Reagan Fuller

Oahu - Day 1

Spring Break is here! This year we decided to do a return trip to Hawaii. Reagan hasn’t ever been to Hawaii but her older sister has. Of course, Sydney doesn’t remember an ounce of it but that doesn’t stop her from telling Reagan about how Hawaii is magical. Whenever we joked that we couldn’t go on vacation for some reason, Reagan would start to cry “…but I have never been to Hawaii!” On this trip, we decided to come to Oahu. We knew it would have many kid-friendly destinations which is key when trying to entertain a whole family for a week. It is a long plane flight half-way across the Pacific but nothing a Nintendo DS and a few games couldn’t help. Let the party begin!

Reagan’s routine is basically to run down into the ocean as the waves go out and then run back up the beach screaming as they come in. I don’t think she is actually terrified — she just enjoys the chase. Finally, when that gets old, she plays in the sand and follows Sydney’s every move.

Reagan is always our timid one but it looks like she is having a great time so far. Now, if I could only get her to swim!

The beach seems to be the big attraction with the girls so far. We have spent zero time at the new multi-million dollars kid’s pool at our hotel. They are enjoying the sand, sun and surf too much. Have a look!

Many more days ahead!

Nap Time

We had to run to Target to stock up on swim diapers and sunscreen for the upcoming spring break in Hawaii. Reagan was being an unusually stubborn and whiney pain in the you know know what. When I suddenly noticed how peaceful things had gotten. What happened to Reagan? She had curled up under the shopping cart and fell asleep. We got many, “Oh my, look at that little girl. Is she actually sleeping under there?” Not the most comfortable or spacious spot but she made it work.

Lunchables

One of Reagan’s favorite meals is “Cheese and Crackers”. Its actually one of those Lunchable things but that’s what she calls it. Her lazy parents just let her tear them open from time to time because we want her to eat something, anything. Still skinny!

Anyway, years ago, she just would eat the bologna out of them and throw the rest away. Later, she started taking bites out of the cheese block that comes with it. From time to time, she polishes off the cookie. Never cared for the crackers until recently.

So then I started giving her a hard time because this isn’t a 4 course meal. You are supposed to make a sandwich with the meat, cheese and cracker. Kids aren’t keen to that idea. Well, suddenly today, she said she wanted to show me how she now eats this meal. So I give you — the full 5 course in one stack!

Bike Rider

I came home from my run and Reagan was out on her bike riding with the big girls. How cool is that! Last year, she wanted nothing to do with this bike while watching Sydney learn how to ride on 2 wheels. Now, she loves flying down the street.

Next, I will have to talk her into giving up the training wheels. But I might wait until the end of summer.
