We left Denham at 7am to head to Monkey Mia to see the much anticipated wild dolphins. Monkey Mia has a license to feed the wild dolphins, if they show. Which apparently they usually show up at 7:30am. sometimes at 8:30, and sometimes 9:30, and they have not missed a showing but twice in the past many years. So you know whats coming, right? The dolphins did not show up at 7:30, 8:30 or 9:30! We made the most of our time...

| I like this sequence. Lily and Caden look like they own the place. |

 |
| As tide went out, the beach became increasingly mucky - and interesting |
 |
| As usual, Caden makes a little buddy to explore with |
 |
| This gaggle of explorers, with Caden front and center, made a sophisticated and organized pool system to hold the many different creatures they collected. |
 |
| Next they discovered a dead fish - ugh! |
 |
| It had its own pool |

I headed down to inspect the pools and my little explorer, and low and behold, the dolphins made an unexpected visit! So amazing to see these beautiful creatures up close and personal!
 |
| All of the beach-goers gathered 'round to see. Lily is front and center holding up her yellow skirt. |
 |
| Here is her view. |

We waved goodbye to our dolphin friends and headed back out on the open road. Next stop - Ningaloo Reef!
