Ariel's Sister

We took the crazies to see some fish and a mermaid!

We got there a bit early, so we just relaxed and watched the fish.
I love watching fish, it is so calming.
The girls won't get close to the wall, they are scared.
Go figure, right!?!
I try to get them close to it and they push me away and start to whine.
I just give up and let myself enjoy it.
(Warning...My camera takes crappy aquarium photos.)



Finally the mermaid came into the water.


The girls were so excited.





She had air lines that she kept with her and the girls asked why she was breathing with it. They were confused because of course mermaids don't need air in the water! Dan explained that the water she is in isn't the ocean water that she breathes, so she breathes through the hose that has ocean water in it. Clever. They were happy with that answer and enjoyed watching her.
There was a diver in the water that terrified Ty. Anytime that he came around, she would start crying and run to me and then hide herself.


After we left they said that the mermaid wasn't Ariel because she didn't have red hair, so she had to be Ariel's sister.
Maybe we will go some other time and see another one of Ariel's sisters.
