Festival of Trees


One holiday tradition in our family is going to the Festival of Trees (minus Dave, he doesn't like crowds). We love to go and see all the beautiful trees, wreath's, gingerbread houses etc. Not only are we supporting a great cause but we have a really fun day together.

Lots of Crafts......


Calling one of Santa's Elves at the north pole.















Ali and Zach love kids corner.
This year Ali had a manacure.

One of their very favorite things is the giant bubble. They have a kids swimming pool with a stool in the middle. They stand on the stool and the booth worker pulls a hula hoop up around them and they are inside a giant bubble and get to blow big bubbles.


There are yummy treats and goodies and all kinds of crafts. We usually spend a good 5 hours there.
The past few years my best friend Joanie has been going with us. We would walk down an isle to see the trees and then switch over to the opposite isle. Zach kept going back over to the side we had just walked down, yelling Joanie, look at that one wow! We would say, Zach we just saw that one isn't it cool. He would say no we didn't. There are so many amazing trees every year!


I am also happy to say....I didn't lose sight of my son, not once... this time anyway.
