Pictures from Donna

We're HERE!!!
We all made it to Vegas and are ready to PLAY!

OK, more like gossip, eat and visit, but we're here!







The one downer of the day was that Janey wasn't able to be with us this year. She was sick the morning of departure and wasn't
able to come :o( I even brought the dobbers from prior years
Bingo events - I wanted to go play BINGO!!!
You were missed Janey!!


EEEK - there was a MAN in the mix... OK, so not quite a man, but Hayden came to join us for the weekend. Katie was flying out to Kansas City with her mother in law and Linda and Gail were taking Hayden back to Cedar with them, so it was the perfect opportunity for us (mom and I) to see and play with the latest member of our family!






Dinner this year was at Don Miguel's in the Orleans Casino. They had good food and even better company!

















Horrible self portraits - however, this is the beginning of Blue Man Group - they handed out tissue paper for us to "decorate" ourselves for the show :o)

Janet - we took your picture on your camera - you'll have to share with us on the blog!
We had a good time, although it wasn't what I expected of the show. VERY loud, very rock and roll - guess I should have figured that out as it was percussion stuff, eh? Oh, well, it was an experience!











The band members... they glowed in the dark in this paint those outfits. Fun to watch

Mom and I on our way to the Ethel M's Chocolate!!

We even enjoyed the hot tub for a bit on Sunday evening!

Monday morning dawned for the Chocolate walk - we started at the Fashion Place Mall - for what else, Chocolate!

Things got out of hand after our wonderful BREAKFAST of Chocolate Fondue!

Chihuli Glass ceiling- love this artist!

We walked to the Bellagio where we saw all of the wonderful fall decorations in place for Thanksgiving. I'm just glad they didn't do what all the malls and shopping places are - putting Christmas out before Thanksgiving. It was nice to see the wonderful fall colors and decorations.

Around the corner is another chocolate heaven - the chocolate fountain is HUGE there, but unreachable. Others will have to post the pictures we're we were attempting to "eat" it... and no, I wasn't licking the glass... wouldn't have done any good :o( hee hee hee!

Hayden even had his first ever cab ride. I'm sure that cab driver was ready to chuck me out, I had LOTS of questions!! He had little or no answers, but he did confirm that the Aladdin is now the Planet Hollywood Casino. There is a new HUGE hotel/casino being built along the strip and as near as I can tell it used to be the old Boardwalk. The Frontier is now gone, gone, gone... so there are a lot of changes going on out there....

I've tried to get this to line up for HOURs now... I'm done! If you want full size photo's let me know!
