Day 4: Ronald Reagan Museum & Cook Out

Day 4- We went to the Ronald Reagan museum and took a private tour for free (my cousin's grandma on her dad's side of the family is a tour guide there a few times a week)! It was so neat! I wish we would of had more time there- but a museum isn't the most 16 month old friendly place :) We were there on the 7th anniversary of his death and Nancy Reagan was there that morning putting flowers on his grave. There was a lot of extra agents there that day and security was high.








What they wore for the inauguration.



Model of how the oval office looked when President Reagan was in office.


B was in Heaven :) Police car and Police motorcycle :)



The AirForce 1 that President Reagan used is at this museum.

We were able to tour the inside (super cool), but not take any pictures in it.


Chopper :)



Family!

The view is gorgeous (even though this day was overcast).


Someone donated 17 acres for this museum to sit on- there was problem though b/c none of it was flat.

They had to blow up some moutains (not even joking!) to get the ground flat enough for the place to sit!


The boys playing outside on the patio area.



President Reagan is buried here.

Those are the flowers Mrs. Reagan put on that morning.

He died of Alzheimers.

After we left there we went to my dad's cousin's house- Kathy and her husband Jeff's for a cookout.

Brycen enjoyed sliding down the wooden steps.

Unfortunately Corbin loved the steps too! What a mess!



My cousin Sara and I- she's just a year younger than me.


Me and almost all my CA cousins... Greg is missing.

Kristen, me, Ryan, Sarah, Bridgette, Max, Robbie, and Kenny.



We had such a good time catching up with everyone! I hadn't seen some of these cousins' since I was in 6th grade!
