Our "Charlie Brown" Christmas Tree



We didn't have to trek down this hill to find our tree!

An extremely dangerous looking bridge and tree house that Gavin really wanted to test out.

Ahhh.  Somewhere safe and warm, inside the store, operating Lego trains.



So, does it look like any of the boys wanted to pose for this?  Yeah.  They were ready to head home.
We checked out a new Christmas tree farm this year and were very pleasantly surprised.  We even plan to visit again this December, just to check out more of the farm.  Brian found a section posted:  Charlie Brown Christmas Trees- $5.  His eyes sparkled as he told me this and I knew we had to get one of these trees.  I was skeptical as to what we would find.  The first tree he picked up to inspect was bent about 2/3 the way up at a 45 degree angle.  I vetoed that one immediately.  The second tree looked pretty good.  The rest were tiny.  We went with option #2.  This works for me since I don't do well with too many options.  Also, I purchased a cheap fake tree on Saturday, just anxious to get "any" tree up for the kids.  They love both, of course, so that makes us happy.

At this farm, there is a small store selling homemade crafts and goodies with a Lego and remote control train display.  The boys LOVED this.  They pushed buttons to make the trains go around while Brian took care of the tree.
