Casualties of Touring

"I hope that when they get older, they'll be thankful for all the places they were able to see, and they won't just think, 'Papa is dragging us off to see more rocks', " Darren said, chuckling as the pink-cheeked kids collapsed in the car. Walking around Disneyland is one things; hiking around the ruins at Jerash under the blazing sun is another. The kids did a really good job, but whenever we were able to find some shade, we took the opportunity to rest in the shelter it provided. The cool, stone floor of a theater passage offered the perfect place to collapse. They looked so cute that I couldn't resist taking these pictures.
