Vegas Baby...

A quick post from the road. We have been on our trip for a week now and are having a great time. We were at Ben Johnson's wedding last Saturday then spent the next few days with the Wheelers for a family reunion. Yesterday we saw some dinosaur tracks and made our way back to Vegas where we will spend a few days. Many more updates and pictures once we get back to SA-town, but we thought we'd post a few pictures and share another of Joey's trademark anecdotes:

Me: (after Joey ran away from us for the 10th time in a casino to "play games") Joseph! Stop running away from me!

Joey: But I want to play games!

Me: Those aren't kids games.

Joey: But I can still play them.

Me: No, you have to be older or you'll get in trouble. Plus, you can't keep running away from us. There are lots of people and lots of things in Las Vegas and you'll get lost if you keep running away from us.

Joey: (looks at me, thinking).

Me: Okay? Can you stay next to me please and stop running away?

Joey: (thinking)

Joey: (thinking)

Joey: (thinking)

Joey: (light bulb goes on) Yeah, okay Daddy, that's why they call it Lost Vegas.

Here are some pics:

Tori at the Dinosaur Tracks doing her latest little thing with her mouth.
Another shot of Tori at the Dinosaur place--still doing the mouth thing.

The kids in our room at the Palazzo.
They all really liked the view--it reminded Liz and I of the two boys pressing their noses against our windows in our 22nd floor apartment in Philly so many times.


In front of the Trevi Fountain (well, a replica) at Caesar's.
And in front of the waterfalls at the Wynn.

More to come...

Oh man! We may have been in St. George or Vegas at the same time -- wish we had coordinated seeing you guys.

See those animated figures in the background of your Dinosaur Discovery picture (Arthur MacArthur and dinosaur)? We know the animator -- Mark Swan. He animated "Little Foot" in "Land Before Time". My parents work on his animation business with him. Nice guy. We've done lunch.

Cute pictures of the kids....as always. I like the Tori lip move.
