Festival of Trees

The Timonium Fairgrounds was the home for many Beer, Bourbon, & BBQ festivals and Oktoberfests.  However, the weekend after Thanksgiving, it hosts a more kid-friendly event, the Festival of Trees.  It was the official start to the Christmas season.  Catie was excited to show of her snowman outfit to Carley and Robin.

There was big set of toy trains which the kids were mesmerized by.

Then they got to ride in one.

Catie was a little jealous that she could not ride the train with her cousins so Mary took her onto the carousel with Cindy and Robin.

We took a break from the rides to make sure letters got mailed to Santa.

Finally, we took a stroll around to look at all the different trees...

And the gingerbread houses.

It was a great way to kick off the Christmas season!  Next, we get our Christmas tree.
