Boat parade (for real this time)

Sunday was boat parade day. Well Sunday night would be, and we were sure this time. We decided to hit a few garage sales in the morning. We found nothing we wanted except for a artificial tree. We bought it and brought it home. It was quite a bit taller than our old one. It is about 6 feet tall and our old one was 3 feet tall..
Our old Christmas tree
Our new and improved Christmas tree

We just lounged around until 6, then headed down to the water to watch the parade. We immediately noticed a fairly large crowd as we pulled into the park. We found our area we wanted to sit and opened our chairs and sat down.
Looking at Bonnie, you would think it was cold out

This was the temp, Her blood is thinning out from lack of real coldness

Here come the boats...
Yo ho ho, and a bottle of rum

Where is the rest of the parade?

there they are!

Just kidding.....
It was about an hour and a half until we could see the lights of the boats coming. The crowd murmured with anticipation....here are some pics and some videos.
slow down buster!

Deck the deck with ball of holly

that is a real airplane on that boat

Monday was laundry day....You know the grind....

Tuesday was picking up Denae (Bonnies daughter) day from the airport. She is staying until after Christmas while I am up in Iowa visiting the family.
I took this video as she came off the plane.

Gotta go...
