The biggest fundraising event for Hiawatha Homes (the care facility where Jessica works) is called Festival of Trees. It's a large event where businesses and groups of people sponsor a tree and decorate it to a theme and then they are auctioned off. Before the auction all of the trees are displayed and there are galas and events and one day is the kids day. We took the kids and met up with some friends (Alan and Sumedha with their girls Sonya and Sasha) to check things out. There were games and activities which both Natalya and Pierce enjoyed, although Pierce really just tried to mimic his big sister. There was face painting and a jumping castle and we all enjoyed actually looking at all the trees. It was almost overwhelming being in a hall with so many christmas trees. After a couple of hours though the kids got tired, not to mention I got a headache from all the people and background noise in the place, and we headed home. All in all I think the kids had a good time but we discovered that Natalya really doesn't like clowns.
