Its a long one folks but there are lots a pictures!

More Vegas pictures. OK these are going to be totally random! For one I don't know how to use blogger and whenever I load a new picture it goes to the top even when I don't want it to. For two at this point I don't know what order they should be in. Lets just be honest.
Paul and Carl with the Van Halen tickets! Expensive pieces of paper but they said it was an awesome concert! Carl is a concert virgin - well not anymore Van Halen has taken that away from him and I think he thoroughly enjoyed it. Have a mentioned that Carl is on a hair cut strike? Well he is - more on that later.

The first picture we took after dropping our camera in the middle of a casino. Let me rephrase that, Carl dropped the camera but it was my fault.

Lex doing the Vana.

On top of the conference center - awesome view!

This is about 1 hour into the trip. Lex slept all the way to SLC. We didn't leave Idaho until about 7 p.m. so I was afraid he wouldn't sleep when we got to the hotel. To my surprise he slept all night!

This is the gas station where Lex HAD to go to the bathroom. We were driving down the highway on our way home and Lex said in a very panicked voice, "I gotta go poop". We weren't sure where the next gas station was so we pulled off at the next exit. We drive down the road in the middle of no where. Finally there is a sign that says the town is 7 miles away. To which I said to Lex you better really need to go. Lex is what you would call a "home pooper". Ya know the type that just needs to be in the comfort of their own home to go. I guess he gets stage fright. Anyway we stop at the one and only gas station and rush to the potty. It was a good thing we stopped, I'm pretty sure he was prairie doggin' it. Anyway I think the town was called Kanosh - nice folks if you ever need to use the facilities. It's somewhere between here and Vegas. Now Lex can say he pooped in Kanosh. Can you?

Lex pulling yet another great pose. I would really like to know what is going on in that head.

Mountains anyone?

Lex's favorite part of the trip was the pool at the St. George hotel. I am really glad we drove for 4 days so swimming could be his favorite part.

I think this bucket of crab legs and various other things were Carl's favorite part of the trip, next to the concert of course. If we had a Joe's Crab Shack I would be in trouble. At least they had chicken.

We went to the Shark Reef at Mandalay Bay it was really cool. Lex got a hat for free and a really expensive piece of crap water gun. I think the hat lasted longer than the water gun - but that's OK he was one happy boy to get it.

This was inside the shark reef again not sure what is going on inside this kids head but he makes me laugh!
