this past weekend aiden and i went to the Festival of Trees. the Festival of Trees, for those of you not in the know, is an annual fund raiser for a local children’s hospital where people decorate a tree using a theme of their choosing and oftentimes include gifts that fit that theme and then they auction off the trees for money and then that weekend everyone gets to wander about to look at the trees before the people who bought them get to take them home. you know that website, the people of walmart? the festival of trees has them beat.
but the displays are always so neat that aiden and i have made it a tradition to go, me with my camera, and him with some popcorn.
this year we had the added commentary of the hilarious hannah and her husband. and although i would love to post my favorite trees i would rather post the strangeness that was this years addition: volunteers acting like mannequins. it was freaking weird.
I love the one above… the guy in the vest thinks that leaning his cheek against a hard edge is a natural pose. nerrrrrrrdy.
and this last one is for Alice… I had a Halloween party and she dressed as a flapper. This is what a flapper looks like: flapper. one of my party guests went up to Alice and said, “Oh my GOSH, you are the LAMP? How funny!”
it took us awhile but we figured out that this is what she meant: the lamp. so alice, this is for you.
