Sleeping with the Sharks

Reagan's Girl Scout Troop had an overnight activity at Ripley's Aquarium.  They got to sleep with the sharks.  It was a great program full of art, learning, eating and a little sleeping!
Ready to go!
 The scouts brave enough to sleep with the sharks!
 learning about Sting Rays and Sharks
 the sting rays were huge!

 The craft was an ancient art form called fish printing

 After sleeping in the tunnel with the sharks, we awoke the next morning to learn about penguins.  Reagan's favorite penguin was named Maggie
 Learning about white spotted bamboo sharks.  Reagan (correctly) answered almost every question the educator asked.  She says she wants to be a marine biologist when she grows up!

Kids at Play

Reagan and Cooper have enjoyed having their own playset in the backyard.  As soon as we get home from school, they run to the backyard to play!

A Friend's Birthday

Reagan attended a friend's birthday party this afternoon ~ it was a Scooby Doo Mystery Party.  I am so proud of her for making so many friends at school.

Veteran's Day Celebration

Reagan's school celebrated Veteran's Day today.  All kids were asked to wear red, white & blue and those who were in scouts could wear their uniforms.  
Reagan proudly wore her Brownie vest
 she couldn't wait to show off her patches from the fun activities we've done

Letter to God

Reagan woke up in the best mood this morning.  While I was cooking breakfast, she asked for a piece of paper and began writing.  She showed me her letter before she left for school ~ and I'll admit, I got a little teary eyed.
 
Dear God, I know some was (ways) that we can praise you.  We can sing to you. We can dance for you.  We can pary (pray) to you.  I will let you into my heart and I will Jesus in my heart as well.
 
Is that not the sweetest thing you have ever read?
