Congratulations Ethan!
Ethan is officially a Boy Scout! Last night he crossed over from Cub Scouts to Boy Scouts. He is going to Kyle's troop and they were there last night to receive him into the new troop. He was anxious about the actual ceremony. He was worried about what to do when they called his name and of course they called his first. He did great and I think he even had a little bit of fun!
Great job on your Cub Scout career, Ethan. You worked hard and accomplished so much. Be proud of yourself, Daddy and I are very proud of you.
The boys names are burned onto the bridge for the crossover. We found Kyle's from two year ago and now Ethan is added.

Helping Haiti
These girls are awesome! Last week at our Brownie meeting I suggested a bake sale to benefit a charity to help work on our Penny Power Try it. We talked about a couple of organizations that could use money and decided on Haiti. Then the girls got baking!
WOW! They had a packed table with every kind of treat imaginable. Our grand total at the end of the day was $93.41!
Great job girls you did a fabulous job!
Molly is looking forward to being a Daisy next year, she has watched her big sis AnnMarie be in Girl Scouts for the last 4 years.

To Ethan
Hi Ethan - Here are the pictures of the fountains we were telling you about. This would be a perfect job for you someday. The fountains are synchronized to music and they are lit up at night and beautiful to watch. You could combine your music knowledge and engineering and have quite a fun career! They are right in front of our hotel and we had dinner in a restaurant that overlooks the water and were able to watch them while we ate. It was a really fun night!
Perfect Day
There are hundreds of shops in Vegas and nothing that I want to buy! Just not really my type of stuff. It's fun to look at some of them but I am not really into the status type stuff and big name label stuff and that's what it is. Neither Bill or I like gambling. So that leaves eating and shows both of which we do like. No, this was or would not be a place I would go if I was to choose a weekend away with my husband. We prefer the historical, quaint, less touristy, less flashy places.
Bill has been to Vegas a couple of times for work. Each time he has said I need to go the next time. No matter where we go we always have a great time! He knew we would find things to do that fit our style and have some time away together. Honestly I don't care where we go, I treasure every minute we have together like this.
Today we wandered around the Venetian shops, had lunch and went on the Gondola ride. Perfect!

Vegas At Night
Rest and Relaxation
Here are some pictures of our hotel, The Bellagio. The lobby has Chihuly Persians hanging at the entrance. This horse is right under the Chihuly sparkly!
There are many statues and painted ceilings throughout the hotel.
These are my favorites.
The conservatory is beautiful and filled with Asian gazebos, bridges, plants, and bamboo.
Lunch
This is Jean-Philippe Patisserie in the Bellagio. We pass this multiple times to our room and they have amazing pastries, cakes, and crepes. Not to mention the world's largest chocolate fountain. Ethan - I took a picture below of all the information from Guinness World Records for you to look at. It is amazing!
