Today we are at the Vancouver aquarium.  These are some of the animals we saw.  First we saw parrots,

piranhas,

catfish,

a huge fish- an Arapaina, the biggest freshwater fish in the world

- bats and snakes.  Then we saw the jellyfish room with big and small ones. 

 these ones were super tiny

 these ones were really big

We saw sharks and manta rays,

electric eels, garden eels,

an octopus,

crabs and little lobsters, and pipe fish.  We also saw turtles, starfish,

beluga whales

lion fish, angel fish, sea horses, sea cucumbers,

harbour seals, sea otters, frogs, and tadpoles. 

And now for something real cool.  We saw a dolphin show!!!!  The boy was named Spinnaker, and he was the biggest.  There were also two girls, one was named Hannah, and I forget the other one. 

The dolphins jumped out of the water very high and other times landed on their back making a big splash.  They would do a whole bunch of different tricks, like rollover, shake their head and swim very fast.  Hannah even did three big jumps in a row! 

Here's funny part.  When one of the trainers threw some fish in, there was a seagull nearby who dived in for the food.  There was a big fight underwater.  The seagull was trying to get the fish and so were the dolphins.  I saw a big bubble underwater but the seagull did not die, just ran out of breath.  He came out with a red leg cause the dolphin bit him going for the food.  The dolphin did get the food. 

The show wasn't very long but it as very cool.  After the show we went and saw frogs like red-eyed tree frogs, blue jeans frogs, toads, poisonous frogs, and many others. 

Then we went to the gift shop and Oscar bought a stuffed Tiger shark and I bought a stuffed Spinner Dolphin.  That was the end of the aquarium.  We drove to Mom's uncle's house for supper.  I got to play with Lego and I built a car and attached to the top a piece of flat lego and then under that I built a camper.  After that we went to Aunty Barb's house and went to bed.
