Hersheypark & Waterpark - 227/365

Dinner at lodge, granny bugs, rode all the coasters
Today we were going to spend some time at the Waterpark. It looked really awesome and Reagan was excited!
We did a few of the big slides. Then we decided to climb around on the jungle gym. We all decided to try the purple slide. It was one Reagan could go on herself, so I went first to be at the bottom for her. When I got to the end, the force of the slide pushed my bathing suit top up and everyone got quite the show. YIKES!

After that, I was a little nervous for Reagan to come down, but she had no trouble. She survived and loved it. 

We got dried off and hit a bunch more coasters. Reagan really took to the Sooper Dooper Looper. LOL 

This evening, we just had dinner at one of the nicer restaurants in the lodge. It was nice!

Waterpark!

Hersheypark - 226/365

We were starting out today at Hershey Park. When we got in, we got Reagan measured to see what she could go on. She was a Reece's Cup which meant she could go on a few coaster. Even a looping one. She was so excited!

We got right in line for the Comet. She loved it. We're so happy she's not afraid of that stuff.

We had a great day exploring the park. 

This afternoon, we decided to do a little swimming at the pool. It was nice and refreshing after a hot day at the park. Reagan even got Mr. Fuzzy and friends all suited up for a swim. They decided not to hit the pool though afterall. ;)

This evening, we went back over and hit some more rides. Especially the Coal Cracker. That seems to be a fan favorite!

Lady Antebellum in Hershey - 225/365

Today we were off to Hershey for the weekend. We were going to see Lady Antebellum and visit Hersheypark.

We left home around 10 and got into Hershey around two. We were staying at the Hershey Lodge and it was beautiful! Reagan was loving all the Hershey bars laying around.

We went to have a little snack at the Hershey Lodge. We found a cute little place called the Bears Den. It was YUMMY!

After, we went up to try to nap for a little before we headed over to the show.

Reagan was so excited for the show. We got her all decked out in her outfit. She looked adorable!!!

We found some tables at the arena where we hung out and colored and had a few drinks while Hunter Hayes was out. It was fun!

Soon it was time for Lady Antebellum! Reagan was so excited to hear Hey Bartender, Long Stretch of Love and 747. She was mesmerized during the show. She busted when Charles layed down on the stage. She kept saying "Why was Charles laying on the stage?"

She loved 747 but couldn't understand why they changed it a bit. They put a dark spin on it and slowed it down. It really was awesome, but she wanted to hear it the way she knows.

Overall it was a great first day in Hershey. Looking forward to the park tomorrow!

Cruise Club -208/365

Today Nana took Reagan to gymnastics again for me. She loves taking her and it gives me time to get some stuff done. 

Reagan was so happy today because they did rings. They hadn't done them in quite awhile, so it made her whole day.

This afternoon, we hit up the mall to check out the new Gymboree. We got excited walking through Dillard's on the way there, because they had a big Paris display. That got us so excited for our trip next Spring. We can't wait. 

This evening, we were having our Cruise Club meeting. We were going to have dinner at Inner Circle. Reagan took a special liking to Matt. She made him coloring and she talked with him all night. 

On the way home, she kept yelling "Uncle Matt" in the car. It was the cutest thing. We had a great Cruise Club.

Karen Party, Greg BBQ - 198/365

We had double events today! 

First, we were hitting up our buddy Karen's 50th birthday party! It was at V2 downtown and it was a surprise. Boy was she surprised! Shocked was more like it. It was cute!

We got to visit with her a bit. They had some yummy appetizer stuff and scrumptious cupcakes! 

We had a really nice time!

This afternoon, we were heading over to Jim's parents for Greg's annual BBQ. It was a hot one this year. Up in the upper 80's and lower 90's. That couldn't stop our fun though.

He always does a nice job with it. It's so nice to visit with everyone, too. 

He does steaks and chicken on the grill with the help of Frank and Sean. Everything is always so yummy. Then everyone else will bring a side. It works out great. 

They got a bounce house for the kids, and Sean and Barb said that they could go swimming in their pool. The kids had a blast running all over the place. They sure got tired out. 

The girls at one point were in the bathroom, all three were looking in the mirror checking out the lip gloss they put on from Ally's purse! It was the CUTEST thing. Love them!

It was a great day spent with friends and family. 

Happy 50th, Karen!

Gotta love Karen!

Circle of Friends Mixer, Columbus - 192/365

Today we didn't do much in the morning. We just hung around the house, which after the last two days, was a welcome thing. I did have to spend a little time packing four our trip to Piqua tomorrow, but that wasn't going to be very much work. 

