The Friday after Thanksgiving, we went up to Barnegat Light to see Santa arrive by boat! We went in 2011 when Clare was a baby but we had to skip last year due to Hurricane Sandy clean-up. Santa was ready to come back this year and the kids were ready, too!
Santa arrives with Mrs. Claus:
After disembarking from the Coast Guard boat, Santa walked up the boat ramp, shaking hands and taking pictures. Then he hopped into a firetruck and was driven a short way down the street where he helped light the Barnegat Light's First Aid Squad tree:
And then the whole group sang Christmas carols with Santa:
After the lighting and singing, the crowd headed over to the First Aid Squad building to get a chance to sit on Santa's lap. We went over to the fire truck to see what we could see...
And Sean got to sit in the driver's seat!
We skipped the line to see Santa since we'll be seeing him again soon...
