The Black Thorn Mermaids were at the Living Planet Aquarium today! We arranged it 2 - 3 weeks ago with all the managers and employers, and staff was looking forward to having us come... and we had so much fun when we finally did! Passing out bracelets, magic rocks, and beautiful seashells. Taking pictures with staff and children alike. A lot of kids were in awe of the mermaids on exhibit at the Aquarium, though some were scared of us!
Each child was a precious joy. One said "you're not real," so our Mertender said "what if I show you a picture of one of them underwater, then would you believe?" They said yes, so Captain Gawain showed them said picture and they became an instant believer. So funny!
One little girl kept coming back to us, handing Thalassa back her bracelet, then would come back for it later. Another took her shoes and socks off, rebelling against foot-covers! What cute little toes. Each one was a joy, even sitting in our laps to visit.
All of the staff absolutely loved having mermaids visit them, and begged to know if we were going to be coming back, hoping that we would. Well, we each have memberships and love to support our local Aquarium, and during the winter we will be making monthly visits back to them! We will bring books to gather the children around to read to, more wearable and keepsake trinkets, and a secret surprise!
We were asked to leave a bunch of business cards with them, and will be offered to Aquarium birthday bash guests as an option! Birthday guests will get a special surprise from us, as well as treasure hunts and craft hour, and of course reading a book or two if they wish!
During the winter we will be making monthly visits. In the summer time we will make either bi-monthly or weekly visits. All appearances will be on Saturdays!
Thank you Living Planet Aquarium for having us at your wonderful Aquarium, we look forward to many more visits and interactions!
