Fun in the Sun

We just got back from our first big family vacation to Fort Walton Beach, FL. The weather was great and we really had a good time. We stayed at the Ramada Plaza that was right on the beach and had a great room overlooking the courtyard gardens and pools. Reagan loved the ocean but would have been equally content with spending all of her time in the baby pool! She did like the ocean too, mainly playing in the sand. She liked to stand down by the water and jump up in the air when one of the waves came in so it wouldn't get her. We spent 3 1/2 days there just relaxing and enjoying time in the sun. There was one big pool with a waterfall and a swim up bar underneath and another heated pool area where Reagan liked to swim with the other kids. There was also a beach bar with live entertainment over the weekend. It rained one day so we went shopping. When I was checking out at Old Navy, Kevin poked at me to look at Reagan. There was a bunch of fake model people with clothing on and one was a little girl Reagan's height and wearing a similar shirt. Reagan was standing there talking to her and touching her pigtails. We got Reagan to pose next to her new friend for a picture! After a lot of contemplation, we did decide to return to our home in Illinois and back to reality!!
