ROYAL FLUSH

This year for Halloween we dressed up in playing cards and were a 'Royal Flush.' A little Kinkos, paint, tape, and we were good to go! It wasn't until AFTER I had them done that I found out that a royal flush in a hearts beats out a royal flush of diamonds. Who knew?! You can click on the pictures to see them better. They're sort of fuzzy this size. We went to Mon Ami Gabi (my favorite french restaurant) at the Paris on the strip and quickly found out that when you're a deck of playing cards, walking through the casino, you're a hit! We had people taking pictures of us all night and one guy even asked to take a picture with us for luck.

Since we had a 1 1/2 hour wait to sit on the patio we went over to the Bellagio and watched the fountains going off. The fountains and Mon Ami Gabi are my favorite thing on the strip. The best part of it is that as you sit at the restaurant you can watch them going off directly across the street.

They had some new songs at the Bellagio, and the classics that are always fun to watch. The higher the water, the better the show. It was good times!

So Halloween this year was pretty much a success! Such a fun night with such a fun group of people! Our last 'hurrah' before Calvin and Karissa move to California next week. Hooray for good friends and fun memories. Next up.....our annual Mexican fiesta on Thanksgiving Day! How I love the holidays!!!
