Summertime activity

Good-day mates!  Christie and I have been working on a pirate routine that she'll be performing at the Museum of Nature and Science, so I'm walking around talking pirate lingo!  yikes! So, this Summer has been a  busy one.  We just got back from Las Vegas working on the Garth Brooks, " Teammates for Kids" appreciation party. It's a lot of hard work with lots of different events to attend and shoot pictures of, but the whole weekend is capped off with a wonderful concert from Garth and his band.   We stayed at the Wynn Hotel and, man,  what a hotel!

No scrimping at this place.  I swear, one chandelier cost as much as my house. The big item up for bid this time was a Shelby 350GT... donated by Carroll Shelby himself.

Vegas

We're at the Wynn Resort in Las Vegas!   Dang!... unbelievable how much money is spent on these resorts!  We're here for the Garth Brooks, Teammates for Kids fundraiser and concert.  I'm the official photographer so I get to hang around with Garth a lot.  This'll be the 4th time Christie and I have come here and it's a lot of work.  But these kids are seriously ill and 100% of the money raised goes to them.  That's great!  Funny though, as much time as we've spent with Garth, I can't say we've really ever gotten to know him and Trisha. They are always surrounded by people.
We got in yesterday at midday and had the rest of the day to walk around,  lose a little money and  exhaust ourselves in this midsummer heat!!  My goodness... 110 degrees!
I'll post some pictures over the next couple of days.
