Mermaids and Sea Monsters
Posted on Mar 12th, 2009 by Allison (Family/Friends, Travel)

Simulation of a whale breachToday’s pictoral essay is about sea maidens and sea monsters. 

I happen to fall into both categories with this shot….  a sea maiden (sea wench?) creating a simulation of a whale breach. 

We actually have seen whales off shore – but no full breaches yet.  Except by me, in the pool.
 
Snorkle Monster 
J’Neil was attacked by a terrifying snorkle monster at Anini Beach.

And a 6 eyed sea monster tried sneaking up on Ashley in the pool.

Ashley the mermaid has sprouted legsAshley the mermaid rejoices upon discovering she has legs. Heretofore, she had been bound to the watery depths by her fins.  

Isn’t magic wonderful?

Side note: I’d like to be able to believe it was magic that created her toned body, & that I could get some of that magic for myself… but alas, it is not magic, but hard work.  Like pilates at the beach.

I think I’ll go eat another chocolate covered macadamia nut.

Kristin and the waterfallKristin the mermaid is enjoying playing in the falls.

Some lovely water ballet performed by J’Neil and Kristin.

Oh how I wish I were there with you! What fun, keep those pictures coming.

SO funny!! I love my sea monster mother, and my mother in any type or form. I must say, I’m impressed by myself for that form in “water ballet”


Allison on March 12th, 2009 at 4:56 pm

Yes, Kristin makes an excellent 6-eyes sea monster…. :)


Ashley Rae on March 12th, 2009 at 5:03 pm

LOL… great post. The sea monsters are the best part :)

And J’Neil- you have very excellent form. You should take up ballet.

I love the picture book.I wonder what tomorrows adventure will be? So entertaining. Will you ask Ashley if there is a particular Winsor DVD she likes? There are so many to choose from.
