Summer Fun - 218/365

Today was a super busy day!

We started, just hanging around the house. Reagan kept putting her friends on Brinkley's head. He just kept looking like "help me!"

After I got out of the shower, I came into my bedroom to Reagan looking pretty proud that she was petting the dog AND cat at the same time on our bed. It was too cute!

Nana came to pick us up and we were going to hit the three mile trail before Brinkley's grooming appointment. Reagan insisted on bringing her little shopping cart with all her friends in it. She brought all three Mr. Fuzzies. It was too cute!

We got through our walk and it was time to drop Brinkley off at his appointment. I ran him in and when I came out, Reagan burst into tears. She was crying so hard she could barely breath. She thought we were going to leave Brinkley there and not pick him back up. I assured her we would. It was beyond pitiful!

While Brinkley was at his appointment, Nana, Reagan and I went to Dutch Haus to eat lunch, then we stopped out at Haus farms to get some fresh produce. Reagan made quick friends with a cat named, Stinky. He wasn't stinky at all, that's just what they called him. They just sat on the bench together and she talked to him forever. It was so precious!

This evening, Jim and his mom headed over to the Scrappers game. They love going over there and it's always a good time. Jim said it was a little crazy, since it was dollar beer night, but they still had fun. They got pretty good seats, too!

Playing at Nana's - 217/365

Jim went off to work.

Brinkley and I decided we wanted to do another LONG walk. We ended up doing a repeat of yesterday, Kirk to 224 and two hours! Whew!

Reagan was with Nana today. They were going to hang around and play toys all day. They made a big playground with the playmobile and had some lunch. They had fun!

Nice Long Walk - 216/365

Jim was off to work and Reagan was off to Grandma's.

I was going to mow and I wanted to get  a nice long walk in.
Brinkley and I went up to the Kirk to Herbert trail. We actually walked Kirk to 224 and back. It took us about two hours, but it was a perfect day! We enjoyed our stroll!

 

 

Cruise Club - 215/365

Tonight we were having our Cruise Club meeting at Inner Circle in Canfield. We love to get our whole group together every once in awhile to talk about our upcoming cruise. We all wear our cruise themed clothes, too! LOL!

We talk excursions and just day dream about the fun in the sun. We had a great evening! The kids enjoyed themselves with some dancing and hugs!

The kiddos!

 Hugs!

 

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!

Walk, Flood and a Boat - 213/365

Today we were just going be around the house.

It was actually supposed to get pretty rainy in the afternoon, so we wanted to go and try to get a walk early afternoon. We went up and did the Kirk to Herbert trail. It was pretty hot, but we got it done. Soon enough, it started to POUR down rain. One of the hardest rains I had ever seen. Jim actually, had taken our car up to get it washed, since we were going to Akron tomorrow. Even though it was supposed to rain today, it was so dirty that it still needed a trip through the car wash.

When Jim was on his way home, he said that the main road by the house was flooded out. It was crazy! In all the years we've lived here, it has NEVER done that. It was something to see. When the rain stopped, it retreated quickly which was good.

This evening, Nana and Papa offered to take Reagan over night. With the weather rolling in, it was rumored that the golfers would be going off both nines tomorrow, which would start the tournament super early. Sergio was actually doing really well in the tournament, so we wanted to make sure we saw him. Especially if he won it all! Anyway, Nana and Papa said, instead of waking Reagan up early to go over their house, she could just stay tonight. That was fine with us! She loves her PJ parties! They had a good time. They watched Frozen and Reagan made papa push her in a plastic bin and play "boat!" They love their special time with her!

Garden, Golf and a Concert - 212/365

It was going to be a busy day today!

Reagan and I started at Family Garden day. This week we were tasting hummus, harvesting vegetables and investigating insects.

Reagan was so excited when she was able to pull a carrot right out of the ground! She was shocked that's how they come out, all dirty. She wanted to go in the bathroom right away and clean it all off. She was amazed when it was a perfect orange carrot! I love that she's learning all this stuff.

After that, we went to the insect table to investigate some bugs. Her favorite was the monarch butterfly.

To end the morning, we did her butterfly craft. She loved decorating it with the puffy cotton balls.

This afternoon, Jim called from work with some exciting news. He was listening to the radio on the way to lunch when he heard about a contest for free tickets to the Firestone Golf Tournament this weekend. He called in and was the lucky caller! He had to answer three questions and he got all three right! We now have free tickets to the tournament, which include passes to the military tent with free food! Yay! Way to go, Jimmy!

This evening, Nana and I were heading to Blossom to see Rascal Flatts for the umpteenth time! We just love them and they always put on a good show. They opened with an acapella version of "Happy" by Pharell Williams. It was great!

Sheryl Crow opened up and then came out for a couple songs later. She did a pretty good job.

It was a great show overall!
