The Boat Parade at Ft McAllister

Finally getting around to posting some pictures of the boat parade --- it was the same night as the bridge run. What a crazy day it was. I ran my race, came home & showered, left to do the tour of homes walk-thru with all the docents, missed 2 houses so I could get home to feed & walk Ginger before meeting everyone at the dock by 5:45 for the parade. PHEW!
We had a great time on the boat. I can't believe Frank & Richie put it together Saturday afternoon. They had it covered in my Christmas lights (thank you very much,,,nothing on the trees in the front yard this year LOL) - even the outriggers were lit up. Frank used one of his old outriggers to mount Rudolph off the bow & Rich dressed in his Santa suit. For a while he stood & danced on the bow & I thought he might end up in the water. Santa was making jolly since the decorating started in the afternoon :) Of course there was the 8 ft blowup snowman up top too. Did I say we took home first place too !!!???? Pretty cool. Of course the guys are already planning next years display.

Rudolph led our "sleigh" complete with red nose & jingle bell collar
