Rehoboth Beach Sea Witch Festival 2014 (photo gallery)

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.
