Energy level: 3/10.
Approx. cost: $25 for Skytrain and lunch.
Every time the boys and I go out for an adventure we have a good time, but sometimes getting the home-bodies out the door can be a challenge. I wanted to get us downtown to the Vancouver Art Gallery to see the latest exhibit so I made up an activity sheet and handed it to them.
Thing One (8) is a very proficient reader and was immediately intrigued. Thing Two (6) can't yet read but got excited when I read the various items to him. Once he had heard the activities, he rushed to get his shoes.
It was a ten minute walk down the hill to the Skytrain station to begin our adventure. We usually take the Skytrain for our adventures in downtown Vancouver. It's much faster than driving (25 minutes vs. 45 minutes by car) and the train is so much more exciting.
The boys added a few items to the list. The tape holds the lucky penny and the feather.
PS As any reader of Captain Underpants knows, anything sounds better if you append "2000" or "3000" to the name. Adding "of doom" to the end usually works well too.
We flashed our art gallery membership cards and breezed in to see the exhibit.
