Family Day

Ryan and I played hookie from work today (but since I have co-workers who read this blog, it was planned ahead of time!). We spent the day having fun and doing all sort of kid things! Regan once again, enjoyed ride after ride at Como Town, while Sidney braved only the little train where I got to ride along. She spent the rest of the time waving from the sidelines and looking cute chomping on some popcorn.

After an hour of being on the sidelines, Sidney and I decided to check out some "aminals", like the "jaff" {giraffe}, "zeba" {zebra}, "mokey" {monkey} and "rooaaarr" {anything else}! She enjoyed seeing them all eat their lunch and we were lucky enough to catch part of Sparky's fun show! Her face would do the WOW look when he did a silly trick.

Regan spotted this beautiful rainbow on our drive home, though it wasn't even close to raining. Ryan smiled and said "no matter how old a person, rainbows are always pretty amazing". Isn't that the truth.

Once home and nap time ended, Regan showed off her new trick: a back float! We moved into this house less than 2 months ago. At that time she needed her floaties or a life jacket to maneuver at all in the pool. She has gradually moved away from those two items and now can confidently use a tube or a noodle into the deep end as well as hop off the side of the shallow end independently. With the help of some swimming lessons, she's learning just 'how' to swim and with the extra practice at home, she's able to perform! We were so proud to see her face as she squealed "look mom, I can swim!".

I think we need another family day, really soon!

These two little cuties are growing up way too fast!
