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.

Charity wants to be a trick rider!

Charity told me she wanted to be like the kids in the radio show!

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.

The Dog and Mule Show??

Charity was convinced she was seeing a horse. I of course had to tell her a mule to which she asked Pandora's queston "what is a mule daddy?"... uh well.... let's see... when a dady donkey sees a mommy horse that is totally out of his league but refuses to relent then.... uh....

Mac and Cheese Monster

Charity got her dad's trait of getting "hangry". a good Mac and Cheese fix at Archibald's solves that quick.

Sock Monkey Dreams and Candy

Gadner Village is a great place to take a kid who loves just observing so many different things. my little monkey latched on to this sock monkey and told me "daddy take a picture.. it will be cute" I can't argue with logic like that!

Sock Monkey Dreams and Candy 2

I have been loving my retro phone app and had to get a seperate treatment of this proclaimedly "cute" pic.

My Little Rockstar

Looks like we need to get her a baby Red Bull to keep the party going.

Saving Lives

Charity sat in the Life Flight Helicopter on its visit to the Spanish Fork Fire Department. this is the same one that was used to save her Uncle Marcus so we were very happy to see it and tell the crew "Thank you".

The RRAARREE Bird Show...

In case you missed it, the title is a PCU reference. Camille and Charity got their picture with Liberty the Bald Eagle at the Hogle Zoo bird show. We love the Hogle Zoo!
