We went for a walk to the arboretum this morning. This is the park where Dan and I first decided to get married. It's a special place for us. This is the love tree.. it's two live oaks grown together. The girls decided to climb it.
Dan and I rested underneath it and pondered the past 27 years.
While we were gone, Squirt decided to do something special for us. He planned to take all the ornaments off the Christmas tree, take the tree out to the carport, cut slices of the trunk off for a gift of coasters and trivets, and return the tree re-decorated before we returned from our trip to the arboretum.
Well, it didn't go as planned. He ran into trouble with siphoning the water from the stand, fending off Kitten Lilly, dealing with a mess made by Frisbee Whippet, and untangling strands of lights.
We let him go ahead and proceed with his plan.After a while he got the tree back up.
We decided to make him an ornament from a scrap piece of wood.
The girls even got to help re-decorate the tree as usual.
