at the aquarium

if we lived in bristol we'd join all the other mum's in town and have a season ticket to the zoo ....but here in vancouver we don't have a zoo to visit so on a rainy day when mom and/or dad can't think of anything else to do, we go to see the fish at the aquarium.

i usually manage to make mom giggle by announcing very loudly as soon as we get inside "i see a fish". it's not quite as daft as it sounds as we also get to see sharks and turtles, sea otters, belugas, dolphins, birds, jellyfish, starfish and "the big one" - a huge sea lion

ollie likes lying on the floor and watching the belugas, i like clambering over the 'rocks' that surround the various tanks and displays. mom likes watching the dolphins jumping and the sea otters holding hands. i think dad would rather be in starbucks having a coffee, although he has been known to admire the jellyfish.

here's some photos for you:
