The lighting wasn't great,but the photos have a night time look.

otftch - did NMRA treat you boys right?  It's a little hard to see the layout in some of your photos.

But, I checked out your home layout albums, and you have a very nice setup.  You should post some pics on Sunday Photo fun, and will probably get a bit more feedback.

Thanks for sharing.

I really wanted to get to that convention, but my little one had 8th grade dinners and such, so since she was leaving to go to High School, I didn't make it.  What is the dates on the Lions show?  I'd like to go, since it's only about 2 hrs from here.  Thanks!
