Christmas Ships

Abby is always up for fun and tonight was no exception. It was the annual Christmas Ships parade. Every Christmas two fleets of ships decorate their ships and follow a parade route along the Oregon side of the river and then come back along the Washington side of the river.


Abby was very well behaved tonight and that made it more fun as we bundled the kids up, made some hot chocolate, threw blankets and chairs in the van and headed for Pixie Park. We got good seats and Abby sat contentedly sipping her hot chocolate patiently waiting for the parade while Ryan fidgeted and fussed a bit.


It was difficult getting pictures, but I managed to get a few to give you an idea of what it was like. For some reason, Abby's favorite ship was the Co-Ho-Ho ship (gotta love Pacific Northwest humor). I think my favorite was the paddle boat, though they were all pretty neat.
