Another one of the highlights from our St. George trip was a trip to this museum. They gave each of the kids a pair of binoculars and we got a radio to tell us interesting facts about all of the animals on display.
The animals were fascinating. I expected something like Cabelas or the Bean Museum at BYU, but this was so much more elaborate. They had the animals in scenes. It was really cool.
The kids were concerned about this display, so we told them that the cheetah is hugging the other animal (I have no idea what it is). That did the trick.
Such a good sport. I will say that about him a million times over. He was such a champ the whole time.
They kids had so many things they loved and wanted to show us.
Palmer listened to the radio the whole time and learned some great stuff about these animals.
The binoculars were a serious high point. The kids loved them and used them like glasses. They didn't come off their eyes a whole lot.
Totally engrossed in reading a pamphlet. If you look close you can see it is upside down.
They had this cute place for the kids to play. You could dress up in camo and play on a playhouse or in a tent.
The kids weren't too interested in dressing up, until Dad showed them how fun it could be.
Love giraffes. I have always wondered how they drank. Absolutely does not look comfortable.
The picture above and below look like the boys are checking out the animal's behinds with their binoculars. Hilarious.
Some more cool animals.
Every once in a while the lights would go off and they would simulate a thunder storm.
Best family photo we could get.
McKay ended up falling asleep. We had such a good time.

Okay, I've been to St. George a lot, and never been to any of these places. We've got some stops to make next time we are going through!
