The Birthday Dinner, Gifts and Cake

After we finished our tour at The Lost Sea, we met the extended family (mamaw, papaw, Gigi, Bubba, Kim, Byrd & Ginger) for dinner.  Reagan chose Red Robin because "they have a large variety on their menu".

Red Robin brought Reagan a huge sundae

 home and time for gifts!  Money for her first gift - she looks a little excited, doesn't she?