This evening we were going to the annual Circle of Friends Golf Outing Mixer at the Lake Club. It's always such a nice event. They always have wonderful food and company. 

The dinner this year was pretty cool. It was called Thanksgiving in a bowl. It was all Thanksgiving food on the buffet, but you have a bowl to put it all in. It was delicious!

Greg was excited to have Jim Tressel in attendance this year. He called him on stage to say a few words and then asked him to sign his bobblehead. He was more than happy to do so. 

After dinner they held their putting contest. Reagan always like to participate in that, too! Her, Jim and Papa Keith and Papa Greg always do a good job. 

It's such a great event. 

We were so happy to have the whole Musilli crew there this year, too. Ronnie & Papa Ron have teams in the tournament. We had a nice time!

After the dinner, Reagan, Nana and I were off to Columbus. We were gonna stay down there to meet Ed, Pam, Emma & Noah at the Columbus Zoo tomorrow. Reagan was so exctied to see Emma and Noah again. We had an uneventful ride to Columbus and jammed to Taylor Swift the whole way. 

When we got to the hotel, we got some snacks at the little store and had a little picnic in the room. Reagan was loving drinking her juice out of a wine glass. She kept saying she was a "big girl!"

Nana settled into her "Nana Nest" and Reagan and I settled into our rooms. 

It was a great day!

Laura's Party & Tippy Fireworks - 185/365

Today we were able to relax a bit in the morning. It was nice after such a busy day yesterday.

This afternoon, we were heading over to Matt and Laura's new house. They wanted to have a 4th/House warming party. 

Thier house was just beautiful! Everything already looks perfect! It's like they've lived their forever! They will be very happy there. 

The kids had fun running around the yard doing bubbles, poppers and playing bocci. They always play so nice together! It's cute to see! We had a nice time. 

After Laura's we were going to meet Ray and Jenn at Nana and Papa's to go over to Tippy for thier 4th of July party.

Unfortunately, Ray and Jenn got in a minor accident on the way over. They were ok and the car was driveable, but it was still some pretty good damage. What a pain for them.

We ended up walking up which is always nice. We got a nice table and had a yummy dinner. They had the traditional picnic food in a buffet. It was yummy.

After that, we went outside to walk the sky divers and get a balloon from the clown. Reagan asked for a Mermaid and he was able to do it. It was amazing! He even gave it red hair like Ariel! Reagan was thrilled!

The sky divers were amazing too. How they jump out of a plane and land where they are supposed to is beyond me. 

After that, we found a nice place to put down the blanket Ray and Jenny brought. It had a silky texture, so Reagan realized she could slide down it. She was calling it her slip and slide. She was having a ball. She even threw in a couple somersaults!  It was a hoot. 

It was another great day with friends and family!

Jim's President's Party - 177/365

Today was the long awaited Boardman Rotary President's Party for Jim. He was nervous all day, but Reagan helped keep in relaxed. She made him and Brinkley play watermelon fairy and ketchup man. Brinkley even got in on the fun today and was mustard man. He was wearing Jim's yellow vest! LOL! She loves that. It's like her favorite thing. Her costume is getting a bit small though. She wore it two years ago at Halloween!

Finally it was time to get ready for the party! We were a little late getting ready. Terry and Bill showed up a few minutes early, so they just hung out in the foyer until we were ready. LOL!

They just picked us up in Terri's car, but that catch was they made it into a news car. They had WKBN and Stifel signs all over the side. 

When we got there, everyone was outside waving. Jim got our of the car and yelled, "I'm HERE!" Everyone laughed. 

He was happy to have his mom and dad and my mom and dad there along with Reagan. 

They decorated the tables in sweater vests and news cards. It was so cool. They got some old media posters and trading cards right from WKBN themselves. It was awesome!

The skits were hilarious. Terry and Bill pretended to put on a news show. They were looking for Jim who they called the "least present President" because we travel so much. 

The first had Mason pretend to be our handyman and house sitter. He said he was at our house 370 days out of 365. 

Next, they had our dog sitter. She said that she watches Brinkley so much that her kids think he's their dog. LOL!

Finally, Jim's personal physician, Benjamin Dover. Who came out and presented all the good information about Jim and his Presidency. Rotary always throws a good party with some fantastic skits. They poke fun, but also show a lot of love to whom was the President. 

Jim followed up with an absolutely amazing speech. Everyone loved it. 

Jim, Reagan and I were also presented Paul Harris Fellow awards thanks to Nana and Papa. They are the highest rotary award. We are so honored and grateful!

Very nice day!
