Last week, I took my son to the Vancouver Aquarium and am I going to talk about sea lions, sea otters or seals? NO! The logical animal to talk about is… the crazy squirrel. Now, I know what you are thinking… that I am squirrel happy seeing as I just put photos of them on my website. That’s just a coincidence. Let me tell you what happened.

After seeing the sharks, sea turtle ‘Scuna,’ and then the jellies, we had lunch in their cafe before seeing the 4D Movie, “15-Minute Polar Express". My son got a small cheese pizza (his favourite) and I, a burger. As it was a sunny day, I decided to eat outside. As I walked outside, I eyed a gull on a table. The Aquarium warns you about how sneaky the gulls could be. So, while eating, I was making sure that sea gull was not getting any of our food. But the aquarium never mentioned anything about the squirrels! After finishing eating, I finally noticed a couple of squirrels. One of them was moving slowly closer and closer. I was beginning to think that if it got closer I could get a great picture, so I got out my camera and very patiently waited for the perfect shot. The squirrel climbed onto the table, closer and closer, until just before I was ready to shoot, it lunged forward and when lunged back! It had a slice of pizza in its mouth - my son’s last slice of pizza, in fact! I was so shocked that I forgot to take the picture. It would have been a classic!

Before I recovered, it ran away. I wonder if he was part ninja turtle! (If you don't get that reference then I am too much of a nerd.) Come to think of it, maybe the gull and squirrel are part of a criminal conspiracy! The gull’s role is to distract while the squirrel pulls the job. Now, I’m sure they are enjoying the spoils of crime. Call #CrimeStoppers and we will ‘take a bite out of crime,’ or maybe pizza. What do think about this conspiracy? Comment below, like and share (just not my son’s pizza!).

This is the squirrel making it move as his or her part of conspiracy
