Many thanks to Dad Olney for providing pictures of Conclave this year.

As I was not attending as I was on a secret vacation... I will just have to guess what is going on in the pictures... but I have to do that half the time anyways.

If you have pictures you would like added to the page please forward them to me at dmason33@hotmail.com

It was another early start for conclave.

either way too much enthusiasm or she found a local Star Bucks

Ok.. i want a good clean fight... I mean competition.

are they handing out free caffeine?

this is going to be great... no one will be expecting water balloons today

we are not going to run short of basketballs this year.

the ping pong tournament really picked up this year with a second table.

no expenses were spared for lunch this year... bag lunches for all

and if you don't like it... talk to this man :)

and I got this scar at Conclave 2004

I was the victim of a run by water balloon... excuse me.. I must hurt someone now

I have a football balanced on my head.... what can you do?

the opening ceremony

if I have to keep my hands on my knees for 30 more minutes... i am going to nail another advisor with a water balloon

woo hoo.. formal part is over... time for fun now.

..

Well... after all the speeches

more sack lunches?

I love this guy

oh dear... we made another Chevalier

what you can't read.. "will trade trophy for fun night of poker"

hmm... I wonder what happened to the trophy.

we aren't as sophisticated as ESPN World Poker

but the dealers are easier to fool here

round and round she goes... wait... who put the Cheez-it in the roulette wheel?

the prizes are so much more fun here too.. who wants all that money they give away... I want the Red vines.

hmm.. i have one red chip left... but she is so cute...

the judge has to come in... I am telling you.. a full house beats a straight flush.. doesn't it?

My heart will go on....

wow... she can really sing

I have no idea

no.. you can't call 2 aces 22... you have 12.

I'm a little bit country.... and I'm a little bit rock and roll...

(Donnie and Marie reference for the younger generation)

the house always wins

ok.. Bidding starts at $35.00 for this sweet looking kid...

it's your bet

those high notes are always so hard to hit

these are the moves that made me famous

oh yea.. i got it.. i got it...

i guess they are getting desperate for new advisors

I won a bag of blue sand after the night was over...

and i got a flat beach ball

ok.. i just got here... I am ready to go... what you mean go home?
