Pumpkins, and candy, and Mickey, oh my! (TR complete!)

[grizbuzz]

I'm lovin' the report!

Thanks for all the pics. Those pumpkin carvings at DL are so incredible. Really awesome artwork. How do they do that?

Reuben DOES exist! And he's so handsome! What a beautiful couple!

Beth- it's me,,,,,,,the Bellagio lover. Those pics are great!! I wish we would have walked through the Bellagio to see the conservatory. We did stop to watch the fountains, but we were so tired we finally walked back to the Venetian. Now I'm mad that we didn't go inside.

I'm with you.........that tree or whatever it is, is CREEPY. The eyes are scary looking!!

When I was about 7. I grew up in SoCal and we'd go every year at least once. Then after Ruben and I got married we'd go more often until we finally bought passes. I have no clue how many times I've been.

That's so much like me. Just look at my siggie. I started in utero though. DH says the fact that my mom rode the Matterhorn when she was pregnant w/me explains a lot.

How weird about all the people falling on

Maybe Dumbo had a little "slippery accident". I've seen that happen with elephants before.

Love the Bellagio pictures. DH's BIL and I had an argument about the water arches. I remember because I was wrong, and that is so rare!

Ruben was off today so we decided to head down to the Strip and see how they decorated the Bellagio conservatory for Fall. It's so pretty! I took some pics that I will share here a bit later.

I told Ruben that living here surrounded by temps in the upper 80's and a bunch of cactus, going to the Bellagio was the only way we were going to see any Fall color. LOL

Beth,
You would love it here in Oregon! The colors are bursting out in reds, oranges, and yellows. I'm native Californian and lived in Vegas as well. The only sign of fall we had was the back to school cafeteria menu graphics!


This set is a street away from my house..we pass them everday.
reds

oranges

on a bike ride
yellows

The pics from the Bellagio are fun.. I love the creepy tree critters.

Hi - Those pictures made me so homesick for the east coast; I just moved to San Diego last year. I miss the fall trees! I'm not saying San Diego isn't lovely - but I loved fall, especially when the trees change colors. Looking at your pictures gave me a little "fix"! Thanks...

 

[JaneJetson]

Most of the trees were pretty reds and yellows here....until we had 30+ mph winds the other day. Now it's starting to look like winter.

Great update, Beth! I can't believe how different your girls look since June! They are so adorable.

I am looking forward to more!

Wow travelmel, your neighborhood is GORGEOUS! I was thinking of sending my folks for a weekend fall leaf peeping trip next year. Oregon looks like the place to be.

lovin' the tr so far, momma4u. you seemed to get a lot done when the parks closed at 8.

That is odd. We were in there one time and someone had fallen over by the Matterhorn on the walkway between Fantasyland and Tomorrowland and boy they blocked it of and wouldn't let anyone go through there. I can understand it in this time of lawsuits.

Yeah, they really made a fuss over her. And then they had a row of CMs with their back to her form a semi-circle around her to keep people from looking at what was going on. It was like a row of secret service. So funny. Nothing to see here, keep moving.

Thanks for sharing those photos! I love fall decorations!

Me too!!

There is an old mill in Napa county that is just so cool. Next time we go I will take pictures and post them.

Oh please do! I'd love to see them.

they are in the Fantasia Gardens area by the Matterhorn!!! that's the only place I have gotten them!

edited to add: because some EVIL person told me about them and although I didn't like it the first time I tried it now I'm addicted to them!

Now who would do that??? Evil, evil person.
Good to know where you can find them in DL. Thanks!!

HE quickly turned away. Smooth Wendy, really smooth.

Reuben DOES exist! And he's so handsome! What a beautiful couple!

Yep, he does! And you are too sweet. Thanks.

I'm so sorry you missed it. All the more reason for you to join the ladies meet in June!

The water arches are really cool. My favorite was the tree fountains. I'd love to have those in my yard.

LOL on the menu!!!
I LOVE those pics!!!!! Thank you for posting them. So pretty. I'd love to live in OR or WA but alas I cannot afford it. Maybe one day.....

Hi there! I know what you mean about missing the Fall trees. There's just something about Fall.

Most of the trees were pretty reds and yellows here....until we had 30+ mph winds the other day. Now it's starting to look like winter.

Nooooo, not winter. As much as I loved Fall living in MI, I dreaded what would be next. Snow, snow, and more snow. LOL

Great update, Beth! I can't believe how different your girls look since June! They are so adorable.

I am looking forward to more!

Thanks! They are growing up so fast.

Thanks! I was very pleased with how much we accomplished that first day. Good thing too since the crowds by the end of the week were a MESS!



I'm going to try to update again today. Thanks again for reading along everyone!

I know! But June is just when it worked out. I don't like the heat either, but that's what A/C is for!

I'm sorry you are in such a funk. I was too when I first got back. Just felt so blah. And tired! I was going to sleep so early for me. Maybe you are getting sick. Try taking some Airborne. The extra vitamins might help. And force yourself to get out and back into a routine.

Anyway, I hope things get better soon. And I'm definitely interested in reading about the tour! Thanks for the link.

Beth,
Oregon is really pretty affordable.. or else I'd move back to California! lol

Everybody who commented on the tree pics,,
Thanks for the compliments on my pics! Being a native Californian I so appreciate the beautiful colors. And thankfully, no wind yet! But it's supposed to rain for Halloween

I'm glad I could help you with your fix

Those Bellagio pictures were beautiful. I am not a gambler but I have to go to Vegas some time just to see the magnificent hotels.

I carved pumpkins today. It was fun. We will be out on Halloween night to dinner for my bday so I had to carve them today so I could light them up tonight & tomorrow night & enjoy them. I love Halloween too!!!!
