I think it's important to make those connections -- it helps build a sense of place in kids. (And also in blog readers!) The manatee thing sounds a bit scary because they ARE so big -- but in retrospect, what a cool adventure that must have been! Those pictures with the props are HILARIOUS.Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-50328765900575864692018-03-17T22:11:50.018-04:002018-03-17T22:11:50.018-04:00Thought you would enjoy the attached article about...Thought you would enjoy the attached article about the magical mermaids of Weeki Wachi! http://www.messynessychic.com/2017/03/24/forgotten-glamour-at-mermaid-city/Sarannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00832188974362073227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-6263297175885973282018-03-17T15:03:57.668-04:002018-03-17T15:03:57.668-04:00What a magnificently told story of your glorious j...What a magnificently told story of your glorious journey ~ it's impossible to pick a favorite, but the pics of all the Moonkids in mermaid regalia were stunning!

I think I got one but whatever happened to it is lost in the mists of time.ellen abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535475792150335186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-67458075979623000892018-03-17T01:29:26.645-04:002018-03-17T01:29:26.645-04:00Rebecca said it perfectly.

These are the experiences that will bond the cousins so closely to one another and to you and boppy. The mermaids look ethereal and otherworldly.
