While looking on the internet for things to do before we left England we came across the website for Sea Life. That's where we discovered that the two main characters from the show THE OCTONAUTS were going to be there. Alyssa and Asher have been crazy for this show the moment we moved here. AJ was able to take Friday off and we drove down there to meet them. A little girl in our car could NOT wait to get there an meet Kwazii and Captain Barnacles (oh and see all the fish too).
Starting the aquarium tour looking at some fish in a mini tide pool.
The shark aquarium. Asher was very into this...
Still there. We had to bribe him to leave the sharks. It was cute though, every time a shark swam by him on the side he was not looking he would jump a little. See the shark behind him, two seconds later he jumped. But still we looked and looked and LOOKED.
Do you think we found his passion? I can see him in a little scuba outfit. I think if we left him and came back a couple hours later he would have still been there.
Alyssa got to relax a little while as well.
Oh boy, the big shark tank. Asher was in love once again. The only thing that got us through faster was half of it was the see through floor and he was not a fan of that. Every time he took a step he acted as if he was going to fall.
THE BIG MOMENT!
First we got to meet Kwazii. He is a pirate cat and Alyssa went right up to him and gave him a hug. Later on Asher came to meet him but he wasn't so sure. Alyssa helped out buy introducing Asher to him. It was such a big sister thing to do.
Actually Asher wasn't scared of him and kept talking to him but didn't feel up to a hug. Here is a good shot of the three of us. Asher gave him a high-5 at the end.
Next was Captain Barnacles, the polar bear. Once again, Alyssa was very excited and gave him a big hug. Asher gave out high-5's and was excited to see him. It was a great day!
