Underwater World is for big boys...

Pierce and mommy get to play on Mondays (Pierce only goes to school from Tu - Fri) so one of the past Mondays we went to Underwater World on Sentosa... the last time we went was 2 years ago so we thought it was time to check it out again.  Not a lot has changed but since Pierce did not remember going when he was a 'baby' he was happy to go as a 'big boy'... and we did have a good time.

There are some pics of Pierce and some pics of amazing creatures...


Not sure if you can see these... but there are 2 eels... one was still with his mouth open and the other one was swimming like mad...

There were lots of exhibits where Pierce could reach in and touch the fish... he is one of them... they came to his hand like he had food...


Not a great picture of this awesome octopus but you get the idea of how big he was and see his eye... a little creepy.

This crab is so big (you can't really tell here) but when stretched he is taller than I...





You could see through this sharks nose... wow...


The next picture was probably my favorite exhibit... they had several gestational periods labeled for a shark baby... and they were alive... and look really close but a small shark is inside the 7 - 9 weeks and after 1 weeks sac and they were swimming around... it was really cool to see and then the shark in the bottom is a new baby (outside the sac)... really cool...

The last thing we did before heading to the dolphin show was to feed the sting ray... Pierce was so excited and not scared at all.. I think I did more screaming than he... these huge fish would slide out of the water and would come up all the way to this elbow and take the food that was in between his fingers...

I had brought my underwater camera and this was the first opportunity I got to take a shot under water... beautiful creature...


ready for the dolphin show... it was hot and sunny but we were excited to see it...


A great Monday together... the only thing that would have made it better is if Daddy would have been with us...

I think mommy enjoyed the day as much as Pierce. What great pictures.

Your underwater shot is awesome! I don't understand how the shark thing works...how do they keep them alive? I have so many questions.
