Happy Belated Mother's Day!!

A MOTHER'S DAY AT UNIVERSAL STUDIOS!!

Reagan is the BEST daughter, when it comes to Mother's Day- Last year, I remember her sleeping in until around 10am, and this year she did it AGAIN!  It's as if she knows that I deserve the day off, and a morning to sleep in- even though my maternal clock woke me up at 7am!

Since she slept in until 10 that morning, we decided to skip church, (we had already missed one service, and coming up on missing another service), and pack a sandwich lunch, and go out to Universal Studios for the afternoon- (and by the time we ate breakfast, loaded up all of our "gear" and got to the "park" it was already nearly one!) 

Reagan was an excellent sport that afternoon- it was the hottest day of the year! (Yes, I know, we are soo stupid for wanting to go out on this HOT HOT HOT day, but there wasn't anything I would have wanted more, then my family all together at a theme park on Mother's Day!  The park was soo quiet, and empty- it was wonderful! The lines were very short, and of course right when we got there, I knew we needed to see the Barney Show- 

Adam hasn't ever seen her amazement with this show, but when we got there it had already started- So, these pictures/video of her on the little green slide, is in Barney's "Playground" area- it is indoors, and has lots of things for a mini-person; like Reagan, to play on! RIGHT after the show, Barney comes out to greet all of his buddies, and I made sure we were first in line to meet him! She was really shy at first, but wanted to show him her doll, that just happened to look JUST LIKE HIM!!!  :)

Then we hit the Madagascar "meet and greet" (Let me just say, Reagan's first time to watch anything to do with Madagascar, was this particular morning, so NO other time, had she seen these characters!) When they came out she FREAKED, and I mean FREAKED! Remember the photo of her with the Little Einsteins?  This was like that!  She basically pitched a HUGE fit; kicking and screaming- until we got up to them- And the video below explains how she was once she got to them- And we spent so much time with them, that their "wrangler" (person that keeps the characters safe) had to ask Adam to wrap it up!  :)  Oops!

While we waited for the Barney show to start, we went over to the water/play area, and let her get wet for a little bit to cool off- Adam found some nice ALABAMA folks (and fans) :) to visit with, while we watched Reagan get soaked in the water that comes up out of the ground! I brought an extra outfit just for that reason! :)  She cooled off a bit, and we saw the Barney show- She was rather exhausted by this time, so, her excitement level was on LOW - but she managed to keep her eyes open!  But by the time the show ended, we put her in her stroller, and walked around, she was OUT- 

Overall, it was a wonderful, warm, and eventful Mother's Day!!  

Oh, How I love to be a MOM!!
