We have spent the last few weeks with my parents, at their home in Florida. My mother loves all things ocean. So, it is no surprise that her favorite Disney movie is "Finding Nemo." She has been watching it with Collin almost everyday since we got here (not in its entirety of course since my two-year-old doesn't have that long of an attention span). Needless to say, at this point, he loves Dory, Nemo and Nemo's Daddy. Thus, our trip to the aquarium took on a whole new meaning as he desperately searched for Nemo. If you look closely enough at the first picture, you see he found him :)
Collin loves the aquarium. He went from tank to tank singing, "just keep swimming. just keep swimming." I think the blowfish enjoyed the song. He followed Collin all along the wall of the tank. I'm not sure what Collin would have done though if the blowfish had actually "blown up." It was amazing though how accurate the Nemo movie is. Collin was able to point out each fish. There was a tank of sea anenomes with little clown fish hiding in them. It really was incredible, and even more so to see it through the eyes of an ever amazed toddler.
We topped off the day at the toddler splash park the aquarium has. It's perfect, and the most genius idea. With no standing water, children can run through misting water that comes out of every step, corner and plank. Then there are water guns (think cannon:), water spouts, water slides. Everything perfectly sized for the little guys. Though Collin is a little wary of shooting, falling, misting or splashing water - he loved it. Once he ralized the fountains wouldn't hurt he was jumping on each one, laughing. What a great day!!
