Pho Ya!

This morning was crazy windy, so we decided to take our hearty, corn-fed, Hoodlums out to fly kites. Dawson and Emma had a great time, but Sticks curled up in a ball on the astro turf to protect his fat-less organs from the bitter chill.
After our trip through Little Asia on Sunday, we all got a hankering for some Vietnamese food, specifically Pho, our favorite. It is a noodle soup dish with bean sprouts, lime, mint, jalapenos, and rare beef, and is actually pronounced like, 'fuh'. Imagine our surprise and delight, to find this little gem in the desert. I thought it was a theme'd out place, just for Vegas, but they only had delicious pho. No t-shirts, and nobody snickering inside. Hmm.
Later, we killed some time around the pool area. We didn't even notice the No Climbing sign until we were looking at the pictures later. We are very attentive parents.

With the Hoodlums properly fed and exercised, we had a few hours before our movie started so we hit the aquarium, once again, smack dab in the middle of a casino. The Hoodlums thought the fish were pretty cool, but the "Skoover Diber" was the main attraction. We watched her scrub crap off the reef with a tooth brush for quite a while. Then hit the 3D showing of How To Train Your Dragon.
Emma likes a movie as long as we have popcorn to put in her mouth, otherwise she is singing or talking. We went through a jumbo and a refill. The movie was pretty cute.

  1. Well you KNOW I was laughing and snickering so hard I had to call Jordan and tell him we are going to Vegas just to check this Pho's place out ourselves....there's no way I could get him to eat anything vietnamese otherwise (too many special mission memories).
