10 days filled with Las Vegas, Gallagher Games and Avalon






Flew out to VEGAS for work and Jake decided he would go with me. I can't wait to scrap these pictures. The past two weeks have been a whirlwind starting with the vegas trip. Weather completely delayed our flight but we got in just in time to see LOVE the beatles show at the Mirage.......came home to attend the Gallagher Games......

Here are the teams - that's us the BLUE team. We LOST. But it was a lot of fun. From the opening ceremonies to the grueling competitions! Have you done a hippity hop lately? Or how about a sack race! I realized how out of shape I am in. Trying to figure out a way to do the elliptical machine while I scrapbook....hmmmm maybe I am on to something.......




Finally it was time to pack and head down to AVALON for our beach vacation. All the cousins, aunts uncles and even boyfriends and girlfriends came down for relaxing family time. We used Rob's beach "log cabin". A quirky little house with lots of charm - mostly that it was only a block to the beach! We had a blast searching for seashells, going to the zoo, hitting the boardwalk and of course spending time on the beach! Uncle Josh and Daddy are not fond of the sand but the rest of us spent hours digging holes, building castles and catching up on our beach reading. I can't visit avalon without remembering all the years spent there as a kid.....crabbing, riding my bike, playing skeeball, making seashell necklaces.........ahhh the memories. Vacation was too short but I am home now and hoping to get some scrapbooking done........stay tuned!
