We made it to the aquarium today for a fun rainy-afternoon outing. Syd was the most excited to see the beluga whales, but it turned out the sharks were the animals to steal her heart. There were two of them sharing an awesome exhibit with a sea turtle and ray, and the kids were spellbound.
Nolie used the word “big” to describe some sizable fish and repeatedly referred to the two beluga whales as “whale.” Two new words added to his vocabulary! Thanks, Vancouver Aquarium!
The kids also loved Clownfish Corner, a newish play space for kids 8 and under. Some unique stations for being a marine biologist and a marine mammal doctor, plus the ever-popular boat with a, as Syd would say, “ginormous” steering wheel.
