The Nautical Santa!

 

If He Only Knew How Lucky He Was...

 

 

 

Hampton Yacht Club does a lot of great things for the younger members over the year, one of which is  Breakfast with Santa.  Of course, this is our first experience with the event but we made sure to take advantage.  Santa arrives by boat from the North Pole to the dock at the club and is then transported home in the same manner.  We were very lucky in that our very good friend, "Uncle Dave", was the one who volunteered his boat and time to deliver Santa and Mrs. Clause.  We watched Santa come in to the docks and enter the club where he let every child tell them their wishes.  He handed out sailboat ornaments and candy canes and was quite a treat for everyone.  The biggest treat of all and surprise was that Uncle Dave invited us to go on the boat to take Mr. and Mrs. Clause back to thier "sled" (at the city docks).  This was not only a special treat because Santa was on board but it was also Wesley's first real boat ride!  Below are a few of the better photos...our camera battery ran out just in time so our friends Leigh and Suzanne helped out.
