Ship Bottom Christmas Parade

Boy, do we love parades!  Even crummy weather can't keep us from enjoying a parade so on a dreary, rainy Saturday a couple of weeks ago, we went out to LBI to see the Ship Bottom Christmas Parade!  We got to Mom-Mom Jackie's house (which is where the staging area for the parade is) just as the parade was about to begin - so we hurried on out to our usual spot...



and the kids were ready to cheer "Merry Christmas" at the top of their lungs at every float and group!


They were so excited to see the Coast Guard!


And the kids liked the bagpipes!

The Shriners were there in their little cars but the DeLoreans were not - oh well!  Maybe DeLoreans can't be out in the rain?


Of course, the kids got plenty of candy canes and salt water taffy...


And Aunt-Aunt Alice brought out some cookies!




Mommy and "Baby" Clare:

And of course, Santa Claus rode by on the final "float"!
