Tree Hunt

We went on our "Tree Hunt" this past weekend, and after about a three hour detour-we found ourselves at the tree lot we had passed by during the first five minutes of our hunt! Imagine that?

We were looking for a tree farm, which we never found, but after we kept driving (we were determined to find it), we realized we were driving through Red Rock Canyon. We had never been there before, and I must say that it was the most gorgeous detour ever. By that time, we were hugry, and so we caught the freeway and headed to "The Strip" to have lunch. We walked around, grabbed some delicious burgers, and took some cute pix at the Venetian.





*My boys LOVED taking pictures with the Blue Man Group*





*Grayson was TERRIFIED of the Blue Man Group! Brooklynne would not go near them either. She would say, "Ohhh...It's SCARY EYES!"



*Neat pictures! This is a person painted and dressed to look like a statue. She moves SUPER slow while changing positions*




*Here are the boys with a Humpty Dumpty statue. Ryder was SO excited because he had just studied Humpty Dumpty at Preschool*






After ALL of that fun, we decided to go back to the cute little tree lot we had passed in the beginning. Here is a slide show with pictures at the tree lot and us at home decorating! Merry Christmas!

How fun. Eveyrone looks so cute.
The boys looked like they were dancing to the blue men. No wonder Brooklyn and Grayson were scared.
The whole day looked like a fun activity for the kids.
Also, I laughed at your comment on your blog since I wrote about your Mom's "little friend." so funny.
At least it was written in the comment section, and not a post!
haha!

What a fun family day! Your kids really are adorable. And I love it that your 5 yr old bears his testimony! My 5 yr old hasn't tried that yet- but maybe I will encourage him next time. That's so cute! How big is your baby? My "little" guy is 24 pounds- he's killing my back!
