Dessert Time - 231/365

Today was a busy day. 

I woke up at 5:30am to go spinning! Whew! Once I was up it was fine and I was glad I went. 

Today, Reagan was playing over grandma's house. She had a good day. 

This evening, Jim, Reagan and I met Ray and Jennifer, and Ed and Pam at Rachel's for dinner. 

We had a great family fun dinner!

Chocolate World and Caverns - 228/365

We were leaving Hershey today, but we were going to try to fit in a few more activities. 

We wanted to go over to Chocolate World, so Reagan could ride the ride and we wanted to do a little shopping. It wasn't too crowded, so that was nice.

After Chocolate World, we were going to hit up Indian Echo Caverns. 

Reagan was so excited to go in a cave. She couldn't wait!

They have it really nice in there, they have a few lights and the path is nice and smooth, so we didn't have to worry about Reagan falling in a hole or anything. 

We loved our tour!

Before finally heading home, we let her do some mining. She loves looking for the precious gemstones. She's getting quite the collection. We got her a little glass vase to keep them all in. She loves it!

Our ride home was good and uneventful. Good day!

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!

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!

Garland Party & Golf - 213/365

Today Reagan and I were heading to a birthday party. 

Amy invited us to Nate and Carina's fifth birthday party. I can't believe they are five. Time sure is flying. 

They were having a circus themed party. Amy planned little carnival games and they rented a snow cone and cotton candy machine. The kids were loving it! They had such a blast.

Reagan was a bit shy at first, but warmed up after her sugar rush set in.
When it was time to eat, Reagan was thrilled because they were having her new favorite foods, hot dogs. She's loving them! 

We had a really nice afternoon at the party. 

While we were at the party Jim was off to play golf with the guys. 

They went out to Tamer Wind to play today! The weather was good for a change and they all hit the ball pretty well. They had a nice time.

Tippy Swim Day - 209/365

Today was Reagan's play day with Nana. I dropped her off on my way to spin class bright and early.
Nana was getting ready to water her flowers, so Reagan was excited to help her with that. She likes to fill up all the buckets for her!
Later this afternoon, since it was going to be 90, they decided to head over to Tippy for a swim. They had the whole pool to themselves. They swam, had lunch, then swam some more.
They had a really fun day together!

Bark at the Park - 206/365

Tonight was going to be one of our favorite nights. It was dog night at the Scrappers!

We just love taking Brinkley to the game. Ron and Rachel were going to bring the kids, but Ron came down with posion ivy from all the party preps. 

Raymond and Jennifer were coming out with Dexter, so that's always fun! Greg and Nikki came out for a bit, too! It was fun! 

When we got there, we tried to go to our regular seats, but a man said we couldn't sit there with Brinkley and that we had to sit in the bleachers with him. We said we had sat down in the corner for the past three years. After a little bit of going back and forth, he finally said we could sit where we normally do. Thank goodness. 

Reagan and I were able to go down on the field for the pet parade. We got to take Brinkley on a walk around the whole field. It was so fun. Reagn was in her glory. 

Brinkley was enjoying all the snacks! He had a whole hotdog, lots of chips, dog biscuits and about five bowls of water. He was a HOG!

Dexter was so good, he basically just layed under Jennifer's chair. He's a good little boy!

After the game, Reagan got to run the bases again. She's become quite fond of doing that!

We had another fun night at Bark at the Park.

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!

Farm, Golf & S'Mores - 136/365

Today was another busy one!

Papa, Nana, Reagan and I headed down to the farm to visit with Granddad and Grandma. It wasn't a party or anything, just a little visit. It was a nice day, so we decided to take a little walk around the property. Reagan found a ton of Dandelions that had gone to fuzz. She just loves to blow them off, so we spent some time doing that. It was so cute!

While we were off doing that, Jim, Greg, Steve, Frank and Joe hit the links. They played a round of golf at Pine Lakes in Hubbard. The had a nice day and played well. They stopped for a beverage at the club house afterwards.

This evening, Jessie and Jessica invited us and Ron and Rachel up to their house to make some S'mores on their fire pit. It was so nice to let the kids run around and play, while the adults had some drinks and chatted. Everyone had a blast!

It was such a nice day for all.

Fun Warehouse - 126/365

Today was going to be a rainy day, so we decided to try out the Fun Warehouse.

It was down a little south of the airport, so not too far.
They had roller skating, miniature bowling and an arcade.

We decided to roller skate first. Nana laced up and went out like she was a professional. She went right down on her butt! It was a HOOT! Reagan did great since they had the little skate walkers. She was a little nervous, but loved it, too!

After we skated awhile, we tried out the bowling. It was perfect for the little ones. Reagan loved it. She would have bowled all day.

We spent a little time playing some games after. She got enough tickets for a rubber frog, a couple rings and some candy. She was stoked.

This evening was Ruth's Chris night. One of our favorite nights, too! Uncle Eddie bought Reagan another tube. This one was farm animals. We had a blast making scenes with them at dinner.

After dinner when we were waiting for the car, Reagan was loving twirling in her dress. It was a hoot!

It was another fabulous day, despite the rain.

Skating!
