Mascots on Ice

After dance class, we met my mom and sister and headed downtown to catch the Olympic mascots skating at Robson Square. It was super busy and we couldn't get a spot right up by the ice - as you can see from my pictures, the crowd was pretty big. We decided to stand on one of the stairways so we could see over the crowd and got a decent view of the show.

Miga - the part orca (killer whale) and part Kermode bear is one of Holly's two favourites. The Kermode bear (also known as a spirit bear) is a rare white bear that is unique to BC and is a sub-species of the black bear.














Quatchi, the sasquatch, dreams of becoming a world-famous hockey goalie.















Sumi (my favourite), is the official mascot of the Paralympic Games and is part thunderbird and part black bear (and he wears the hat of the orca).















In this picture you can see a pink and white toque - that's Holly being lifted up by my mom so she can see the mascots!
