When you dream, dream BIG!!!

Girls just want to have fun and that's just what we did! They say "What happens here, stays here" but I wish Ella could. However, she heads towards Wisconson early in the morning. I'm sure she will sleep all the way there!
I never thought there could be another elephant out there that was nearly as sweet as Gildah, but then I met Ella! I will really miss my new best friend!

Oh what a night!

Ella and I wanted to hit the town one more time before her next long journey! We went downtown this time to the Freemont Street Experience! While here with us she has gotten hooked on the TV show, Dancing With The Stars, and her favorite professional dancer is Julianne Hough. Julianne's second career is country singing. She was one of the performers at an outdoor concert held prior to the Academy of Country Music Awards Show and we were excited to be able to catch a glimps of her on stage! We then enjoyed a couple of mojito's at the Island Oasis Bar before a little more gaming! That's my husband, Don, next to her there at the bar!

APRIL FOOLS!!!

Enjoying a beautiful spring day!

Ella visits The Vegas Strip!

Last night Ella finally made it down to The Strip and was amazed by all of the sights! She also found it very interesting to visit where Gildah and I used to live and perform at The Mirage! She had to buy some good walking shoes and a souvineer T-shirt of course! No gambling tonight, too busy sight seeing!!

Up to Mount Charleston!

It was another beautiful day! We drove up to Mount Charleston in the Spring Mountain range. It is west of town and there are actually ski & snowbourd runs on the other side of the mountain from where we were. Most tourists don't even realize there is skiing just an hour N/W of town!
Ella really enjoyed the crisp, pine air, snow & blue sky! Note her little snowman and snow angel!!

Feeling groovy!

Just wanted to assure everyone that Ella is feeling well and went back out into the Mojave desert. Here she is with the Joshua trees. Good thing elephants have tough hides! Tomorrow we will go up into the snowy mountains that you see in the background! This afternoon she just wanted to hang out at the pool again. Is Vegas the only place you find big cactus plants growing by the pool?
