Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving in Las Vegas is always a specal time. I love to spend time with my brother and sisters, my children and grandchildren, and lots of great nieces and nephews! It again was a wonderful holiday, visiting, playing games, playing ping pong and volleyball, and eating wonderful food!! Thank you again, Susan and Jim, for your warm and loving hospitality.

I missed David not being there for many reasons...one of which was that I had to be the photographer! He is so good at getting the whole event covered. He also knows how to use the new camera way better than me. Many of these pictures aren't very good quality, but that's what I have, so they are going in.

Thursday morning we headed over to the church for some volleyball. Some played, some watched, and some took care of kids. It was all good.

A little relaxing, gearing up for the big meal to start!

I'm very full and contented.

What are they communicating here?

Here's a little Mike and Seth in battle.

Last Day at Magic Kingdom

On the last day, we decided to take the boat trip to Magic Kingdom instead of the monorail. It was a beautiful hot day. We were on one like this empty one passing us, only it was very full.

Cute Amy and Molly

Scott and Amy acting out their tantrum days of years gone by.

Not enough pictures of little Matthew. He was often in the stroller. What a darling.

The River Boat

Tom Sawyer's Island

One last look at a magical place!

Epcot Center--the Countries

We started the countries tour with Canada! The family needed to be reminded of their heritage.

Morocco was a fun country to visit....loved the fun architecture.

Molly was really moving to the Moroccan music. She was darling!

The great Wall of China!

Here are some cool shots of the architecture of Italy.

Epcot Center- day 5

Epcot Center was a favorite of mine. There was so much to see, and we only got to a part of it, but we had a great time. These are some shots of the first part of the day.

Disney Hollywood Studios--day 4

Day 3 was our day off from the parks, so I really took a day off, and stayed in bed almost the whole day...yeah, I was sick. The rest of the family swam, shopped, ate and played games. So on to day 4--Disney Hollywood Studios! Me, in front of the movie set of old New York.

The kids loved this parade where Woody and Jessie stopped and danced right in front of us. Fos loved it too.

The loud, speeding cars demonstration somehow put the kids to sleep!

And the parents, too, evidently.

We are on the tram of the Backlot Hollywood Tour.

Chris and Megan getting off the Toy Story ride where you wear 3-D glasses and shoot targets all the way through it. Lots of fun. I'm sure I could get a higher score if I could just try it again!
