A visit to the Aquarium

Sophia and I spent the day at the Vancouver Aquarium recently. I have every other Friday off work and this is my mommy-and-Sophia day. Sometimes we run errands, sometimes we have playdates, and sometimes, we go on a field trip just the two of us. This was Sophia’s first visit to the Aquarium and she really enjoyed it. She loved the Beluga whales the best. Thankfully, the sun came out in the afternoon and we were able to sit by the whale pool for a while. Sophia played on the steps while going to say hello to the whales once in a while. We were able to catch the Beluga whale show, as well as the dolphin show. Sophia is really into Kung Fu Panda right now and she got very excited when she saw the sea turtle, calling him Oogway (a character from the show). We bought a little white whale stuff toy in the gift shop as a memento of our fantastic day together at the Aquarium. She named her little whale Aurora, after the real whale we watched at the show. Afterward, we went to see the Totem poles and walked along the sea wall for a little bit.

Here are some pics from our day in Stanley Park..
