Mermates

There's nothing quite like watching the sun rise from the ocean.
Truly awesome.
To think it happens here every morning.
Wow.

So, what is a "mermate"?

 Baby mermaids who don't have their fins yet.

Anakai, Kacia, and Cadence, playing with a mermaid barbie doll.  All 5 yrs old.

Even little mermates need to stretch their tiny fins.
Here's Kacia with her "rising sun salutations"

Happiness is... a mermama with her mermates

I'm usually behind the mama-cam, so its rare that I get snapped in a pic. 
This is courtesy of a random near by person also enjoying the beach at sunrise.
Thanks Jacquie!
