Vegas version of CCC continued...

On day 19 here in Vegas, we decided that our task would be to find some snow.  And BOY did we!  Not the snow that we are used to (though it did rain a lot today), but these were SNOW white tigers!  We went to the Mirage and saw the tigers, lions and dolphins.  They are breath-taking animals.  The lion tamer (I doubt that's his actual title) told the group there are no white tigers in the wild and some of these have only ever known the Mirage.  Sort of sad... though I'm happy there is a place where they can live.  Absolutely beautiful and Sam LOVED them!

Funny shot of Sam 'passed out' in the car... hat all crooked, best buddy by his side and drink still in his hand.  Very Vegas! 

"Hi Tiger!"  Here are the two tiger cubs.  They were after wrestling and fighting over a pumpkin.

That's a orange blur of a tiger behind Sam.

Who knew Sam would love Alpacas so so much!?!?

Not only snow white tigers, but snow white lions too!  I've never seen anything like them!  They were two of a pair and never moved away from each other.  AMAZING!

Cool dolphin pool.  It was great because it was low enough that Sam could just stand and look out at the dolphins.

"Sam, where did the dolphins go?" This is Sam answering "I don't know."

Each time they surfaced, Sam would yell "There it is!!"

Underwater viewing area.

HERE ARE A FEW FAVOURITE PHOTOS OF TODAY...

Giant waffle for a hungry little boy.  It made him soooo happy!

Not supposed to be a picture of Sam and a garbage can, but still pretty cute.

Our cool hotel pool that has an indoor and outdoor area.  It was a little rainy and windy to be outdoors, but toasty warm inside!
