Our Trip to the Xmas Tree Farm

Every year since Tom and I have been dating, we've ventured to a Xmas tree farm where we vacation each summer in Michigan. (I guess technically the tree farm is in nearby Indiana but anyway, it's a short distance from our vacation spot).

Adler has been a regular on this trip since we got her and has always loved this trip especially when there is snow. Lucky for her this year they had snow even though we didn't have in Chicago. Adler was over the moon running around all the different trees and trying to find us when we were out of sight. I think this day ranks right up there with playing on the beach for her. And she treats the snow much the same way as she treats the sand - she rolls around in it, eats it and just can't get enough of it.

As for Austen, this was his first year at the tree farm. He did remarkably well even though next year, I can't wait til he can walk! Lugging around a 22-plus pound kid while romping through the snow and selecting a tree sure built up some muscles! Anyway, he sat wide-eyed on the bumpy hayride to the trees and just observed all that was going on around him. We can't wait to see him on Xmas morning!
