Vacation 2009-Waterfront Aquarium, Cape Town

Beautiful penguines completed the list of major charactors in the animated film, Madagascar for the kids. They were all excited to have seen everyone in the film, and they were assured that the fiction was in fact a true fact! It was kids' grandmother, Dorothy's birthday, so kids made beautiful cards at the kiddie center. Happy birthday to the four August beauties, Dorothy, Leo, Martin Karl, and JB! We spent the whole day at the aquarium, and they just couldn't get enough of it. Long live the civilization! Then we had a romantic high class seafood resto reserved for dinner by a lovely quay with all the shiny boats that evening to extend the perfect day little longer. Kids were happy, and they ordered chicken nuggets and sushi platter. By the time the food arrived, the story was rapidly turning to another thing though. Kids were way too tired from the aquarium. Leo had to wonder around the table constantly knocking on the wine bucket, and Laiyane threw up next to the table. They slept in our arms while we gobbled down the food and the wine at the candle lit table. We left big tips to the waitress for all that clean-ups, and rushed out the door to put the kids in bed. Oneday we may come back to this very restaurant, and we may laugh thinking about the whole thing. What an extraordinary day we had.
