BC Aquarium

Today we took Jace to the aqaurium.  He LOVED it.  He was talking the whole time, and telling us the animals that he saw.  He watches Bubble Guppies on TV sometimes, so when he first saw the fish, all he said was "Guppies" over and over.  At the end, he was calling them fish though...usually!

So excited on the way to the car, he lost a shoe, picked it up and kept running!

There were alot of frogs at the aquarium.  Earlier I said that I had wanted a pot bellied pig growing up.  When my mom saw the post, she texted me and said I still couldn't have one, lol!  The other pet I had asked for was a tree frog...once again a big fat no!  In hindsight, I am so glad we only had dogs, but they are cute to look at!

Gma and Jace looking at all the fish!





Jace was in awe of all the cool stuff he saw.  It was such a fun day for the four of us!

Jace and Daddy looking at the penguins!  Jace had fun looking at these, one of his little stuffies that he has had since he was a baby was a little penguin.  He always slept with it at Amanda's and now since he is at home for the summer, it has joined "baby monkey" in his crib.

 Watching the dolphins before their show.





So fat and ugly that he is cute!

These frogs were my favorite.  They were so tiny!!!  About half the size of my thumb!

This was a neat spot.  You could crawl under this exhibit (not easy) and stick your head up inside this bubble.  Jace thought this was just awesome.  You got a close up look of some frogs and fish.





While the dolphin show was going on, we were underneath watching them jump.  Jace talked and talked during this part.  He was so excited watching the dolphins swim and jump.  It's hard to see the dolphins in some of the pics but they are there!




Checking out all of the starfish.



As always, we make sure we find some kind of a treat before we leave!

A Trip Through Stanley Park

So for the last 18 months Amber has been offering to teach me to use this blog. Well I finally get my chance.... Today Amber wanted to go downtown to check out the variety of food trucks that Vancouver has to offer. She had some amazing fish and chips. While leaving downtown, we saw other great food trucks that we will have to go downtown again before we leave. After we decided to take Jace to Stanley Park and check out the sites.

 Love this little guy so much!

 Jace was playing the drums on the tree.

 Peeky Boo Mommy!

 Shhhh....I'm hiding.

We have had a lot of fun in Vancouver and Jace has experienced so much!
Do not want the holiday to end.

Spray Park

Today was a beautiful day in Vancouver, so we walked down to the market.  They have a great spray park and playground down there.  Jace had a blast!

This is how most of the day went.  Jace running and someone chasing after him. 

Smiling for the camera, for once!





Gpa and Jace playing with the fountains.
