I recently had a sweet sixteen party for my daughter. We did a black light party where we removed the regular recessed lighting bulbs in our back room and replaced them with black light bulbs. Then I bought a bunch of glow sticks, necklaces and bracelets. The room was dark, but not too dark and the kids had a lot of fun. The one thing I forgot was to make sure that there were digital cameras to take pictures of the event. I think I only have a couple of photos. Next time, maybe I will provide disposable cameras for the teens so that I get some good memories.

I have decided that part of my vacation this year will be spent driving between Las Vegas, Utah and California. I found that it was cheaper to fly into Las Vegas and drive than try and make flight plans between my home and Utah and California.
Part of my driving will take place in Yosemite where our family reunion is being held. I love Yosemite! What I don’t like are all the RVs that are there. Often I see them broken down on the side of the road and hope that they have a good sam extended service plan to get repaired and on there way. There is nothing worse than an RV holding up traffic.
Here is one of the things I plan to see in Yosemite:

YouTube is filled with mock commercials. Usually they take a serious commercial and make it a funnier. This one is a spoof on a commercial about hemorrhoids relief. I love how the one girl immediately pulls out her cell phone to take a picture! Technology will make us take pictures of anything! Don’t worry, they never show anything racy, it is all in good fun!
I am still working to get all the stuff I need ready for my daughter’s sweet sixteen party. Good thing I have access to color printing so I could print off the invitations myself. I still need to order food, order blacklight stuff and get the house in order for the party. I am not sure how many people are coming yet, so I am going to wait a little to order the food.
Hopefully the party will be a great success!!
