e first week in December we were missing the Festival of Trees in Utah. When we found out that Portland had one we decided to try it out. We thought for sure that since Portland is a bigger area that their festival of trees would be outstanding, even compared to Utah's.
Um, we were most definitely wrong. It was tiny. Like maybe fifty trees. But, what they lacked in trees they made up for in activities for the kids. And most of all, no crowds. None at all. We had a great time, but probably won't go back next year!
Face painting.
They loved this. Ellery walked around with a crooked neck the rest of the night because she thought her present was so beautiful and wasn't quite sure if she could move her head normally and show off it's beauty at the same time. McKay's snowman scared me a little bit, but he loved it.
Teddy bear hospital.
This was so cute. One of the local hospitals sponsored this little area where the kids could pick out a bear, give it a name, and then decide what injuries it had. Oscar and Daisy were born. They then took them from table to table getting medical care for all their ailments- bandages, diapers, hats, and even real stitches. They loved it.
Spoiled?
I thought this was a funny picture. I wanted him to smile for me in front of all the toys, but I think this turned out even better. He was not in the mood for pictures.
A tree display.
This one had a really cool dog house with a dog in it that McKay loved. That's all.
I should have gotten a picture of the $20 dinner we were forced to buy- because of starvation and no other options. A burger, some soup and a hot dog between all four of us did not satisfy anybody. Well, maybe Brian because he ate the burger.
