Cody and Jessica are "patiently" waiting to open the presents Santa left, but they arrived first and I was still cooking. They didn't hold still enough for good pictures all night, but they got lotsa good stuff...

Ken's Niece Karen sent this new photo of her three munchkins, Dominique, Griffin, and Evan. She's expecting a new baby too! I'm sure she'll email some baby photos soon. She's on-line a bunch and sends us gobs of email jokes. We hear she is an EBAY regular and has made some cash!

Susan arrived after the best snow. She hadn't seen any for several years since moving to Florida.
|
|
Early the next morning they limo'd off to Ohare and checked into Mandalay Bay that afternoon. They took lots of photos for me to see all the changes since I was there several years ago.

The biggest surprise to me was all this water! Belagio built a LAKE - right there in the desert. Amazing!
|
|
The strip keeps getting longer and more commercial. This reminds me of the Champs Elysees in Paris.
|
|
I'm glad Ken took photos of the Eiffel Tower in Las Vegas. It's the new Paris motel, of course, back near or on the old Circus-Circus site. Belagio also has the new circus show now called Cirque de Solee'.
|
|
The neon Eiffel Tower just isn't the same tho. It should be in the middle of a beautiful grassy park - and about 50 times taller.

|
Excaliber is still there on the corner by MGM Grand so there's still a lot for kids to do.
|
|
But now New York, New York is on the old sand lot across the street. It's got rollercoaster rides too. And it's all one building!
|
|
Belagio Lake has water fountain shows.
|
|
and Pirate Ships and Fireworks!
|
|
Finally Ken got out skiing across the street.
|
|
And I had the camera ready when he fell down!
