The Conservatory - Bellagio
Floral Painting 2 - Belagio
This entire "painting" was made up of flowers.

See the painting at the end of this bridge? see Floral Painting 2 for the details.
Bird Haven - Bellagio
This green house in the conservatory had a ton of awesome birds living in it.
Liberty Bell - Bellagio
I love the exhibits in the Conservatory at the Bellagio.

Zion
As amazingly beautiful as this park is, I know why they called it Zion.
Weeping Rock
One of the few walks we got to take was to Weeping Rock. I love this view of the growth coming from the wet rocks.
My Hikers
Charity and Camille really loved walking around Zion's and seeing the scenery and animals.
Where We Once Played
A lot has changed in Zion's since I was a kid. You can no longer camp or even drive beyond the turn off to the tunnle. We rested at this bench at the Grotto stop and I reminisced about playing in Zion as a kid.
Zion's National Park
I have not been to Zion's since I was a kid but we loved getting to briefly visit this past weekend.
Jared
Hidden
Charity loved hiding in these little rock alcoves all throughout Zion's.
M&M Pennies
Charity found her collection in stamped pennies.
Choco and Charity
Charity loved this animatronic crocodile at the Rainforest Cafe.
Charity's Lions
One stop we always make in Vegas is the lions at MGM. Charity and I could stare at them all day.

Lying Down With Lambs
We stopped at a gas station in Scipio that has a petting zoo and Charity made some cute wooly friends.
Our Little Trooper
Charity has been fantastic on this drive to Mequite. she is still so happy with her pink headphones at 10 at night.
Shorts a'la Jared
At first I thought I had just made friends with a cute baby goat. turns out the smell from my chicken wrap still lingered on my shorts and he tried for a nibble... I hope I tasted good...
Emu Games
These guys are a lot of fun to watch. I could enjoy having a herd of these and a herd of Cassowarys.
Star of the Show
The big attraction at this stop is the Zebra colt they have here. we loved feeding him and he loved being fed. How many gas station/rest stops can boast a baby zebra?
Good Donkey...
Charity seems to have a pension for mules and donkeys of late.

Get 'em Calamity Jane
We loved watching the Stage Coach ride into town. It was especially fun to see Calamity Jane and Wyatt Erp run off those marauding bandits bent on robbing the coach.
Saving Wild Horses
They had an area talking about the project to adopt and protect wild horses in Utah. Charity really loved it and talked a lot about keeping the horses safe.
Rough Rider
Charity's pony was pretty eager to get going and was pushing the walker while they were still loading other riders. somehow the little pony got around the walker and took some re-directing but ole Cool Hand Charity kept her head and even told the pony "hey pony" stop for the kids".
The Porker 500
Charity's favorite activity at The Wild West Show was the pig races. We rooted for Arnold Schwartzenhogger and Britney Spare Ribs.
