Hot Air Balloon Ride

My Mom and I, finally, got to take the hot air balloon ride. It was a very cold, early morning (6:30AM) ride.

We got to see how the basket and balloon got set up, and I got to help!

We then piled into the basket and off we went

Since it was an early ride we were able to see the sunrise

Very tight space in the basket

Great experience, would recommend it to anyone (if you're not afraid of heights) to go on one!

VEGAS!!!

My cousin got married in Las Vegas which means....vacation! Myself, husband, brother-in-law, and their cousin took a wonderful 6 day vacation. We stayed at Monte Carlo Hotel, this is our room.

The 4 of us went to the Grand Canyon ....amazing, breath-taking, and any other word that goes along...

This is "eagle rock"

 The second stop on our tour gave 360 degree views

We toured hotels and had fun at the wedding. The Mirage had an animal habitat with dolphins and big cats.

These are two White Tigers that got in a curious mood and played with the drain cover. The trainers had to then go in and fix it....

 As always....it is nice to be home

Stuffed Peppers and Pups

 The other morning we woke up to this laying near our bed...Sammy and Bella being friends....had to take a quick picture.

Stuffed Peppers for dinner (my dinner anyway). Recipe from Debbie A.

More from the garden

More peppers from the garden. Thought they were very cool looking, so I just had to post them.

Our veggies....more like my husband's. My husband and his father have been working on their garden. This is just some of the veggies from it. I love it! Saves so much money and they taste yummy  :0)
