Wild mustangs used to roam the North Padre Island . . . there's an ancient beach legend that mermaids will come ashore after hurricanes to sunbathe amongst the seaweed. . . I wonder if we'll find one!The Wonder Egg took its place among the other visitors to the park . . .
The sand dunes are still robust, even after the hurricane.
Oscar was sooo excited on his first walk on the beach, the first thing he wanted to do was take a drink of water . . . it was a very short one which was quickly followed by some fresh, filtered water I carried for him. (Yes, he has me trained quite well, thank you very much)
Here are some sights we found at the beach this weekend . . .
First flight of the day . . .
Wilson, Thais and Sparrow enjoying the morning waves . . .
"Come on in, Popi, the water's fine!!!!!!!"
AND
THEN
WE
FOUND
IT!
THE
RUMORS
ARE
TRUE..................................................
A REAL, LIVE, MERMAID!!!!!!!!!
I wonder how she got here . . . perhaps this is what happened . . .
"Hey Sparrow, let's fool Popi & Oscar and turn you into a mermaid . . ."
"They'll never figure it out, and the legend will live on . . ."
So that's our saga of the post hurricane beach adventure. It was a great time to visit Wilson & Thais and find the WORLD'S CUTEST LITTLE MERMAID . . . Sparrow! Looking at this picture, I'm not sure Oscar buys the whole mermaid thing . . . what do YOU think?

It is rare indeed to find a mermaid of such beauty hidden among the seaweed. Did Oscar, the "chick magnet" find the lovely Sparrow?
Is this your grand daughter? She is so cute.

Love the entrance shot of Mustang Island, that sign is very cool.
Is the Wonder Egg a Casita? from a new reader, Diana
Yeah, they did a great job on the sign. The Oliver family creates these new age, high tech, customer oriented trailers in Hohenwald, TN. While it ooks similar to a Casita, it is closer in quality to an Airstream. See more at:

Great photos, Pete ! I notice that Oscar is squinting in the bright beach sunlight. He needs his "chick magnet" sunglasses ! LOVE THE MERMAID.

I dont know if he buys it or not but maybe she only turns into a mermaid at the beach.? I hope you had the best time ever.

Very cute! Thanks for telling me about this post. Perhaps we'll find our own Florida mermaid this summer.
