Heartache At The Hardrock
Good Morning,
My family and our group of local hoeschoolers had the pleasure of attending the Seminole Indians yearly tribal fest at the Hard Rock Hotel here in Hollywood FL today. Here are a few of the pictures from today

Try this with a real one..........

Native Dancers

More dancing

These were called The Stompers

Then we decided to head over to the wildlife show. I snapped the following picture of this willing participant while exiting the gift shop. My wife and kids felt like shopping, the show was at 2:00 so they wanted to kill some time.

I struck up a conversation outside while waiting for them with a Police Officer who was working a detail. While we were talking she received a call over the radio that she immediately excused herself and took off running. I debated on whether or not to follow. I chose not and it wasn't until we got home that I found out why she took off.
We finally got in to sit at the show and here were some of the things we got to hear about.
Rats
![128477696-M.jpg](http://imax.smugmug.com/photos/128477696-M.jpg)
Snails
![128477646-M.jpg](http://imax.smugmug.com/photos/128477646-M.jpg)
Turtles
![128477896-M.jpg](http://imax.smugmug.com/photos/128477896-M.jpg)
Marcia got picked out of the audience to see if she could get what this was while blinfolded, it wasn't hard
![128477974-M.jpg](http://imax.smugmug.com/photos/128477974-M.jpg)
A Cute Possum
![128478261-M.jpg](http://imax.smugmug.com/photos/128478261-M.jpg)
And of course the coolest cat there
![128478839-M.jpg](http://imax.smugmug.com/photos/128478839-M.jpg)
The show ended at about 2:30 but at about 2:20 we kept hearing helicopters overhead.
![128479059-M.jpg](http://imax.smugmug.com/photos/128479059-M.jpg)
I snapped a few more pictures on tthe way out
The Hunter
![128479054-M.jpg](http://imax.smugmug.com/photos/128479054-M.jpg)
Wife And Kids
![128479123-M.jpg](http://imax.smugmug.com/photos/128479123-M.jpg)
Another smile
![128478979-M.jpg](http://imax.smugmug.com/photos/128478979-M.jpg)
Then we hit the road. When we got home we heard the sad news about Anna Nicole Smith and how she had suddenly died while at the hotel. That was what the helicopter was about and the reason that the officer took off runnig.
I guess that brings up the question:
Should I have followed?
I don't know, maybe I'll post that question to all and see what everyone thinks about it. Anyway if you want to see more here is a link to the rest.
