Josh and I were planning on going to Texas this last weekend, to reunite with some friends, get some good BBQ and do some real dancing. Unfortunately the flights were completely full (we were going to fly standby) and we couldn't go. So we were planning a nice "quiet" weekend (I was going to work Saturday). Well, plans changed again, and my mom came into town!! It was so nice to see her again, even if all we did was just bum around. We went to the mall and to Ikea, it was fun. Then around 8:00 pm Saturday night, she mentioned that we should have done some family pictures, since we haven't had one in years. So we started trying to think of inexpensive ways to do one, last minute. Finally we decided that we should go to a hotel and take one in front of a fireplace. Of course, we'd have to decide on a hotel. So about 9:00 pm, we were walking into Grand America in our sweats/pajamas, looking for a good photo location. We did decide to photograph there at the Grand America, so we called my brothers (they were at their dad's) and told them we'd pick them up in the morning and to dress a little nicer. Josh had a fun idea to do a "silly" picture, and wanted to add objects from the film "Clue". So, still in our fancy night time apparel, we headed to a couple different stores, in search of props. Around 10:30 at Walmart, we settled on silly masks. It was quite an interesting night, to say the least. The next morning our photos took place, and we got a bell hop to take them for us. They turned out pretty good. I still would like to do some real family photos, but this is more than sufficient for now!
