WOW! How many trees can they put in one convention center? I don't know but I'm sure they numbered over one hundred. (Big ones, little ones, fat ones, skinny ones) Add in a giant slide, roller coaster, merry-go-round, other carnival rides, crafts, gift shop, more exhibits, and children's choirs and you've got the makings of a great time. That is exactly what we had! The kids loved it, especially Judson. He rode his first roller coaster. Ansley got a bit scared on the tilt-a-whirl but really liked the flying car ride. Sawyer loved the carousel. Mom loved the trees. And DAD, let's just say, he didn't complain as he rode all the rides! People/groups donate decorated trees, wreaths, and gingerbread houses. Some of the themes of the trees this year were: Black-tie barbie (all black and silver decorations), legos (all lego decorations), Thomas the Tank Engine, Swarovski crystal (ooooh-la-la, beautiful), teddy bears, patriotic, South of the Border, Neckties (angels made from old neck ties) and it just goes on and on. They are sold with the proceeds going to Children's Healthcare of Atlanta. They charge admission that goes to CHOA. It was a great time and I highly recommend it, even though it can get crazy with the parking and all those people.
I made a collage of some of the trees since there is no way to show all of them. I think I took some 90 photographs today. Enjoy!
