SB: Day 4...St. Patty's Day Parade with 1000 Santas

Beware of many, many, many pictures of multiple santas. Some, even, from different nations. I hope I don't bore you, but I do hope you enjoy seeing all we saw. This is the beginning of the parade.


Horse drawn wagon.
Notice even some of the pictures have elves and Mrs. Claus'.

Santa with reindeer (caribou).

Notice Santa headed straight for my kids? He gave them each some bubblegum.
Musical Santas and Mrs. Claus'.
We actually met this Santa two days before the parade at a Mexican restaurant. He came over to our table after he paid his check and spoke with our kids for a few minutes. It was really cool. There were 3 other santas in that restaurant that we talked with while waiting to be seated. The kids were in shock at all the santas. Even Ella, who screamed at having to sit in his lap at Christmas, seemed to enjoy all the Santas. She even flirted with a few of them.
Race car Santa.
Segway Santa and Mrs. Claus.

Trolley full of Santas.
Father Christmas coming to greet my kids.
The tallest Santa ever!
Another Santa coming to greet my kids. This was so COOL!
Mrs. Claus handing out candy or trinkets to my kids.


These last few pictures are some of my favorites. This is the most elaborate sleigh I've ever seen. Scroll down carefully and notice that in the first picture it's just a sleigh on wheels.
Now, notice the jet engine coming up from behind.

Now, notice the sleigh lift on hydraulics.
While it was lifted off the ground, it made a 360-degree turn. Once it went full circle, the hydraulics came back down, the jet engine revved up, and the sleigh took off. It was the coolest thing ever.
