Harry Potter & The Cursed Child

This morning we slept in a little bit and then wandered downstairs for the continental breakfast. The selection was actually really nice! 

The boys each made themselves some yummy waffles.


When they were full, they begged to check out the pool, so we went and changed into swim gear and headed down for a quick dip before we left for the day.

Daddy navigated Toronto like a pro and found a nice underground parkade for us to stay at for the day. We spent the rest of the morning and afternoon walking around downtown Toronto, checking out the different sights and doing some shopping.



We found the theatre where we would be watching Harry Potter and the Cursed child later that evening. Of course we had to snap some pictures!

Mr. Stannix and I saw this play while we were in London, so we were both curious to note the similarities and differences.


 


We walked all the way to Ripley's aquarium. Mr. Stannix had been before on a layover, and was really excited to show the boys!





While stingrays scare the heck out of me when I have to swim in the same water as them, I was happy to be able to touch them from the edge of this touch pool. 




In the mid afternoon, we went in search of food. All of the walking and playing had tuckered us out and our feet desperately needed a rest! We dined in and took our time enjoying the food and each others company.

Then we wandered a few blocks away to a huge mall and explored it top to bottom. We did some shopping (note Joe's new sunglasses) and grabbed a small snack before we made our way to the theatre.




The boys enjoyed the play for the most part, but were also pretty pooped out from our adventures that day. I think one or both of them ended up falling asleep in their chair about 3/4 of the way through. It was fun to watch it again though, and the boys were pretty impressed with the live magic! We all plopped into our beds exhausted at nights end.
