Fourth of July Fun!

We had a good 4th of July this weekend. Spending time with family, hanging out in the pool, and shooting off fireworks in front of the house. All the while playing with my new camera! I have not edited any of this pictures yet, they are straight out of the camera.

 

(I know it is blurry, I was playing with the settings... but Alana and Marin's expressions are priceless!)

 

July 3, 2009 - Cookies!

A couple of weeks ago I bought 4th of July sprinkles and cookie cutters. I finally broke them out today and the girls and I made star cookies for tomorrow.

 

 

 

 

Oceans of Fun

Sunday we took the girls to Oceans of Fun. Eric and I had never been to Oceans of Fun before, so it was the first time for all of us! It was actually Billy and Amanda's idea, and I will admit that I was not originally thrilled about going.  It was going to be expensive and I was worried about the girls getting lost etc. I am so glad that we went though! The girls had a blast! Mom, Billy and Amanda had fun, and they watched the girls for us so that Eric and I could go on a couple of the adult slides. I had more fun watching the kids though than going on the slides myself.
We will probably go again this summer, hopefully I will have the new waterproof camera by then so I can post pictures. We are even talking about getting Season Passes for next year!
Thanks Billy and Amanda!

Legends

Saturday evening we took the girls to Legends for dinner at Stix and a Movie (UP). After dinner while Eric brought our leftovers to the car I let the girls play in the fountain. I actually had the camera with me this time!

 

 

Las Vegas

Last week I traveled to Las Vegas for a Workforce Leadership Council (WLC) off-site. WLC is a volunteer program Booz Allen Hamilton offers that allows junior personnel the opportunity to lead. I am the co-lead for our office Chapter, and so I got to go to Vegas for the off-site (along with my co-lead Katie)! I had never been to Vegas before, so I was definitly excited. Too bad Eric was already scheduled for training last week, and a trip with his Dad this week, or he would have gone with me!
The off-site was held at Planet Hollywood!

The first night we had a welcome reception for the WLC off-site participants. Somewhere there is a picture of me with a showgirl. Unfortunately my camera batteries were dead so I have to wait until everyone shares their pictures to post it.

Thursday is when the off-site started. It was a LONG day! We started at 8am and ended at 9:30 pm. In the evening we had a Scavenger Hunt/ team building event and then an awards ceremony. Our chapter won for best communications!

After the awards ceremony/ reception ended some of us took a walk to the Bellagio.

Where we stopped in at a lounge for a drink...
Then we were off to Caesars

And then headed back to Planet Hollywood to go dancing at Prive.

Friday the off-site ended at 5ish, but Katie and I did not fly back to Kansas until Saturday morning. So, we went to a show!

My first Vegas style Burl's show.. and it was really cool! Ok.. enough bragging about Vegas.
