A week in Vegas
-
- Diamond, Jamie, Mr. Higbee, Ben
-
- Humpty Dumpty and friends
We loved having our nephew, Ben and his Jamie visit from Iowa this past week in June. As you can see, they were crazy over our little kids and the kids haven’t been the same since they left! Perhaps they never will ~ be the same that is.
We did soooooo much, I’m still recuperating. They were here over my birthday (#40 of course). We ate at the Wynn that evening and went to the Venetian where B. and J. treated us to a wonderful ride on a gondola. The gondolier sang “Happy Birthday” as well as one of my favorite songs in the whole wide world – “Al Di La.” It was a Vegas Strip kind-of birthday with a full moon and a volcano erupting across the street at The Mirage.
What we did when they were here, however, is nothing compared to what they’re thinking about ~ and that’s the first step of acomplishing anything. They are both considering going back to college to pursue their passions. Both Jamie and Ben love serving and helping people. What could be a grander endeavour than that!
Here’s another picture of Ben, Jamie, and Doug. I have a BIG Humpty Dumpty collection and I would love to have this bronze HD ~ dream on. Yes, Humpty may have fallen off the wall (or been pushed) but Ben, Jamie and Doug are there to stay.
