A day with the Dolphins

One of our favorite places here in Vegas is at the Mirage.  It is the Secret Garden, home of the Tigers from Seigfried and Roy's show as well as dolphins.  The boys love it there.  It is the closest thing to a zoo that we have.  The boys love to see the dolphins and they got baby tigers this summer so we spend a lot of time watching the cute baby tigers.  We have gone three times already this summer.  We would go more but its a bit expensive.  We spent 4 and a half hours there on Friday.  We were excited because when we got there they told us that a new dolphin had been born on a week ago and that we would get a chance to see the baby.  There is an area where you can see below into the tank.  While we were down there looking through the windows in to the dolphin tank we got a view of a very happy male dolphin.  My son Lil'Will quips up, "Look there is a Daddy dolphin!!!" pointing very happily!  The room erupts into laughter.  Then a couple of minutes later Jessica was pointing out to William that the dolphins also had belly button just like him.  He then says, "My mommy lost her belly button."  Very seriously.  It was funny.  The people in the viewing room thought he was a riot.
