Today I had a party for a friends 4 year old daughter and it was so much fun!! I arrived at the location 1/2 hour early so we could scout out a location to get changed and disappear too, found that and it was perfect!!! I got in the tail in less then 5 minutes, got the rest of the gear on and Henry wheeled me out to the pool. I slipped in and made my way to the lifeguards, introduced myself and we had a good laugh. The older gentleman swimming laps had to stop and watch with amazement......that made me smile!!! He was very impressed. After a nice warm up the birthday girl and family arrived!! My friend was blown away at my tail, she couldn't believe how amazing it looked. The girls jumped into the pool and sat next to me and were just in awe that I was a real mermaid. The older sister was a little skeptical, she being 8 she is getting to that almost not believing stage but still wants to. So I made sure to keep in character the whole time and never broke once! The birthday girl being 4 was a bit distracted with everything so I had the 8 year old and cousins around that age all over me!! I was fielding questions left and right and swimming, flipping, handstands, tail flops all over the place! I had one little girl who was very very into me and was a bit clingy but she was just in love with the whole thing so when it got too much I just swam away for a bit and came right back!! The parents were so amazed too, I love that Henry (merwrangler/husband) helped answer a lot of questions too, he is so wonderful I couldn't do this with out him!
When it was time for cake and me to say good bye the girls were so sad and asked where I had to go and why? I said there were so many other little girls who needed to have a big smile today and I wanted to make them smile too, they seemed to like that!!! Back in out hiding spot, out of the tail and carefully back to the truck w/o being spotted!! My friends was so happy I was able to do this for her and I was so happy to do it!!!
My story of why they might see me walking:
I was swimming around the beach one day with my sea horse, Minion, and I saw this guy and fell in love and we wanted to get married. So I talked to the king of the sea and he said that I could be granted a few hours a day to walk on land and be with the one I love if I always return back to a mermaid after a few hours! The king also said that my sea horse could have legs too, so I get to ride Minion when he gets on land too!! The kids loved it! So I think I will stick with that story!!!
