Are You Ready For Some FOOTBALL?

Anyone who knows us knows that fottball is a big deal in our house.


The first preseason game was on August 9th this year.

In honor of the day, Daddy & Alexis wore their new Bears outfits.

Daddy got a new orange Brian Urlacher jersey

And Alexis wore her new Bears cheerleader outfit.

Before the game started, we decided to head to the park.

That's always a favorite spot of Alexis'.

She especially loves the swings.

Wheeeeee!

Happy girl.

Checking out the action at the park.

Oh so much fun!

Enough of that!

Down the slide!

On the monkey bars.

Hang on!

Just being silly.

It's hard to hear, but there are a few giggles at the beginning of this video, but she was quickly distracted by the other children at the park.

Lake Las Vegas

A few weeks ago (one of these days, I'll get caught up so that all my posts don't start the same way), we took a drive to Lake Las Vegas.

Alexis was excited!!

And, oh so cute!

Entering Lake Las Vegas

Waterfall at the entrance.

The drive in.


Beautiful view!

The balcony at the Ritz-Carlton.

Inside the Ritz.

The view from the balcony.

A little closer.

Walking down the steps.

A fountain.

Alexis checking out the view.

And what a view it is!

A little closer.

Another fountain.

The lake.

View of the little town from one of the docks.

Another angle.

Looking the other way.

Daddy and Alexis.

A party boat that you can rent for weddings and other events.

Some more of the town.

A small bridge.

Quack, quack, quack!

Enjoying the day.

Daddy and Alexis.

And again.

Going in for a closer look.

Just hanging out.

Pushing her stroller.

Grassy hill.

Nice bridge.

A street filled with quaint little shops.

I'm not sure where these stairs lead; I just thought it was pretty.

Up close.

Another street.

Gazebo.

Oooooh! Look at what we found!!

Silly Daddy!

Fire pit.

The courtyard.
