Lesson four: If you want a picture of yourself on one of the rides, just take a picture of it with your camera.  Everyone else does it, and the people who work there don't care.

Lesson five: It's easy to look crazy if someone is taking your picture just as an employee is announcing there is no flash photography.

Lesson six: ALWAYS indulge in at least one photo op.

Lesson seven: If you run around all day like a kid hopped up on sugar with limited water in 108 degree heat, you might get a little tired.

Lesson eight: Bring home something cute for your baby.

Lesson nine: After thanking your mom and dad for watching him, give him lots of hugs and kisses because you sure missed him a lot a lot.

Gotta love his two little teeth popping out.

Lesson ten: Hang out in Phoenix for a few days to enjoy the city and family before going back to Big Piney.
