Looking at flamingos.  Did you know they are pinkish from eating shrimp?

Look closely in my sunglasses.  You will see Chris taking a picture.  So even though this isn’t a particularly flattering picture (talk-smile, gotta love it) I had to post it because it was our only picture semi-together.

Chris was actually born in Las Vegas and he lived there until he was 5.  We went and visited his old home.  He pointed out where all the family friends lived.  He knew exactly where he chipped his tooth and where the alley was that they used to cut through.  I was in awe at his memory and the huge cactus that was in the neighbor’s yard.  I had never seen a real cactus!

“Hi, first house!”

Greta was a champ the entire trip, well, until it was bedtime.  Everywhere we went, she got a lot of attention.  “Oh, this must be the cutest baby in Vegas!”  Lots of “OOoos” and “ahhhs”  and stares like, “I can’t believe you brought a baby to Las Vegas!”  She was a great prop when Chris auditioned for Minute-to-Win-it.  (awesome, right!?)  He was in a room with 5 other people also audtioning and Greta definitely helped keep the attention on him; Greta and his stellar personality.

Vegas loved Greta…and Greta thought Vegas was hilarious
