Ship Bottom Christmas Parade

We went to the Ship Bottom Christmas Parade again!  This year, the weather was absolutely perfect - sunny and warm!





The kids collected a lot of candy canes, Swedish Fish, and salt water taffy





Sometimes there was a long lull between floats and candy...







There were no DeLoreans this year but there was a palomino horse:


And Santa closed out the parade, as usual!

Turkey Trot 2015

 On Thanksgiving morning, we ran our annual Turkey Trot at a nearby highvschool.  In past years, the mornings have been extremely cold and the course extremely muddy.  This year, however, we had a bright, mild morning and firm ground.

And we're off!  Clare stayed on her feet for the whole mile-long race and Sean RAN the whole race - and then came back to escort Clare to the finish.
