Today, Michael and I visited the tree farm with my MOPS group! We saw our future Christmas tree there:
We rode this wagon. It was Seriously COLD. 48 and windy. All the kids were dressed appropriately - us moms - we somehow forgot about ourselves!We were told when Christmas comes, we can pick out our tree and they give us a saw to cut it down. SOLD. Brian's gonna LOVE that!
After the wagon ride, we were introduced to their reindeer:
But we were not allowed to get too intimate with him:

And here I thought reindeer only existed in stories! What's the difference between a reindeer and a caribou?
Here's a picture of Michael - just because I can:
And they had this play area called "Mulch Mountain." It was hilarious. Lots of mulch with plastic tunnels built into it and different slides/valleys. Michael loved jumping around on it:
We got to make a pine cone craft where you smear it with crisco and then dip it into birdseed. It's supposed to be a bird feeder! They fed us popcorn and hot chocolate - a serious fun time!Can't wait to go back and take pictures of us picking out our Christmas tree! YIPPEE!
Love,

Reindeer and caribou are the same thing. Caribou is the word used in North America so I guess the ones you saw are officially caribou. Reindeer is the word used in the rest of the world. Just like Elk and Moose which was really hard for us to figure out when we got to Norway.
How does Robin always know this stuff? She is SO going to be my Phone-a-Friend when I'm on "Who Wants to be a Millionaire".Oh- and I am in love with Christmas tree farms. Have fun choosing a tree soon!
