I love the month of September in Belize.  LOVE IT.  September 21st in San Pedro is the culmination of the good times…the big JUMP UP parade.  This year’s was as fun as ever.

I can’t get enough…lucky for me?  The parade circled around twice where I was stationed.

Let’s just get right into all of the pictures.  This year I mixed things up and was quite pleased with the results.  Mostly because the parade lines up on the beach…on one of our most gorgeous stretches of beach in the Boca Del Rio Area.

Gorgeous gorgeous perfection.

Look at these cuties waiting for the rest of their dance troupe.

I mean SERIOUSLY?  Too much.

Liliana, on the left, is one of my Crossfit instructors.  If I just keep working…

Fantastic costumes and make-up.

 

Go Little Miss ABC Pre-School!

And the super fun sunglasses for the parade…

 

I love this picture.  

 

I turned the corner and ran into Miss San Pedro, Solani Graniel, waiting for the start of the parade and for her glittery float to arrive.

Now to the parade and the Red White & Blue.  Another friend from Crossfit.

And Amy from Wild Mangos.

 

No group looked more patriotic!

Wings Store had some fantastic floats…but they always do a great job.

He looks tired and he should be.  He’s getting the work-out of his life.  This costume was held together by Rebar.  HEAVY STUFF.

 

And voted Best Float in the parade – ABC Pre-school’s group “Shaping up the Future”.

Let’s keep going…

Next up, the HIV/AIDs Commission…

Look at these faces!  This is not a marching in place kind of event.  Kids and adults are DANCING the whole time.

And if they are not…there is always the clean-up cart at the end of your section to give you just a little rest…

And fear not!  I have PLENTY of pictures left for you.  Plenty.
