Fun Filled Friday!

The holiday continued throughout the weekend! Not only did we eat yummy left overs all weekend but we also had some fun family outings!

On Friday we went to the Garabaldi Maritime Museum.


Ty loved taking apart the puzzle boat and putting it together again! He also liked the cannon!


Mara had fun trying on the hats and just running around!


But the most fun at the museum was playing dress up and putting on the costumes!

After the museum we headed up the Trask River in search of the perfect Christmas tree! We went to the tree farm to cut down our own Christmas tree. Who knew looking at pine trees could be so fun? Not to mention the yummy hot chocolate and apple cider we enjoyed!

We searched high and low for the most beautiful noble fur Christmas Tree and we found it! Well, it looked like the most perfect and beautiful tree...until we got it home and tried putting it in the stand!

We found the most perfectly bowed Christmas tree on the lot! You can kind of tell, but there is a definiate bend in our tree! Oh well, it's still pretty. Oh and another thing...trees look a lot smaller in the tree farm than in your living room! Let's just say there is plenty of room under this tree for a lot of presents!!

So fun to find the perfect tree. You have cute little pilgrims with jowls. Unlike the pilgrims, they eat plenty.

It is so nice that you could make this fun memory for your family to enjoy in years to come.

We had fun, and you did too, it would have been best if we could have enjoyed the activities together.

I'll have Blake forward you our fun day pictures. It was a BLAST!

I want Dad to order a picture of TY and Mara in their costumes, from Wallmart. That is a keeper forever. Too darling of both children. A winner!
