Mermaid Day Parade & Coney Island: June 2008

We took Dante to the annual Coney Island Mermaid Day parade - in the rain, of course. Beforehand, we prepped him about what a mermaid was so he could point them out, which he did "There's a mermaid, Oh, There's another mermaid" over and over again, delighting everyone in ear shot. Due to the drizzly weather, the parade wasn't as spectacular as previous years. We took Dante to the kiddie park and put him on his first solo ride - a helicoper, in the pouring rain. Nervous Abba and I thought for sure Dante wouldn't be content riding all by himself. Boy did he prove us wrong, he happily went in the helicopter and waved each time he went by us :-)
