Golfing, Swimming and Singing - 234/365

Today was a busy day. 

Jim started his day on the golf course with the boys. They played over at Avalon and had a great time! 

This evening, Jim and Reagan went over to his parents for a little cookout and swimming. Reagan just loves swimming in Sean and Barb's pool. They had a nice time. 

Nana and I were off to see Darius tonight at Blossom. We were so excited! We hadn't been to Blossom very much this year. It was nice to be back in our wrist band area and have good parking! LOL!

It was a fun day for all!

Play Date Times Two - 230/365

Today we Reagan and I were having some of the girls over. 

It was going to be a beautiful day, so we blew up a couple of the pools and slip and slide. 

Deanna, Marissa and the girls all got there right at 10 and we had a great visit. The girls had a ball playing together, too.

Little Mike hug in there with everyone, too. We looked over at one point and he had the play tongs for Reagan's BBQ on his face. We howled!

This evening we were going to have a porch party with Ron and Rachel and the rest of the neighborhood crew. We had a really fun night. The kids had a blast.

Reagan was so tired at the end of the 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!

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!

Milana Swim Party, Girls Night - 210/365

Today was Milana's actual birthday, so we decided to head over to Tippy and have a little swim party for her.
Nana, Reagan and I, Rachel and the kids all headed over at 11. Tiffany Smith and her sister Melanie happened to be there, too. It was great! The kids had a ball swimming in the big pool and splashing around in the baby pool. 

We had a little lunch, then the kids favorite, ice cream! Milana was double-fisting ice cream at one point. It was so cute! 

We had a really nice day. 

This evening, Jim and Reagan were going to take Brinkley for a walk and play outside. 

I was heading up to Inner Circle to visit with Deanna, Marissa and Stephanie at Inner Circle!

We had lots of fun girl talk. Love those ladies, 

Swimmers!

Birthday Girl!

Me and my pals.

Girls night!

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!

Hole & Slip and Slide - 207/365

We have a huge hole in the wall thanks to a plumbing issue in our shower. 

We had no water pressure for a couple weeks, so we finally called out the plumber. We had been showering in Reagan's room which was a big pain in the butt. 

Unfortunately the valve in the shower had gone bad and they only way they could access it was to go through the wall. They had to pull some tile off the wall, which they broke. UGH. 

Now we have a huge hole in the wall and broken tile. At least the water pressure is fixed. 

This afternoon, I wanted to run out to Sam's Club to pick up the slip and slide that Ron and Rachel have for the kids. It was such a hit at Milana's party. Reagan really loved it. 

Luckily they had one, we got it home and set up. She spent the whole evening going on that thing. It was worth the $40 bucks just for that night!

We made a stop at Giant Eagle before we got home this afternoon, and Reagan commented about the rollers at the self check out lane. She said "Mom look! These look like the rollers at Animal Kingdom that keep the animals in their own area." That's our girl. Everything goes back to Disney! It was so cute!

Bye Butterfly - 201/365

Today was a sad day. 

Our little handicapped butterfly that we called "wheels" died. He came out handicapped. He had bag legs and a deformed probiscus. We did the best we could taking care of him. We gave him fresh oranges and took him out to sit on flowers. He only lived about two days so Reagan took it pretty well. She was still sad though. We buried him next to Crumbles in the back yard. She's already asking when we can get another batch of caterpillars to raise. It really is fun!

This evening, we were filling up the pool for the first time. It's amazing it's late June and this is really the first time we could do it. 

Reagan was excited beacuse Alivia was coming over to swim. We were getting pizza and some drinks. Us adults had a great time chatting and catching up, since we hadn't seen the Crawfords in awhile. 

We had a nice night!

Filling the pool!

Last Day at the Beach - 128/365

Nana and Papa were heading home today.

The rest of us decided we would stay and drive home Sunday. Reagan was devastated that more people were leaving. She hyperventilated cried. It was pitiful! We finally got her cheered up with some swimming!

But before they left, Nana and I headed out for a morning shelling adventure! It was pouring and windy, but we had a blast! We didn't find anything overly unusual. But we had to try!

Even with Tropical Storm Anna looming out there, it was still pretty sunny today. We got some good beach and pool time in! YAY! It was great!

This evening, we just got a pizza and got most everything packed up.

Uncle Eddie had pinky promised Reagan that he would swim with her, so this evening, we did get him in the pool. Reagan was thrilled and was loving showing him all her moves in the pool. It was so fun!

After swimming, we got all dried off and headed upstairs for shadow puppet time. Last year, Reagan was amazing by some shadow puppets Eddie made and she wanted him to do it again. We had got him a book for Christmas, so he was ready! They were a lot harder than it looked! Aunt Pam ended up being the shadow puppet master. We were all laughing so hard we had tears rolling down. It was a blast. Reagan loved when Ed and Pam made shadow puppets together and were trying to eat each other. Too funny! It was a perfect last evening at the beach.

Sand Dollars, Mermaids & Pirates - 127/365

Busy day today!

Nana and I got up at 6:00am and headed out to the beach. I has still been unlucky in my sand dollar search, until this morning. I FOUND TWO perfect ones. I was absolutely amazing. I was jumping up and down and screaming. I couldn't believe it!

I will cherish them!

The rest of the day was going to be a pool/beach day. We just wanted to soak every minute up before the tropical storm started to roll in.

We had a blast! Reagan was LOVING swimming this year. She loved taking her swimmies off in the shallow end, since she could touch now. We had tons of fun with the water camera, too!

After we hit the pool for awhile, we went up for lunch and the second half of the day would be the beach.

Reagan is really into all things fairies now a days, so she wanted to bring her Tinkerbell outfit and all her fairies. We did a little photoshoot on the beach. It was so cute.

After we spend some time building things in the sand and jumping in the waves. They were getting pretty big from the storm! Reagan saw about teenaged girls, doing handstands and flips on the beach, so she wanted to try, too! Jim was helping her, it was just precious. She loves gymnastics!

This evening, we wanted to do another quick dinner, since the Cavs were on again. We decided to take in the Pirate's Voyage show. It's fairly new in Myrtle, but Reagan has just been too young. We decided this would give it a go. We were SO HAPPY we did. The show was phenominal! They theatrics and animal actors were amazing. Reagan even got picked to be in the show! Jim and another guy had to pull a rope attached to a boat. The kids were in there and floated across the water. Their group even WON! YAY!

Reagan also got a mermaid makeover at the beginning. She was LOVING it! She looked so beautiful.

Fun day!

Sand dollars!

Love her!
