Uh, there's a lot more than chocolate in those mini-bars.

For a while this got me thinking... "mini chocolate bars...? what else is in those then?"

Salted peanuts and chips.

I'm sure the responsibles 'cleaned' the Mini-Bar so that only soft-drinks were in it.

Have you ever flown in a plane and seen someone order an alcoholic drink (other than beer or wine)? The stewardess usually brings a mixer and a miniature bottle of liquor - rum, whiskey, gin, etc.
That's what else is in a mini-bar, miniature liquors, mixers and a variety of beers. Min-bars are usually locked. Hotes that have mini-bars will usually ask the customer qhwn they check in if they want the key to the min-bar. While you're staying the staff checks the bar periodically and you get charged an outrageous price for everything you take out of the mini-bar.

OK I couldn't resist and just commented on every single picture

1. Cute picture of not so Mini anymore Mini Ben

2. Is Matthew wearing the same hat as his big brother last year?

3. I wonder what the score is some of the boys are holding. Maybe it's the John Rich song that they sang in at the Starkey Gala as the next pictures are from that occasion.

4. Ralph's vegetable-green spacey specs, lol

5. Yay, a good picture of the Starkey performance

6. Cassius conversing with Miley Cyrus - I wonder if he complimented her on her dress

7. ...Boys and lots of green and a big fan... ? An intriguing picture!

8.9. So is that a hovercraft or something they're on? That must have been such a relief in that heat And I notice it's mostly the newbies on there, way to go boys

10. Barney's sunglasses, lol And look, it's the Canadian seagull James met earlier this year

11. Matthew J - did you just dig up a ton of seaweed

12. Cool - the next picture I think has RP sporting a really cool cowboy hat in the background

13. Is that -- ...Jakob with wet hair? Took me a while to guess!

14. What is this, Libera mystery picture archive? All these pictures end up with me stuck with a question. Like - what is Jude doing with that huge straw??

15. Nice - Sammy, we know now what you're reading (well, smelling more like in this picture, but anyway )

16. Big Ben and Mini Ben and some technical conversing among the 'lads' of Libera

17. Barney's sunglasses again - on a boat of some kind - reminds me of a tour I once did on the Hudson around Manhattan

18. Jude in the NASA museum I think? The suit looks good on you

19. Really fun picture of the boys - look at all the different expressions, and Ralph pretending to sleep (once again they're holding scores, hmm... can we do another mystery hunt like with the Christmas studio picture? )

20. Ohh, Cassius on a cow! How addorable Come to the Netherlands, you'd feel right at home

21. Nice 'gossipy' shot of Orlando looking up. Everyone seems to be reading from a book, I wonder where this picture was taken.

22. Beautiful atmospheric live picture - where? Love the stained-glass, the colours are very nice.

23. Lining up - nervous maybe? (so nervous some of them can't stand still for the camera )

24. Everyone going under a bridge - once again reminds me of my Hudson trip Is that Mrs. Geraghty in the background having a laugh? Oh and Cassius posing so natural, he could be the new Libera poster boy

25. Lovely portrait of Kavana

26. Neat picture of Barney in a place full of mirrors! Where would this be taken?

27. LOL at Eoghan - yo, this is MY vehicle I love how many boys fit in that one huge wheel

28. that circus picture just kills me!! Hahahaha

29. Matthew J, what are you reading and what are you looking at?

30. Nice sunny picture of a beautiful church and some wonderful choir boys

31. Sammy relaxing at some waterside porch

32. Dylan posing for his milshake ad

33. Michael, hardest working newbie in Libera

34. OOh, a cupcake I wonder how long Ralph finally got the guts to set his teeth into it...

35. 36. Newbies and big boys having a good time (so wait, is Eoghan one of the big boys already then )

37. Oh, that's an adorable picture of Isaac at one of the M&G's!

38. That look on Eoghan's face spells mischief - like he is about to put that hotdog in his mouth in one piece

39. The M&G at Frisco I think - Matthew just loves the anticipation of putting his signature

40. 41. Screen time I think this was called?

42. Talk about screens

43. Oww cute picture of Barney and Orlando ^^

44. No comment necessary (except: Holland does too ^^)

45. Nano Ben is holding an artistic display of... paprika rings? (or lemon rings?)

46. Sammy is no longer impressed with the camera

47. Wow that must be a really good book they're reading

48. Ooh a nice b&w picture Is this from Ave Verum? Looks like a rehearsal.

Had fun reading all your comments Maarten! Love these pictures of the boys just being boys and having fun!
(Mini) Ben is all grown up. Pic 8-9, that's actually a banana boat.
Eoghan is one to watch out for! Lotsa personality and talent, that kid!

This is the best photo , simply because Josh wore it last year. So its a nice flashback and a little inside joke i assume.

And just noticed Steven in it as well.

[fan_de_LoK]

I agree Dani, nice Photo


(I merge the recent posts with the main topic related to the USA Tour 2011, it's the same subject).

[dani]

Yes that is a banana boat.

Very popular as they take you out to sea and then throw you off and then you all climb back on and the same happens. You try and cling on for as long as possible but you always end up being chucked up in the air.

That would be how Ralph got a nose bleed at some point by being kneed in the face by one of the other flying boys.

18. Jude in the NASA museum I think? The suit looks good on you

Are you sure it's Jude ? I'm not recognizing him (but I can't say who is he, so you may be right... I don't know..)



What I'm sure is this photo was not taken at Nasa center in Houston, it was at the Science Museum of Chicago

When I saw that costume model I was quite sure they will have made pictures of boys in it

You are correct. That is from the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago. I have pictures of our family kids in that. And that sure looks like Jude to me.

Thanks Katy!
Funny avatar!

Well, 6 blog postings and a new gallery! What can be better? Nothing except a new CD/DVD
Some of them are virtually born for the camera

[labbie]

The boys will really enjoy looking back on all their memories of this tour. The pictures in this gallery are really well done - interesting angles, etc. Of course, number 28 is priceless - the funny face on Cassius! From all accounts, it seems to be right in character for him! He seems to be the author of some of the funniest moments in the media coverage of this tour.

[Rebecca (:]

Oh my goodness! What fantastic pictures! So thrilled that they were posted
Really happy that they saw my "Houston Loves Libera" posters! I had no idea they'd put a photo of one on the site!
