Leo's Place

It was a good day to be at Leo's Place. We woke up to the worst blizzard of the winter (on April 3rd). The Easter Egg Hunt at Menan was cancelled for the first time that I can remember.

Las Vegas

Taken in front of Jimmy Buffet Margueritaville (pretty sure I spelled that wrong)

We went to the top of the Eiffel Tower at the Paris.
Supposed to be 1/2 size of the real Eiffel Tower




Taken in front of the boat we cruised Lake Mead on

Hoover Dam

The gardens at the Flamingo Hotel

We had a lot of fun at Vegas. Went on a night light tour. Saw the fountains at the Bellagio, the volcano at I think it was the Mirage, and a fabulous light show on Fremont street. We also went out to the original Las Vegas sign. The next day we went on a tour of Lake Mead and Hoover Dam. The new road they are building at Hoover Dam is really something, and so is the dam itself. The next night we had tickets for Donny and Marie, but they cancelled their shows for another week. I was totally devastated. We didn't even know they had cancelled until we went down for the show. Didn't even have time to try to make another show somewhere else. I think it would have been a great show, but that's the way it goes I guess. We heard she decided she needed to spend more time with her family and she just wasn't ready to go back to performing after her son's death (even though they did their show the week before we were there). We also met my brother Wayne one afternoon and had lunch and
just visited and did some walking around and a little gambling. Other than that we just walked up and down the strip and saw the sights and took in some free shows here and there. The temperture was 80 degrees every day we were there. Kind of hard to come home to 30. All in all it was a fun vacation and a nice break

Museum of Idaho

I had never been to the Museum of Idaho and thought that their "Wolf to Woof" display might be fun for Dalton and Ally. We all enjoyed the museum but I think they might have liked more going to McDonald's afterwards.

Bear World

I got an e-mail saying that you could come and see the new bear cubs at Yellowstone Bear World so Dalton, Karly and I went to see them. Dalton wasn't sure he wanted to get too close to them, but they were really cute and Karly had fun holding and petting the cubs.

Some Pictures of Socksie 1994-2010

Socksie 1994-2010

Well, just to let everyone know our cat of 16 years, Socksie, died Monday March 8. Kind of sad, but she had some health problems and it is probably best that she isn't suffering anymore.

Added a few pictures

FYI, I added a few pictures to the house painting post (see below). I got the vinyls with all the kids names and put them in the Game Room. I also already have repainted two walls in the girls room. I liked the pink all right but it just wasn't exactly what I had in mind so I repainted two walls with the more rose colored paint. I also put a few pictures of the stained staircase wall (I love it), and I also put a couple pictures of the dining room and the Burgandy wall in the living room that Karen and I (mostly Karen) did
