Reagan Fuller

On Notice

Kim is putting Reagan on notice — if she doesn’t start smiling, there will be no more pictures! This kid gets pissed whenever we tell her to smile. Its the perfect anti-behavior. We have tried everything. I am literally saying every silly (and somewhat dirty) combination of words to get her attention for a second!

To end the trip, Reagan had a great time getting down and dirty at the beach just before sunset in Big Sur! Heading home tomorrow.

Sea Side

We spent some time with the sea lions after breakfast. They were right in our faces! Reagan enjoyed being so close to these wild guys.

Then we headed down to Pacific Grove for some beach/rock exploring. Reagan was into it then not into it. After we got back to the car, she proclaimed “We made it!”.

A Day In Monterey

Reagan wanted to go and see the animals. Animals are all that this kid talks about. So we ate lunch on the waterfront. We got a front row table of the ocean and watched otters play in the bay while we ate. Next, we decided to cover more ground by renting a bike for the family. Weee! Dad was sweating his but off. This bike was direct drive and my pedal partner’s knee isn’t so good. But we made it from end to end!

Hey, Reagan, wanna go to a real “Rock Playground”? (Rock Playground being the code name of a playground back home that has small rocks to climb on.) So we spent an hour at Pacific Grove’s Lover’s Point climbing around. These rocks are really grippy so they are great for climbing.

Getting tired yet?

The girls played on the beach by the water while we relaxed for a minute on the beach. Guess who is all wet now? So after a change of clothes, we spent the rest of the day at the aquarium. Anyone having fun yet?

Reagan passed out in her stroller near the end of the aquarium visit. She slept all through a long dinner. Then she popped up right as we were near the hotel and wanted to eat. We took her into the drug store and found the food. Kim pointed to a Lunchables (one of Reagan’s favorites) and said You want this? With the saddest sound and face, Reagan mumbled yes in some sort of tired happiness. Great end to a great day in her eyes.

Do Not Try This At Home

The girls spent the day at the San Jose Children’s Museum while I was at work. This seems to be their favorite museum because there is so much hands on stuff to do!

Coit Tower

We headed up Coit Tower for a final overlook of the city before heading out. This wasn’t nearly as painful as it looks.

Reagan had the most fun running around the walkway at the bottom. Many priceless pictures of her with a big smile that we don’t normally get on film.

Hey, Reagan…having fun on vacation?

Party Girl

The first morning in San Francisco didn’t start out so well. But then again, Reagan will never smile for a picture anymore on command.

After a cable car ride that Reagan partially slept through, we took a walk along the water and stopped in front of one of our favorite destinations.

We hit a store near Chinatown and picked up some “Mulan” dresses. How beautiful! The girls were found strutting around the Sir Francis Drake hotel into the wee hours of the night.

Crusin’ California

We are in California this week for Thanksgiving. Is it legal to drive here with 2 fingers in your mouth?
