Happy Halloween, everyone!
To honor the holiday, I decided to share photos I took at the 25th annual Sea Witch Festival in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, held Oct. 24-26.
Out of all the years I've gone to Rehoboth, this is the first time I've attended the festival. Cassidy and I made the trip because we both love the beach, and she loves everything about Halloween.
It was a perfect weekend with temperatures in the upper 60s, all sun, no clouds, plenty of great food and tons of smiles on people's faces.
Enjoy the photos and the god-awful cheesy puns tagged with them.

| "I bet this one's supposed to be a jellyfish!" |
 |
| "Ooooh, it's a ... snake?" |
 |
| The kid in the background makes this look like a thought bubble. |
 |
| The guys on "the force" keep getting younger and younger. |
 |
| Even I can't shoot with sunglasses on. |
 |
Damn pirates, always breaking the law ... by going the wrong way up a one-way
street. |
 |
| "Nemo" on the right is awestruck by the giant seahorse. |
 |
| Giddy-up! |
 |
| I bet this one never gets caught in tuna nets. |
 |
| "We've got a runner!" |
 |
The Sea Witch Festival costume parade finally makes its way past Cassidy
and I. |
 |
| The Cape Henlopen High School Marching Band helped lead things off. |
 |
| Flag twirlers led the procession. |
 |
| The band members were in costume. |
 |
| The cymbal player looks a bit cranky. |
 |
| Based off the cobwebs, the drummers haven't practiced in a while. |
 |
| I can drink to this. |
 |
| And this. |
 |
| "Ahoy! We've come fer all ye dogfish head!" |
 |
| The lady of the hour. |
 |
I'm turning 25, as well, in January. I'm hoping I age a little more gracefully than
the Sea Witch. |
 |
| Somebody's crabby. |
 |
| "What?" |
 |
All those years of breathing in building smoke have
stunted Godzilla's growth. |
 |
| Can't tell if it's a gumball or jawbreaker machine. |
 |
| This festival tuckers some people out. |
 |
| This caption doesn't got some 'spainin' to do. |
 |
| This stroller still gets better gas mileage than my car. |
 |
| Yup, still better gas mileage than my car. |
 |
| "Hey, I think you guys might be getting a bit clo ... " |
 |
| "OH DEAR LORD!!!" |
 |
| Not so serious. |
 |
| The costume on the right wins ... every time. |
 |
| At least I only tend to lose my mind ... |
 |
| Most ... original costume? |
 |
| Do I hear a hissing sound behind him? |
 |
| How many monkeys jumping on the bed? |
 |
| "What a glorious day to be a duck." |
 |
| You ever feel as though death is creeping up on you? |
 |
| That skull has a great orthodontist. |
 |
Great advertising campaign: "If you're seeing giant dolphins, you may want
to schedule an appointment with Sussex Eye Center today." |
 |
| Nice of Elton John to play for such a small crowd. |
 |
| "BAM BAM!" (Exact quote) |
 |
| "LC Homes: Don't mind the giant death spiders." |
 |
| Primitive. |
 |
| I'm craving tuna all of a sudden. |
 |
| I thought they said this festival has only been running for 25 years? |
 |
| Shriners roll in style. |
