The Tree Farm and Circus Fun (36 Weeks)

The Tree Farm has always been this far off place we have heard about through its catchy commercials on TV.  On Saturday, we actually got to experience it.  Why not go and purchase trees on the hottest day of the summer?  Zach's boss lent us his truck and off we went.  It didn't have a/c or automatic transmission - did I mention it was 95 degrees and Zach is more confident in my stick shift abilities than his own?!  So, I drove the truck 45 miles to Longmont, CO and arrived with a completely soaked shirt and a bad attitude. 

Once we arrived however, it was pure bliss.  They actually drove us around the 40 acre property in a golf cart as we sipped ice cold water.  We left with 6 trees crammed in the bed of our little truck...Zach was a little shocked when I insisted on hitting up the drive through for ice cream before I got back on the interstate.  However, he has learned not to get in between his 8-month pregnant wife and food....and look at the beautiful trees we have!



On Sunday, I hosted book club.  We read the book, The Night Circus and our food theme revolved around circus food - carmel corn, carmel apples, corn dogs, peanuts, animal crackers, ice cream cones, corn on the cob, root beer floats, chocolate covered bananas....we went a little crazy with the food theme!



After the food, the ladies threw me an impromptu baby shower....I love my book club!





Baby Bisek is going to be a reader with all these wonderful books...



36 Weeks!

  2. Apparently, Zach would not have had the ability to handle Big Red...little did you know then what that truck was preparing you for! :) From the sounds of it, "bad attitude" would be understatement...awesome big, beautiful trees! Notice how during pregnancy everything starts to revolve around food...okay, well let's be honest, we lived in house called Chubby's...it has always been about food. You look great Megs...enjoy the last few WEEKS!!
