Delayed Disney

I had a conversation the other day with my niece about some pictures I had taken that she wanted copies of. She has had a "FAMILY" frame for a long time that she finally mounted on the wall some months back. Her in-laws are coming and she promised herself that when they arrived, it would be displaying actual family members instead of the fake ones that come from the store.

We talked about several different occasions that we had gotten together that might have produced some good printable pictures. I remembered that last December, my son was in town from Portland, and we all went to Disneyland and I thought that I had taken a good family picture of their, then, family of four (they are five now).

So, as I am looking through these pictures, I realize that I only went through them once, quickly, oh so long ago. I only shared a couple of pics that I took of the kids. That's it! This was a moment in time that was forgotten amidst a whole bunch of craziness that was going on all at the same time...a family wedding, our Florida vacation, a couple of photo jobs and a week of picture-taking with my kid flitting about so he could cram everything into that one week. Phew!!!!

It's not often we have both our kids together. Our family was almost complete. The only one that was missing was my daughter-in-law, Sarah. Maybe next time.  There just aren't enough walls in my house to contain all my pictures, so I am sharing my family photos here.

As per usual, we take a tram picture to start the day.

Strip Search

This is blog #2 of our Vegas Road Trip. I suppose I could have posted all pics at once, but that would have been BLOG OVERLOAD. If you are a glutton for punishment and want to check out blog #1 that covers the first part of our journey, our groupie stops and food intake, click here: Vegas Baby

To recap, we stayed on The Strip at the Paris and needed to cram all the new things to see along with our old favorites into two days...no easy feat. We walked in every direction, camera in hand, day and night, to experience, document, preserve and share our memories. We came across a lot of fun and beautiful things.

The first night we went out to check out the sights and the lights and, to our surprise, all the lights were off for a once-a-year "Let's save some energy for an hour" deal. REALLY, on a Saturday night??? Couldn't you do it on a Tuesday or something?

Vegas Unplugged
We went over to the Bellagio to see the light show up close and we waited, and waited, and waited....Nada!

Bellagio Black Out
That's More Like It
We checked out the new attraction, The High Roller @ The Linq. A giant Ferris Wheel that holds 40 people per car and goes around super slow (once around takes an hour) so you can have a cool party. Big bucks - No thanks!

The Wheel in the Sky Keeps on Turning
Slow-Moving Party Balls
We ran across a whole cast of characters.

Bert & Ernie

Me & My Minion

Tartan Man
There were also some half-naked people, but this is a G-rated blog.

Hotels were beautiful on the outside.

City Center
And on the inside.

I think most of these fabulous blingy things were at The Cosmopolitan.

The Colors....Beautiful!!!

Some Centerpiece, Huh?

Dandelion Lights
Even McDonald's was blinged out.

We enjoyed the art

Interesting...I Like the Eye Ball Particularly
Mostly we just cruised around and had fun together.

Hey, Honey, Can you turn on the Light?
And spent a little moolah. Well, not here.

Counting His Dough
Then we headed home. And just like our trip, the sky was fabulous. 

Space Ship Clouds
I now see that putting our whole trip into only two blogs was no easy feat either. I had a ton more pictures, but I don't want to bore you. Maybe another time.
