Homosassa Christmas Boat Parade

Were you at the boat parade?  Seems like at least half of Citrus County were lined up in front of the boat ramp, the other half probably went to Crystal River for their boat parade.

Lots of Christmas scenes on display.

Here we have a little smoke going up the chimney and Santa with his reindeer.

This boat had it’s own rhythm band of elves.

Seagrass Pub’s entry probably got the most applause with their salute to the military.

There were a lot of other entries and it was a great evening.  Didn’t hurt that it was about 70 degrees and the Shed had the band “The Mighty Past Tense” performing.

Our next big outing will be the Christmas light show at the Homosassa Springs State Wildlife Park–one of our annual events.  If you’re in the area, it’s well worth attending.

Happy Birthday Piper!

At our house we celebrate birthdays.  Actually we look for any excuse to have a party but birthdays are at the top of the list.  Piper’s birthday is this Sunday and Addy’s was on the 5th.  Since all the little grandkids were here for a few days, we decided to have a birthday party for all of them!

If you are lucky enough to be here for your party, you get to make your own cake…….
