DP TOUR 2011 - Niagara Falls

[Margie-Rex's Mom]

RJM - I played the video of the boys playing for my brother. Jose got so excited at the sound of Gizzie's bark! He misses his buddy...

Yes, Kris...Phyrie thought I was 70 and "staid"...or to use the definition of the word - proper, serious, sedate. HAHAHAHA! I think it is because I tend to write a bit more formally than I actual feel or speak. But I do drink tea....

The party at Deb's was a blast!!! While my Scottish accent wasn't up to its usual standards, I do enjoy using it. If it hadn't been for Jose back at the hotel, I would have stayed longer. But not until 5 am. While I am NOT 70...I'm not 25, either.

Of the photos I took this weekend, these are my 4 favorites...







this one is my absolute favorite....

Margie, Those pics are great!
But I still think Paul should have been wearing black dress socks to complete the outfit.

Awww, sweet Jose, missing his buddy.

LOL!

70? really? LOL

More great pictures!!!

Ps. I don't think I'd made it to 5am either.

lmao, The HO in the picture just makes me LOL. Although he makes me laugh in every one he's in lol

Angie, I just love your videos! You did an excellent job of editing. We did have some fun! The party went so well.

You know I love you all, so much!

I love the pictures that have been posted so far. I uploaded all of mine to the computer this evening, and went through them and wrote down the numbers of the ones I plan to post. There are more than I have ever posted before! Thanks to Elliot.

I even have some new ones of Oliver and Henry to be posted, but not in this thread.

I loved the video of Gizzie and Jose in the room! They were so cute together..."The Butter Boys" indeed.

Thank heavens they were there as I was able to have my dog "fix" while missing my own.

Margie, I do hope Kim pops on and posts on here, even if it's in a week or so after we've uploaded all of the pictures. She was such a riot, as are you!

I love that picture of Paul! He is such a darling, as were all the wonderful partners that came along. All of the men were especially sweet with Elliot, and as evidenced by the video, Elliot had a terrific time as well. He went to bed around 2:00, as we were able to close the door between the living room and bedroom area. He was sound asleep when I finally called it a night.

RJM, I was so misty and teary leaving on Monday morning. Everyone else seemed to have their teary moments when we were there, but mine came as I was leaving. It ended too soon, but it was time. I love your changing pictures of the Falls. They are truly majestic.

I felt blessed to have had special time with everyone. Of course, it's never enough.

I loved all the pictures and videos. It is so wonderful seeing everyone together and having such a marvelous time and all the smiling faces, giggles and laughter. The boys especially enjoyed hearing Gizzie bark when he was playing with Jose and they were looking around for him, wanting to play, too. I would say that the Niagra trip was a smashing success.

Loving the photos!! I am so glad you all had fun and I am kicking myself for not going! The shirts look wonderful, did anyone get a group photo of you all in them?

I do have to say that as someone who is 24 y/o I couldn't stay up until 5am, 11pm is pushing it

[Oliver & Henry's Mum]

I finally uploaded all of my pictures, that I wished to post, onto Photobucket today, so here is a "Random Sampling" of just some of them:

Oh, there are plenty more where those came from, and I haven't even posted half of what I uploaded to Photobucket, which is only half of all the photos I have!

Is there a party going on in here?







I have loads more photos, but thought I would start with these.

[snifferspommom]

Great shots! Love the last one! Props to Elliot for being such a good boy and photographer!

[lucky&babesmom]

I love all the pictures and videos !!!!! So wished I could have been there.

[RubyJeansMom]

Deb, The pictures Eliot took of the Falls came out great! What an excellent view you had from your room.
That last pic is priceless.

[Sadie G]

What fun pictures and videos!!! I'm missing all of you, but oh the great memories we all have ♥

Deb, I did miss this last page

Tell Elliot he did a fantastic job on the photos! Del said to tell him the same, great great photos! I love the close-ups he did from your room of the water going over the edge.
That last photo of you that he took was the perfect one to post last in your set of photos . And you look good too babe!!!!

RJM, I love the changing colors of the falls that you did!!

[Oliver & Henry's Mum]

I'm glad everyone liked the photos. As I am generally not one to post pictures of myself, I had to post the last one because of Elliot's description of how it "went down". LOL! Apparently, I had just finished telling him to stop taking my picture. He loves to tell the story, complete with an imitation of his Mother.

We did have such fun, and I also thought Elliot captured some terrific shots of the Falls with the zoom lens. He started taking pictures as soon as we were settled in the room, which was within 10 minutes of arriving. I have tons of "Fall" pictures, and only posted a few. How many times can one look at water falling before it becomes too much?!

RJM, I just loved your slide show shots of the Falls. We didn't have much success, being indoors and trying to take photos of the Falls at night. I know you were outside and closer to them. Beautiful!

I do have some of the fireworks, and many more of my friends.

Never mind, there can't be too many pictures of the Falls because each second is different than the one before. ♥

OH MY GOSH, Those pictures are all just wonderful. I really enjoyed those zoom shots of the falls, just beautiful. I am a water buff and I love everything water. I even love to drink it.! Oh, I want to see everyone again and again. I want us all to move next to each other and have parties all the time. Now, wouldn't that be fun.
Deb, I love the pic of you and Phyrie. What lovely ladies. I really love to see these pictures over and over. Bob is sleeping but I will have to show him how much fun we had. He isn't totally up to par, but is getting there.

I am so happy that this great Niagara adventure happened and that I got to be a part of it and was privileged to meet my DP friends. Thanks everyone for being there and for all the friendlness and kindness of everyone and big thanks to Deb and Elliot for hosting the after Keg party. I wish I had known how long it would last, I would have stayed. I would have loved to be there until 4:30 AM.

I bet Phyrie is still on the road and having a blast with that dashing Paul of hers. He is pretty cute for an old hippie. <lol> Only kidding.

Everyone have a great night and catch you tomorrow.

Love, Elizabeth ~

RJM, I loved your night shots of the falls.
Deb, I enjoyed all your pictures. Congrats to Elliot on doing such a great job with the photography, especially the closeups of the falls, simply beautiful. Everyone looked their fantastic best and the shot of you and Phyrie brought a big smile to my face. Truly sisters.
I am sorry that I couldn't be with all of you but have so enjoyed the vacation living it through the photos and you are all very beautiful people.
