Field Trip: BC Place Stadium & BC Sports Hall of Fame

A small group of us (thanks to Jackie!) attended a tour of BC Place Stadium, and BC Sports Hall of Fame.

Learnt some amazing facts from the sweet Marianne (our BC Place Stadium host):
- BC Place holds the record for most number of seats [60,000] (and size, and a bunch of other stats) for an air-filled building in the world.

The children especially enjoyed the end of the show where we were 'blown out' of the stadium at 80km/h through one of the exit doors. The air pressure from the building naturally creates that force, and when I've edited the videos, I'll add it here.

For now, there are images below of our day in Vancouver…

Vancouver Symphony Orchestra @ Orpheum Theatre

We enjoyed a day trip to Vancouver's Orpheum Theatre, to experience an afternoon with the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra. It was their "Elementary School Concerts" event, that saw a host of traditional school children and homeschool children flock to enjoy Mozart's famous compositions. Here's a short video of the afternoon.
