Saturday night, we were invited to head down to Marina Del Rey and watch the annual Boat Parade on Camilla's parents' boat. It was a great time with lots of yummy food, four toddlers running around and some pretty decked out boats!
We were worried that rain and wind would call off the parade this year (like last year!), and in fact, it felt a bit disorganized and like some people may have bowed out b/c of those worries, but there were still a lot of boats lit up for the occasion. Some were VERY high-tech, including one that had a program going where the lights were blinking in time with the music it was playing. Chris said they were playing the Trans-Siberian Orchestra... whatever. A couple of other boats were decorated like sleighs, and a couple were pulling their
dinghies behind them with a lit snowman or Santa Claus on them. Very fun! The kids were excited by them for a bit, before they took to running back and forth along the boat and trying to tackle each other. I managed to avoid most of that mayhem and stood at the front of the boat absorbing all the Xmas cheer!
