Vegas, Baby!




I just got back from Vegas about a week ago. We went there for International Competition for our Sweet Adeline Chorus. I had a really good time. We came in 16th overall and won the Harmony Acheivement Award which is first place for choruses with less than 75 people on the risers (we had 73). The only thing I didn't like was the drinking, smoking and handing me pornography on the street. I must say they can do these 3 things anywhere! I did enjoy watching the light and water show at night at the Bellagio, and all of the shopping. I got Jillian a puppet from FAO Schwartz and I got Abby a snowglobe from the M&M world that is there. (The other types of snowglobes that I found would not have been appropriate for a 5 year old). In case you didn't know, Abby has started collecting snowglobes, so if you go somewhere and want to get her something, she would love to have it. Jillian really doesn't collect anything yet, but she really likes puppets and monkeys. I got Steve some cards that had been used at the casinos and I bought Leann some M&M's from the M&M world for taking care of the girls during the day while I was gone. All in all, our chorus did AWESOME and I got to have some fun times with kids my own age! :)

BTW... I saw your picture in the Edmond Sun performing with your group. I don't remember if it was rehearsal or if it was for a contest/concert. But I saw the picture, laugh pretty loud (loud enough for my students to ask, "WHAT?") and told them the my cousin's picture was in the paper.

I was a proud cousin...
