We have ventured outside this weekend
and we choose to dive into a fairly close attraction, Underwater World.
The drive was great, although we woke up a bit late as we had both been out for drinks the night before. Trust Kai to be happy in his cot on this occasion. He travels quite well now as long as we have food, drinks, books, a steering wheel of his own, baby einstein on a mobile phone and the gentle, soothing monotones of his parents.
We really want Kai to see and experience everything so going to U.W.W. seemed like a great idea and chance to get Kai away from his vehicular fascination, little did we realize...
What the hell!!! We thought this was going to be all fish and stuff and the first thing Kai see's is a massive car. Oh sure, it's an "Aquarium", but that didn't stop Kai from wanting to go for a scuba drive.Anyway, Kai seemed to take it all in and was really calm. He liked all the colors. And wasn't worried by the apparent closeness of all the sea creatures.
The sharks made an impression. He just kept saying their name for awhile, probably because we said it so much (there were quite a few). When we went through the tunnel, a massive stingray loomed across the top and Kai just pointed. No worries.
He loved getting up close and personal with anything. Which is great when it's the otter enclosure, but not so great when there are crocodiles, swordfish and little fingers involved.
While the statues show a pretty lively couple of otters, the real ones were sound asleep. But it was that or the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Show. Actually we forgot to go to it. I was devastated. I've got donatello in a box somewhere.
Kai loved the seals. He watched them first in one of those shows, but was completely taken aback when we went down and watched them through the glass. He liked the way they swam past the glass again and again. He kept saying "more". He got a fright though when one seal swam up really close to him without him seeing it happen. The seal stayed there for ages and Kai was besotted.
We thoroughly enjoyed every moment of it.
We can't wait to go back.
Wishing you all a Happy Easter.
