Our first time to Underwater World was a rainy day last spring, and Carter loved it! I was a bit disappointed at how short the walk through was in comparison to the price for admission, but Kyle recently found out that he gets 1/2 off tickets through work, so we decided to give it another shot.
It seems that sometime between last spring and today, Carter has developed a fear of sharks -- he did not have quite as much fun this time around. Whenever I stopped his stroller so we could take a closer look, he said: "mommy, keep pushing me". At one point, he asked me to hold him, and every time a shark swam overhead, he held onto me for dear life! Poor kid! Towards the end of the tunnel we discovered the little tanks filled with sea lions and he really liked those -- not a totally wasted trip afterall! :)
Once we were through with Underwater World, we were off to Nick Universe. Carter is still a bit small for the rides but he loves just walking around and checking things out. Now that he knows who The Backyardigans, and Dora & Diego are, he loves seeing the full-size versions of them throughout the theme park.
It was definitely a fun day out for him and I am sure we will have many more in the future!

Checking-out the sea horses
Loosening up!
Checking out the starfish
Learning all about the starfish
Cool turtle
This is the least freaked out he looked in such close proximity to a shark
"Look Mom, I found Dora and Boots!"
By the smile on his face, you can tell how excited he was to see Dora, Boots & Diego!
He found The Backyardigans, too, and was chatting away with them
This was the only "ride" Carter was tall enough to go on -- he didn't even care that I didn't have quarters to get it moving :)
