Pictures of Fun with Parents

You already know all about our adventures on Friday (we did eat lunch with Melissa like I do every Friday) and buying cars. We ate at a stake house and went home to bed. It is TIRING looking at car all day. OK.. so we watched the last 2 episodes of the new Sense and Sensibility from Masterpiece theater. It was relaxing. I really like that version which is why I shared it with the parents.. thanks Birgit for sharing it with me!

It took us a little to get going on

Saturday morning cuz I went for a bike ride. I wouldn't normally have worried about it, but Kokapelli is in a week!! Anyway, we went to the Venetian to ride in the gondola. It's kinda silly cuz u pay alot for a 15 minute ride, but Mom and I enjoyed. Dad just kept all his joy inside. Funny thing, the guy always put on his special happy camera face whenever we took a picture. All the guides did it. He did sing an Italian song for us too.

Dad spent alot of time seeing how it was run. We of course could see the trolling motor, but took a little time to figure out how the guide was controlling it. Ended up they had two buttons they controlled with their heels. Now all u engineers know. Phew! (Dad made me point)

These are some pictures of the fun things we saw at the Venetian... The opera singers and then these girls on stilts with long poles on their hands and wrapped in vines. I think they were supposed to be a "living garden". Mom thought they were pretty cool. They had pretty faces in green and lined in gold.

(If u blow up the picture.. u can see the face of the lady in the back. The girl in front is kicking her leg up. In the second picture the girl has her leg raised behind and over her head. Notice the security guards following to make sure nothing happens to them)

Then we ate at the cafe there. Dad wanted to go see the new bridge over the dam so we headed that direction... stay tuned!
