Valley View Farms

Our family has several traditions... from ice cream for dinner in the summer to visiting the Dundalk train garden every December. Tonight we did one of our November traditions and visited Valley View Farms! Valley View Farms, Baltimore, and Christmas are synonymous! With hundreds of trees and thousands of ornaments to choose from, it's a Christmas Wonderland. Some of you may be asking, "If it's a Christmas place, then why on earth is it a November tradition?" It's all about STRATEGY, especially with a 6 and 3-year old boy. We pick a week night, preferably a Monday, in November before Thanksgiving and go each year. There was literally no one there, other than the employees. If you go after Thanksgiving it's wall to wall people and impossible to enjoy. A critical part of the tradition is that each boy gets to pick their own special ornament. Our Christmas tree will be filled with special memories as each year passes!

 Here is the traditional Christmas tree shot!

 This was Katelyn and Sean's first visit... although I am sure there will be plenty more!

 Blake had a tough time selecting his ornament because he is really digging fire trucks and police cars right now, but in the end the fire truck won!

 Caleb picked an angry bird!

Both Grandmoms joined us!

If you have time, sneak over there before Christmas... you'll love it!
