Goodbye Summer Vacay!

How is it already the end of August?? Time flies when you're having fun!

I was able to take a couple days off work to spend with my favorite girl before she started school.

She had so much fun on her science center visit with her Papa and cousin!

Sleepover fun with a dance friend!

Movie time!
Dog Days- such a cute movie!!

Trying out Nothing Bundt Cakes- delish!

Pottery Painting with friends- our first time at Bulldog Ceramics. 

Tropical Smoothie time!!  The only time she'll eat spinach and kale....

Such a great summer with our favorite girl.  Now it's time to get back to routine, hit the books and start fall dance... we are ready!

State Fair Time!

Reagan had the fun opportunity to dance with her competition team at the fair this year. We made a family day out of it and had a great time checking out the sights, watching Rea enjoy the rides and eating our weight in fried food.

Until next year!

Up, Up and Away!

Reagan and I went with our friends to the National Balloon Classic. It had been 5 years since we've been and the weather was perfect for it.

We timed it just right and the balloons were coming in for landing when we arrived.  Such a beautiful peaceful sight!

Making a sand necklace...

Night glo!  We loved watching all the balloons light up at the same time.

A great night with friends!

Firsts~ Dunk Tank!

We crashed our friend's neighborhood block party and Reagan tried out the dunk tank!  She loved it!

Cotton candy... because dunk tanks work up an appetite!

Fun with art!

Summer Art class

Reagan loves the paint classes hosted by the local paint galleries around town... she was excited to visit one with her cousin this week.  Such a cute design!

Art in the Garden

This is such a cute program put on by the Master Gardner assoc.  They set up nature art crafts in the enabling garden every summer.  Rea had fun painting and making flower crafts.
