Marine World

We took Aiden to Marine World for the first time last weekend. I had never been either so I wasn't sure what to expect. Man, that place has everything! Kiddie rides, roller coasters, carnival style games, a water park, a food court that backs up to a nice lake and green area, real zoo animals and even a butterfly house and elephant rides (I know - real elephant rides!). And to top in all off, it wasn't even very busy. Needless to say, we all had a really great time. We checked out a lot of the animals and animal shows, had lunch alongside the lake, and Erik & I even took turns whipping through a few empty lines to ride some coasters. Aiden really enjoyed the fact that we bravely let him run around the park out of his stroller. And we really enjoyed the fact that he didn't take it as an opportunity to bolt into a crowd of people, never to be seen again.

Aiden would point to all of the tigers and cougars etc. and say, "Ctt". We'd say, "That's right, those are BIG cats!"
