When we traveled downstate for Thanksgiving, we decided to stay a couple days with my brother and his family. We really don't get to see them that often {My sister-in-law works weekends so time with her is oh so treasured!} so we thought the extra couple days down there would be perfect!
Friday morning we "slept in" and then the girls went shopping, the hubs went fat tire bike riding, and my brother stayed home with the kiddos. :)
We all met back at the house that afternoon to head out and get their Christmas tree! Now, being literally from Christmas Tree Country - I was kind of curious to see what we would find here downstate.
The not-so-little farm we went to was so cute! They had tons of animals for you to walk around and see, a train to visit santa, and then a wagon ride out into the tree field.
Little C. loved all the animals!
Bunnies {I told her to watch it because I stuck my hand in and one of the put a hole in my mitten!}
Is this Llama your momma?!
The cutest little piglets, I wanted to take them all home!
Seriously, how cute is this guy!?
C. got a big kick out of the goats...
The convenient hole for them to stick their head through - genius! C just kept giggling at him :)
Some Reindeer ....
Even some ponies that the hubs was clearly very excited about (horses are his favorite don't you know, NOT!)
It was chillier than we anticipated - seeing as the sun was out when we left the house and when we arrived it was gone and the snow started flying! So, lots of cuddles were needed!
And apparently Uncle D is the best at cuddles :)
It was fun to be able to explore the property - there was so much to see!
Sadly, we were a little disappointed with the selection of trees when we actually got out to the field. We ended up coming back to the "farm" and my brother and SIL picked one off the tree lot there that was freshly cut down just a couple days earlier.
I must stay, we are a little spoiled living in tree country - we can go out to a tree field here and cut down ANY tree we'd like for $20, no matter the size. Trees here ranged from $60 - $85, yikes!
By the end of our adventure little miss A. was all tuckered out, of course Aunt Kari still has the magic touch ;)
Another fun adventure to put in the books!
