Viva Las Vegas!!!!

Bevan and I headed to Las Vegas for his work. I tagged along since after all it is Vegas baby. I called my brother Clark & told him to meet us there which he did. The boy will not turn down a trip to sin city. We had a great time while there & got to see a couple of shows. We were able to see Carrot Tops show which was hilarious. I would've never thought it would be this funny since I've only found him mildly entertaining on tv. Boy was I wrong. We also saw Celine Dion & she was awesome. Her show is visually stunning & I would highly recommend it to any of you before it is over at the end of the year.Here is a view at the Mix lounge on top of the Mandalay Bay. Awesome view of the strip on the outside deck of the bar.
Here's Bevan with his coworkers Pat, Judy & Pam.
Here Bevan, Pam, Judy & I are enjoying a few cocktails at the Mix lounge at Mandalay Bay. We had the best time that night after enjoying a great meal at Aureol in Mandalay Bay.

Family Reunion - Florida

I traveled to Florida to visit my family for a much needed vacation. I had just gotten back off of my bike ride & a little relaxation with my extended family was just what I needed. We ended up having 40 relatives total visit while I was there & a good time was had by all.Here we have Tiffany & Mitchell clowning around on the golf cart. Luckily Nicholas was at the wheel so the compound was temporarily safe.
Here we have my cousin Jeff's wife Bonnie & their son Wesley enjoying a day at the beach.
Here we have the 2 siblings enjoying their time together in Florida. Pictured are my Uncle Harry & Aunt Patsy.
Here's my cousin Dana with her oldest daughter Bailey enjoying the day at the pool.

Here is my brother Clark & his wife Jeanne enjoying the day in Destin at Bud & Alley's bar.One night the cousins all played hookey from the grown ups & headed over to San Destin to enjoy dinner with each other. What is funny is that all of us are in our 30's & 40's now. Funny how the time has passed since we were all little. Pictured from left are Jeanne, Clark, Dana, Jamie, Bonnie, Jeff & myself.
Here's the rest of the gang. From the left, Bonnie, Lesley, Alan, Jeanie & Carla. The meal was awful, but the company was great.
Here we have my little niece Catherine who is now up to 13lbs. She is such a great baby.
This is my niece Jennifer with her little one Savannah.
We took the kids to see the dolphins one day & it was a blast. We were out there a few minute's and here they come. At one time we had about 6 dolphins around the boat.
Here is my cousin Jeanie with her youngest Elizabeth.
Here is Dana & Brooke feeding one of the dolphins.
Mitchell, Tiffany & Bailey were keeping an eye out for the dolphins on the tower of the boat. We had great luck with seeing quite a few this day.

Lesley swimming with the dolphin

So we are all hanging out on the boat watching the dolphins come and go and the next thing I know there goes Lesley. She jumped in the water and had the time of her life swimming with them.
