I am the Walrus… hello!

I’ll list our menu for the trip in NY real soon and will upload photos of our Halloween costumes, too, but meanwhile, let’s mix it up with something different…

Frank had the week off, after our trip, so we used that time off for a short trip to Quebec city’s Aquarium. It’s not the greatest aquarium out there (too much local fauna, we thought… and the St.Lawrence river doesn’t have colourful fish!), but we still recommend it for a family visit. They have seals, polar bears and walruses on site, so this part (outside) was real nice. We loved the walruses, which tank had a glass side for observation. There weren’t many visitors when we went, either, which was great.

So here are two walrus (and Xavier) videos. There’s also pictures in the album with our summer activities 2008 (not the right season, I know, but there’s one too many albums in our Picasaweb space, I’m trying to group stuff). It starts with the picture below. Happy viewing!

    That kind of exposure for the kids at that age is just great. Whenever my mother takes the wee ones for an afternoon or overnight, she normally takes them to the zoo, or the museum, or the equestrian centre. She’s much better at inculcating that sort of culture than we are. Which is nice.
