We went to the Vancouver symphony, so much fun! I am definitely looking forward to going again. Nathan and Genevieve had never seen a symphony performance before, we have been to a the nutcracker before and checked out the pit, but it was much different seeing them. My only complaint was it was a little short! I think it was just over an hour, I know Nate and Gigi would have liked more. The performance was all about dance music, we learned a little about various composers thru the ages. This was great as we do look up the composers if they are listed in Nathan and Genevieve's piano music. I think Nathan and Genevieve were surprised at how many of the pieces of music the recognized.
After the vso we went walking in search of food, we ended up at the Vancouver public library. We decided to go in and check it out, they thought the building was cool, you were inside but it felt like you were outside on a street! We went in and checked out the kids section, an entire floor! Nathan and Gigi spent about 1/2 hour just wandering looking at the books. Poor Nathan thought he was going to get lost, I gave him a spot to go to if he got lost, he went there once and waited I'm sure 30 sec before he saw me, mom I was looking for you, oh were you lost :). And the resource section is the size of our library entire kids section.
We talked to the librarian and she told us the library is seven stories, and told us we should go check out the library sorter, so that's what we did.
Could you imagine working here! They all waved at Nate and Gigi who watched it seemed like forever.
So after a steamed milk from starbucks we continued our search for food, We walked a LOT! Had some food and home we came.
A very good day. And we also did math along the way.
