Sharks, Jellyfish and whales...Oh My.

When a specialist appointment in Vancouver this week necessitated that I actually leave my beloved island (yikes), we decided to take the kids along and visit the aquarium on our way out of town.

Waiting for the dolphin show

The dolphin show was a-mazing! Unbelievable how agile and powerful they are.








Matthew's favorite part of the day was getting his own cone of strange whipped, not even cold product that was sold as ice-cream. (Seriously, I have no idea what that was and I'm trying not to think about how much petroleum we may have ingested.)

Caley watching the Beluga Whales

The Beluga Show

We got the kids up at 4:30am to leave the house by 5am. We got to the ferry to head back to the island at 3:45pm and didn't get onto the ferry until 7:45pm. ugggh. Not sure why the boats were so busy. Hockey fans heading back maybe? Matthew didn't sleep a wink all day until he crashed in the truck at 9pm. He just powered through all day.

Boy was I happy to see our farm when we pulled in at 11:15pm. Going to the city once every 3 years is often enough for a homebody hick like me!
