Firestone & Tippy - 214/365



Jim and I were heading up to Akron today for the golf tournament.

It was pouring down rain when we left, but the "blob" looked like it would be through, by the time we got up there. We didn't bring any ponchos or an umbrella, which was a BIG mistake.

When we got off the bus, it was like a monsoon! We had to run to the gate, which is undercover, thankfully. Then, we decided to run to the gift shop to wait out the rain. My hair was done for, with the rain, so I decided to buy a hat. Since it was the last day of the tournament, some things were on sale. I happened to walk by and one of the employees was trying to get rid of the "youth" hats. She said they sometimes fit adults. I ended up trying one on and it fit!!! I got it for three dollars! Woohoo!

Eventually the rain slowed down, so we headed back to our military tent. It was really nice! They had free pops and waters and snacks. YUM! We hung out there while the officials cleared the course and the golfers could get out there.

Sergio came out and bogeyed the first hole, so he was pretty much done after that. We watched him for most of his round. He always chokes on Sunday.

We were standing on one hole when we saw his girlfriend nearby. I decided to just go up and say "hi". What the heck, right!? She was so sweet and just chatted away. She even gave me the biggest hug. It was so sweet!

We had a fun day, even with our soggy start!

Meanwhile, Reagan hung out with Nana and Papa today. They went for a walk and played around the house. They were going to dinner and Reagan even helped papa get dressed up with a flower in his hair. He looked fab!

This evening they went to Tippy and she even paid the bill! They were thrilled! LOL!

She also took a couple selfies with Nana's phone!

At the tournament!

Nature Hour and Legacy - 66/365

Now that Reagan is three, she can participate in Children's Nature Hour at Mill Creek Park. It's essentially the same thing as Tales for Tots, just for the 3-5 year olds. They were having class at Birch Hill Cabin today and the topic was whales. 

They did a super cool activity for the kids. The instructors made a huge grid in the parking lot, gave each kid a square and a picture of what to draw in their square. When the kids were done drawing and you took a step back. You could see they had drawn a whale to scale. It was awesome and they loved seeing how big they actually are. 

After that, we did story time and the craft. The craft was adorable! They had little plastic Dixie cups they painted blue. Then, glued tails and eyes on it and used white curled pipe cleaners as the "spout." It was so, so cute! Reagan was proud of hers! 

After whale class, Nana, Reagan and I ran up to Legacy Village to do a little Spring shopping for Reagan. One of our favorite stores had gotten a bunch of Spring lines in, so we wanted to check it out. We had lunch at Brio, another one of our favorites! Reagan loves eating there because they have that paper over the tablecloths that you can draw on. She practiced her name and did GREAT! 

After lunch, we had some frozen yogurt at a Menchies like place. Reagan was thrilled! 

On the way home, Reagan was playing with Nana's phone, watching old videos of herself. She then asked me to turn around, so she could take my picture. After that, we just heard the shutter going and going. She was taking pictures of everything, it was a hoot! She even took her very first "selfie!" We were howling! 

The photo of the day is Reagan's first "selfie."

Finally, Reagan and her name at Brio.
