Yesterday evening Sydney and I met up with our friends Christina and Jack to go to the Vancouver Aquarium's Twilight Tuesday event. A few times a year, the aquarium opens up for the evening for members, and plans a bunch of special events. I had always wanted to take Sydney, but had never gotten around to it, so was thrilled to finally be able to attend. It was fantastic!
We met for dinner before heading to the aquarium at the White Spot, which is fast becoming one of our favourite restaurants to take Syd! Sydney and Jack were so good at the restaurant, it was so cute seeing them all snuggled into a booth with their little pirate paks!
One of Sydney's favourite kid's performers, Marnie Grey, was doing a concert in the Canada's Arctic exhibit for Twilight Tuesday, what a blast! It was so fun to see all the kids singing and dancing alongside the beluga whales to Marnie's tunes! Marnie's sidekick is her mascot, Mumbu the Monkey. Sydney was talking about Mumbu from the minute she woke up this morning. I think she really loved the concert! I loved watching Sydney clapping and boogeying along to the music, it was the first time I can remember her being so into a concert!
There were craft stations and face painting stations set up throughout the aquarium too. Sydney got her hand painted, chose a very cool red octopus which she proudly showed off to everyone when she got home!
Sydney absolutely loved looking at all the fish, as always, and we especially enjoyed learning all about the babies at the aquarium which is their theme for this spring.
What a fun evening it was with Christina and Jack! Sydney was only too happy to have an excuse to stay up late and fell, blissfully exhausted, into bed when we got home. Can't wait to do it again!
