Yesterday was Maritime Kids Day at the Tofino Community Centre and there was all kinds of cool stuff going on. We examined some plankton through a microscope, recorded our own whale sounds into a computer using a balloon (crazy how much it really sounds like whales!), decorated whale cookies and painted some wooden fish for the Ucluelet Aquarium. This was followed by a really cool and quite magical puppet show about the migration of a Whale and her daughter. It was all extra cool but I was most amazed by the mad skills of the face painting lady. She did each kid in no more than 3 minutes using paintbrushes and sponges and her work was fantastic! I actually felt bad washing it off at the end of the day. The kids really loved it, not that you can tell by their thrilled expressions in my photo, we were dragging them back to the car and they weren't too happy about leaving.
