In Austin, there’s a busy road where people (against all reason) park on the shoulder and basically climb a cliff (I might be exaggerating slightly) to decorate cedar trees (which everyone is allergic to). It’s awesome! And I have wanted to do it for basically my whole life. This year? Mission accomplished.
We met some friends, armed with cheap tree decorations, and let the kids go to town.
It really was a ton of fun.
We had to hunt around a bit for a tree. If we do this again, I’ll go earlier in December.
Of course, being surrounded by other brightly decorated trees sure made for some cute pics. 🙂
And some sassiness at my insistence that a certain Raptor let me take her picture. All in all, I’m calling this one a success, though given the crazy traffic I wouldn’t recommend it for littles. If we do this next year, I’m pretty sure I’ll be leaving the WonderTwins at home. 🙂
And yes, we will be going back after Christmas to clean up after ourselves.
