We spent our second day in Stanley Park. It is absolutely beautiful, and huge. The kids enjoyed playing in little "caves" made by gigantic rhododendrons. Here's Helene peeking out from one.
This is a picture of the kids inside one of the rhododendron caves. I could stand inside at full height, too.
After lunch, we met John (who had been in SCA conferences all morning) at the aquarium, in the middle of Stanley Park. John had run into some old friends of ours from Houston, Anna and Ilia, at the conference, so they joined us at the aquarium (more about them on Day 3).
A baby beluga whale was born just 8 days ago at the aquarium. She was being carefully observed and her feeding times were being monitored, as well as the length of time she was separated from her mother while swimming independently. We could only go to this nursery to observe her in small groups, and we had to be quiet and take no flash photography while there.
