Making Strides

I've done the American Cancer Society's Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk a few times. This is the first time (that I know of) that it's taken place at Red Rock Casino and I like it! I've always enjoyed Canyon Run Drive, but the walk through Downtown Summerlin is a great idea. It's also conveniently walking distance from JJ's place.

The turnout was humongous (15,000 people?). Thanks to a very visible UPS sign, it was easy to meet up with coworkers, as well as UPSers from the package operations side that I don't even know.





A little early morning Zumba to get everyone warmed up.



Getting ready to start the 3-mile walk, but first let me take this quasi-selfie.





Strolling through Downtown Summerlin.





The route took us out to Sahara Avenue, around to Town Center Drive, and back to the staging area.

Stay Puft My Friends

We went to a pumpkin carving party, but naturally I forgot to bring a memory card with my camera. So here's a shot of our two pumpkins once we got home. For the larger spread (most of them anyway), check out my Google+ post.

6th Annual Rose Regatta

I had been to the Rose Regatta Dragon Boat Festival a couple of times, but this was my first time competing. Wow was that a lot of fun! We posted respectable times of 1:43 and 1:38. Not quite enough to get us into the finals, but not bad considering how our practices went. For sure, I'm proud of our team for the improvement in race 2. I already can't wait for next year!

Here is small selection of the few photos I took. I only busted out the camera after our second race and we left by noon.

Downtown Summerlin

Just a quick post from tonight's grand opening of Downtown Summerlin. It was actually quite a show with a surprisingly great fireworks display. As for the photo side of things, this is basically the only one that doesn't suck.

I completely underestimated the number of people who cared enough to be there. I should have just walked from Jieun's place. I'm looking forward to returning when there is a much smaller crowd.
