We finally made it out to the Vancouver aquarium in Stanley Park three weeks ago Sunday. We had a great time wandering around all of the exhibits. We even made the dolphin show, the otter feeding time, the frog feeding time, and the shark feeding time. And did I mention we saw a sloth actually moving!? Jason was particularly impressed by the feel of sea anemone tentacles in the touch tide-pool while my favorites were the sea otters, of course. Even saw a Hedgehog Amphipod. It was great way to spend a semi-rainy afternoon. We wandered into downtown on the way home and had crepes at that place we had passed a million times but never stopped at. Bananas and dark chocolate, mmmm. Here are a few videos from our visit.
First, Jason at the entryway
Watch out for Canadian eelpouts and giant sea anemones!
Jason is a walrus?

New Year Resolutions
Happy New Year from us! We have started off strong in 2010 with all of our favorite college football teams winning and the first work week of the year almost over. My New Year's resolutions are:
1. Get back on the diet. It is not really a diet in the sense of weight loss, but a diet in the sense of eating fresh fruit and veggies, homemade dinners, breads, and desserts, and less meat peppered with fewer yummy dinners-out. We're starting off by trying not to eat meat for the next 30 days. We are on day 4 and counting! Hedgehog Guy says the mystery meat on the sandwich at the luncheon today does not count. We really don't know what that was...
2. Exercise more. The bridge over the Fraser River is right there. Why can't I just go run over it? Motivation needed. So, that sounds like a reason to go shopping for a new "goal" outfit?
3. Plan a vacation. Preferably our vacation. A real one. Desperately needed. Some place that takes dogs.
4. Share more. Share more homebrew beer and recipes. Share more pictures and stories on the blog. Share more fun with family and friends. Our sharing starts with sharing Hedgehog Dog's ultra-cuteness with you.
Happy New Year!
