Kickin’ it with the Carnies

On Saturday, Reagan finally got her wish, and I was able to kill 2 birds with one stone. She has been begging for me to take her to Coney Island forever, and she has been wanting to go to the Mermaid Parade forever. The weather could not have been more pristine, for the event. It was mid-80s, sunny and a bit of a breeze. We got to Coney Island a couple of hours before the parade started, so we got some food and took a ride on the Wonder Wheel. We were going to hit the cylcone too, but timing was getting tight, and we wanted to get some good position near the start of the parade. We wanted to see as much as possible, and still leave a bit early to make it to our friends’ party. We got an awesome spot right on the boardwalk and saw probably 3/4 of the parade. It was pretty crazy. Reagan was loving it. She is already making plans to be in it next year. I’m having some reservations about those plans. I’m not sure that the parade is something that is good to be associated with. Anyway, go here if you want to see the pictures.
