{Ocean Isle Beach} 4th of July Parade!

Scott and I were SO excited to tell the kids about getting a golf cart for the week, it would be a 1st for us at the beach...I had no idea there was a "Decorate Your Golf Cart 4th of July Parade!" My friend, who has a family home there, clued me in! You know me...couldn't get on Pinterest fast enough to find ideas. Do we theme our cart out or go Patriotic? It being our 1st time, we had NO idea. People really go all out on the floats and golf carts! We went the Patriotic route and had the best time E.V.E.R! So much fun that we are already thinking of booking our next trip to OIB for the 4th next year! We ran out of candy the 1st block...had to pull over after a mile and let the kids collect candy from other carts! Next year we are going big....theme, music, and TONS of candy! Side note...I about freaked when our camera when bonkers and didn't work the minute we got to line up. I did get these before! Happy 4th of July!
