We made it down to the festival of lights parade in montesano, Washington, again this year. We had a lot of fun, as we always do, and we got to visit with family.
I was really glad to see the Noel lights again!

Are cousins went all out on their shop, like they always seem to do! I heard that they won the business contest again this year.

The parade is one of the favorite parts of our Christmas tradition!


The parade is pretty awesome. Some of the floats are quite stunning! A lot of work went into those things, and a lot of them are unique each and every year.


At about the middle of the parade the fog rolled in, adding a cool effect to the Christmas lights!


Some of the floats were quite unique and interesting. You have to wonder at the backstory on this guy!





The theme this year was huval, and there was as you would expect a large number of grinches in the parade!


The cement truck, and the fire truck, always crowd favorites, did not disappoint!




Santa road in on the ladder truck, and as always, the tractor hold in the you logged in the parade.
