Viva Las Vegas

Here's some of the highlights from our fantastic 5 day Las Vegas trip. Overall, the trip was better than imagined. Thanks again Mom C for joining us.


Our first night Cal had to go see the castle (aka Excalibur) and can you believe it, it rained!

Sponge Bob, Cal, Mom inside the castle

Inside Excalibur Cal played his first round of carnival games...

...he even shared his winnings with Evangeline


At one of our many stops at Ellis Island for excellent food Evvy drew her first picture

Ceaser's Palace...


Both kids loved the gigantic aquariam at Ceasers, complete with Sting Rays

Evvy squealed and squealed...and still does when she approaches aquariams


Ah, the Bellagio fountians. During one of our many viewings they played Elvis Presley's Viva Las Vegas...it was the best show we've seen there yet

Pumpkin Patch 10/9/10

While visiting Grammie & Papa we went to Brosis' Sugar Tree Farm and pumpkin patch. Mr. Brosi gave the kids their first hay ride. Cal loved the huge pumpkin patch and the unexpected corn maze.








Cal loved this pumpkin because it was covered in stink bugs-go figure

Cal picked and carried out his own pumpkin





Papa & Cal entering the corn maze

"Come on guy!"






Clint's new 'husky' mustache

Where'd he go?



...and back at Grammie & Papa's house (see below)

Evvy made a new friend whom she smothered in kisses

Cal and Grammie did sticker projects

And then Evvy had a drink
