Saturday after Thanksgiving Brian, Emma Brown, the kids and myself went to Pine Hill Christmas Tree Farm. I needed to check prices and the kids needed to see the reindeer. It's a Christmas Season must! We stopped in their Tree Shoppe "where the magic is applied" the sign said. Magic in the sparkling form of $27 per box of lights. I'm not saying it's over priced, they wrap each limb with lights and it's possible that the light strands of very long. We asked about this huge tree being prepared. I asked if it were for a business and the woman said it was for a home. In another room they had applied snow. I didn't ask how much that was but it was very beautiful.
If you do get a chance, even if you don't buy your tree there, go check it out. They are a really nice bunch of people. When I went to pick up some scrap limbs from them the other day for making wreaths, I asked them if they had any other cuttings beside fir trees and the guy told me he had a cedar tree I could have. He was even going to cut it up for me and I haven't even bought my tree yet. I don't want it to dry up too soon. Every time I've been everyone there has been extremely nice and helpful.

Cedar Trees.
Fir Trees started at $45. There may have been cheaper ones, but I didn't see them.
I was supposed to go back and pick up some of the tree cuttings they were going to throw away and make a wreath for the kids, but after Cracker Barrel that morning (where I forgot to eat due to feeding Dax and keeping him occupied) then the farm, then the park. I was exhausted.
When we were at the park, Isaac was fixing to go down the slide Dax broke his leg on. When he got half way down he kind of did the same thing Dax did but with both feet. When he did it, it tumbled him over and poor boy got slide burn from face meeting slide. Brian looked at me with same uh oh look I had and said "that's a dangerous slide." It really is. It's strictly meant for big kids but I could still see them getting hurt. It's just the way the slide is made.
Isaac was fine though and just went about his business. I told Brian that Isaac is so tough he could survive nuclear bombs.
