Blue raspberry cotton candy

Momo-chan saw some people having cotton candy and found the wagon that sells them. He was so happy getting this big cotton candy. There were flavors like pink vanilla, apple, cherry and Momo-chan picked blue raspberry. It didn't taste much of raspberry but he enjoyed it. 

Very long queue at Stanley Park

This was the line to buy tickets for Easter activities such as egg hunt and Easter train. The queue was just too long, Momo-chan and Pinga decided to go to the aquarium instead. Momo-chan has chocolate in his mouth that's why his cheek is popped like this.

Egg shaker

Another thing she made was these shakers. There are red beans and rice inside so they make noise when they shake. As Pinga suspected, QP-chan started to peel the tape and opened the egg by the time they got home. Coco-chan did the same.

Easter craft time

Pinga was at her friend's place decorating egg like this. Twins fell asleep just before arriving so she had a calm moment with other moms.

Momo-chan turned right today. They celebrated with a cake. Momo-chan didn't like the NY style cheesecake a lot though. 

Happy hour with Momo-chan

Momo-chan likes mussels dish at this restaurant. So Momo-chan and Pinga went for happy hour. Because of the periodontal surgery on Wednesday Pinga couldn't drink but she enjoyed quality time with Momo-chan. He was happy with the mussels and he wanted to order another one. 

Music event

After the office visit, they came to this music event called Hear it live at Robson and Howe. It was close to 4pm but twins still didn't fall asleep. 

Foosball for the first time

They took a walk and visited Pinga's work. There was a foosball table and off course Momo-chan wanted to play. He was playing with Pinga's colleague and twins joined a bit too. 

Japanese noodle lunch

Momo-chan went to visit his friend for lunch so they came back and had some lunch. Twins ate soumen with egg and furikake well. 

Cookie decoration

As usual, there was a station to decorate cookies. Today's cookies were egg shaped. Here's Coco-chan about to put on some more stuff on his cookie. They were OK with decorating but not interested at eating them.

Sunny day

It was very rainy yesterday but today, it was sunny like this and you could see Noth Vancouver. Pinga got to walk more today as she had periodontic surgery in the afternoon. It was a minor surgery but she needs to ice every hour, no hot drinks, no alcohol and no exercise for a week.

Mini Husky Evy

Here is the second dog at Pinga's work. Evy is very protective and does not like new people. After two weeks, she is finally fine with Pinga and stopped barking.

Skiing in Whistler

It was cloudy but not very many people and good skiing. Pinga was feeling very cold in her hands and toes though.
