Always happy to see family, we took advantage of a few days off and drove over (in car only) to see daughter Mary and her family in Las Vegas. We stayed in rental cabin at Thousand Trails which was much more cost effective than driving rig over... wonderful to see them as always. Jason had never been there before so we walked our legs off visiting the various "shows" and hotels. The grandkids loved it and we loved seeing them. This is picture from Sam's Town where they have a waterfall show in afternoon.
You know how little children get excited about playing with a box or plastic containers, well that is about how we are when we see mobs of birds! It is so enjoyable to see hoards of birds flying all crazy like - Natural Bridge is a very cool little beach where the birds congregate and there is a little park here and for some unknown reason the monarch butterflies also come here during migration. We were a little early to see too many butterflies but did manage to see a few. Notice how all the birds are facing the same direction - that is how they are wherever they are - or so it would seem - always facing into the wind. Nice that there is a place for birds so many places with no birds anymore. It's awful for bird lovers like us but this day was pure joy!
