NOAH Ice Skate-A-Thon

We joined other DC NOAH folks for an ice skate-a-thon in February.  Officially NOAH has a bowl-a-thon, but we dared to be different.  It is not too late to donate to NOAH.  You can contact them by clicking here and they will gladly accept your tax deductible donation to assist with albinism research, awareness, advocacy, education and conferences.

DC NOAH Gathering, Sunday, July 6

We try to get together a few times a year. Time we had Carol join us. She is a clown and great face painter. Carol offered us her services for free and the kids had a blast! We also decorated t-shirts for NOAH's national conference later that week. The kids played, the adults chatted and we ended with the 'Watermelon Man' cutting open a juicy red watermelon!!!













and if you rub your hands on your face, this is the result...

We have been in Vegas, baby! Since last Wednesday. My impressions of Vegas aka Sin City...

HOT!!!! You still sweat in a dry heat when it is 112!
Crowded - There are people everywhere...all the time
Overbuilt - the buildings are so tall and sprawling that you can't see lights down the strip
Overstimulating - to get anywhere you have to walk through a casino. It is noisy with flashing lights and smoky.
Overrated - That sums it up!

However, the conference was great!!! We made new friends and visited with old ones. The kids got to play and we did too. Scott and I went Cirque du Soleil's LOVE show - it was amazing!!!! I could easily go again.



Now I need to sign off and try to get some sleep...
