The Mystic Holiday Boat Parade

Sean, Connor, My sister Lauren and I all went to the Mystic Holiday boat parade this evening. I figured it was a great way to kick off the holiday season....Sean and Connor did not share this same sentiment.

The boat parade festivities consist of a tree lighting and then a parade of decorated boats through downtown Mystic. Sean was very excited by the countdown and tree lighting. I think he thought all the cheering was for him and made a mad dash for the tree as soon as he could wriggle away from me. I caught him just in time before he pulled off an entire string of lights.

The boat parade was very cool. The horn on the tugboat was a little scary for Sean but we pushed through. All in all it was a very good time but as with any activity these days it was alot of work. We managed to make it through a blowout diaper, Sean running this way and that all over the waterfront and then crying from both boys when they had had enough.

"Can someone please take me home now, or at least take off this stupid hat?"
