The Park Rocks

Today we all went to the park. Eric's kids were at Grammy and Grampy's this weekend, so we had a pretty lively group that needed some serious outdoor time. We packed up the kids about 11am and took off to the new park in our neighborhood. At first, Reagan wasn't real sure about the swing that Grammy put her in. She and I were both being conservative with how high she went. But once Zack started pushing her higher, she lit up. She giggled. Ah!!! I forgot she was my little daredevil.

Once Jim and Jordan showed up after swim practice, Jim took over. He followed Reagan around while the other kids went nuts. She started climbing everything - literally. I of course, wanted to be right next to her the whole time, but couldn't. It was so hard to let her do stuff AND not be able to watch her. Ugh.

She climbed everything. She loved the slides, the climbing wall, the mushy flooring around the stuff, everything. We all had a great time. The awesome thing about it was that it totally wore her out.

Creation Museam

Today we went to the Creation Museum with Grammy, Grampy and the Schansberg boys. It was a great day. Reagan was really easy and the kids had a great time running around, I got some cool pics and was generally impressed with the museum.

The museum is definitely a place that you could go back to over and over again. It was too much to get all at once and definitely too much with six kids in tow. I hope that we go back at some point when we can spend a little more time at each exhibit to read and learn more.

Reagan overall was pretty easy to manage. She didn't like being in the stroller - I think there was too much separation for her with the crowds. I ended up carrying her in the Jeep carrier all day. She ate and slept on me unless I had to use the restroom - then I gave her to Jim. :)
