Las Vegas


Unfortunately, Diane's ankle continued to get worse the day of the race.  By the next morning, she knew she shouldn't even walk on it.  Luckily the hotel had a wheelchair for rent, so Diane spent the next couple of days getting around with a little help from her friends.


During those days we walked ALOT. This is a display garden at the Bellagio Hotel. It's all spruced up for Autumn.


This giant cornucopia was pretty cool.



Along with the giant scarecrow and huge apple made of red roses.


Diane was a very good sport about being pushed around all day, especially when Keith made her ride up the escalators in the wheelchair.  And Dennis was an even better sport.  He was still feeling sore from the run and ended up walking for two!




Aha, the tables are turned.  Time for Dennis to rest his weary legs for a bit. 


This friendly tree actually talked every now and then, welcoming visitors to the garden area.


Kind of reminds me of Treebeard.


There were even horses in this garden.  Up to some sort of trouble, I'm guessing...


This interesting chandelier above me actually has a name. It is a chandelier called Fiori di Como by glass sculptor Dale Chihuly, whose work has been exhibited in every major museum in the world. This beautiful piece is comprised of 2,000 hand-blown glass blossoms.


Gorgeous floral arrangements adorned the Lobby of the Bellagio.  This one's for you, Mom.


Finally, we get to see the Bellagio fountain.  Always a good show.


And what will the music for the fountain show be this time?


Singin' in the Rain!  Perfect on a nice warm day!

Oh my gosh that is kind of hilarious seeing Diane in that wheelchair, I bet she didn't love that! I hope her ankle gets better soon! How sweet of Dennis to push her around:)

For sure Stacey! We knew it was bad if she requested a wheelchair!
She's going to PT so it's getting better.
