Every 4th of July at my parents house on the lake there is a boat parade. Anyone can enter and it is free! All they ask is that you pick a theme and decorate your boat. It has to be very visible as the parade starts at 9PM and continues until about 10:30PM so you also need to have a lighted theme! The kids LOVE this and look forward to it every year! They are almost as obsessed as my little sister and myself! It is so much fun and I love that we are making memories and traditions!
The theme we chose this year was construction site! It was the easiest to do yet!!! With the help of that orange plastic used at construction sites it was sooo easy too!
Here is a view of the completed boat from the neighbors house!
Zoomed in a little...
Me and my nephew with a little wave in the back from my niece!
And finally, the view from on the boat! It was soo much fun and I hope the kids cherish these memories when they get older as much as I do!
The previous years pics are below...
Last year - 2017...I think this is everyone's favorite so far!! The shower looked so realistic! We played the songs Rubby Ducky and Splish-Splash the whole time! HAHA!
2016...We played the song Jailhouse Rock the whole time.
and our first year 2015..We had all kinds of Caribbean music playing and the kids and I tried to hula the whole time - HA HA!
Hopefully we will have many more years of this awesome fun!!!
Anyone else ever decorated a boat for a parade? How do you make memories that last for your family? Any cool traditions you have for you family?
Thanks everyone for reading and being a part of my life! Hugs to you all! I am also joining in on Welcome Wednesday!
