a great time.

This evening, Reagan and I went to Tippy with Nana and Papa. 

Reagan got her cheese bowl and colored lots of pictures. She even wanted to sign for the bill. It was a hoot!

The first pic was them walking into the tournament.

Pictures, Concerts and Football - 310/365

It was a busy day for all! 

Reagan's Preschool Pictures were today! She was excited to get dressed up. Nana was excited to take her, too! Hopefully the come out OK. 

This evening, they went for their special Tippy Dinner. When they got home, they went in Nana & Papa's bathroom for bath time and Reagan made Papa and Brinkley get in the shower! They had to pretend to get all cleaned up! LOL!

They finally got her tucked in for the night and Nana sent us a precious picture of her all snuggled up. We sure miss her!

Meanwhile in Florida, we were spending the morning at Magic Kingdom. We decided to take the boat today, which we never do. It was cool because you could really get a good look at the Polynesian Villas. They look amazing. 

We did some big rides and took in the Festival of Fantasy Parade. I wanted to take some time to try to get some good pictures. It's such a colorful parade!

This evening we were off to Epcot again! We snacked around the world of course. I HAD to have my Germany pretzel. I'm always so amazed at the size. They are as big as your head! 

This evenings concert was David Cook! Out of the couple bands that were playing while we were here, I was most excited about him. He was awesome in concert and has an awesome personality to match. He joked with his band and the crowd. He was genuinely happy to be there. It was a great show!

After Epcot closed, we decided to walk over to the Boardwalk to catch the Browns game at the ESPN club! They were playing Cincinnati. There were a TON of Cinci fans there, YUCK! 

The game started off a little shaky, then all of the sudden the Browns turned it on and kicked some BUTT! They ended up winning and the Cinci fans left before the end of the game! Win, WIN!

Great day!

All set for picture day!

Everyone in the shower!

Sleep well, sweetie!
