Night on the Seven Seas

Okay, not really...but we were on a boat!! Last week we took the kids out on a Harbor Cruise to see some Christmas lights. The residents decorate the backs of their homes with lights and decorations. And boy do they go all out!!! There were surfing Santas, palm trees covered with lights, and huge nativity scenes. Not to mention the homes looked like hotels! The boys kept asking, "Is that one a hotel?". When we'd answer no they'd give out a little "ohhh" in amazement!

The way it's set up, we park and take a bus over to the harbor. Sara was screaming 'school bus' over and over, she was so excited! We see buses each morning when we drop Iain off at school, so to ride on one was huge for her! She loved it! Luckily for us she loved the boat too! She held on to the edge and stared out at all the lights!! She would call out "nanta" (santa) and "noman" (snowman) each time she saw one, which was alot! After about 30 minutes she was getting bored and wanted a change of scenery. Luckily it was only a 40 minute cruise!!

This was Santa getting barreled! Who knew Santa could surf!! The wave is wire wrapped with blue lights, then Santa is riding a longboard in the middle with a lei around his neck. If you look really close (really, really close) you can see the reflection of the longboard as well as the lei.
