The Christmas Tree Farm, Part 2

Who knew you could have this much fun with an old pool slide and some hay?


 Sheer happiness...

 Watts was seriously belly laughing...


 Even Corinne had a great time toddling around in the sand in her hand-me-down Guillory jacket...






 The kids also had on their holiday themed shirts, but only Stella's and Watts's were visible...




 We totally need a tire swing...








Thanks again to the Gersch family for another delightful visit to their farm.  We can't wait to visit Yawn Station again next year.  Even if you are planning to put up a fake tree due to allergies, you should plan a trip to Yawn Station and buy a wreath to gift or something.  It truly is an idyllic family outing.

The Christmas Tree Farm, Part 1

It's that time of year again!  Time for our annual pilgrimage to Yawn Station Christmas Tree Farm to choose a tree and visit the Gersch family.  We had a blast, as usual...
 4 of my loves on the train...
 Stella posed on both sides of the train car...

 You have to check them all out in order the choose the perfect one...
 We once again went with a pre-cut tree.  They actually apologized to us when we arrived.  Seems that last year Damon bought their largest tree, and this year someone else beat him to the punch.  Thank goodness they did, because we had to cut 6 inches off this behemoth to be able to stand it up in our living room...
 Family photo with the tree!
 The ceremonial pulling of the tag...

 This may be my all-time favorite photo of Corinne...





 The kids enjoyed the slide just as much as last year...








More farm fun to come!
