The Vancouver Aquarium says although the facility was closed Tuesday and Wednesday because of the snow, it seems the aquarium’s residents are “having a great time” in the frosty weather.

In an email, a spokesperson with the aquarium says that while some locals in Metro Vancouver took a “snow day” on Tuesday, two resident sea lions, named Rogue and Natoa, also had their share of the white flakes.

A video shows the pair seemingly looking around at the snow in wonder.

While another also shows Rouge and her pup appearing to share a kiss.

In a tweet, a video depicts Rouge having a fun time sliding down a snow-covered area of the enclosure.
