amori's birthday trip to the vancouver aquarium

on her real birthday, aldo and i took the day off to be with her - and treated her to a trip to the aquarium! at first we thought she'd be disinterested and bored in an hour or two but lo and behold, she loved the whole place and stayed alert and interested the whole afternoon!

we saw the beluga whales (which, to my surprise, are quite flabby - kind of like what your tummy looks like after giving birth LOL),





watched Spinnaker and Laverne jump really high into the air,



saw different jellyfish, anemone, fish, and a really big sea turtle!

on our way out we passed by the gift shop where amori picked out the newest member of our family, Shelley the sea turtle.





amori really is a little girl now - where did my floppy cooing baby go???
