Willow Run
Posted by Rachel
It has now become a tradition since we started going to my Uncle’s for Thanksgiving that either Friday or Saturday morning we head over to a local nursery to look at their Christmas display. It is a wonderful place called Willow Run. They have live animals that you can feed, a Christmas display of various Christmas scenes, and of course Christmas trees all wonderfully decorated. Each year we pick out several things to buy from Willow Run. Mainly window clings of some sort. This year we did end up getting couple other things. We let Abby pick out LED lights for a small tree we had for her bedroom. She also picked out a small gold star for the top of her tree. She was so excited to get to pick these out. We also got a Christmas door mat and some window clings. We are trying the gel ones this year. We will see how they go.
Abby, of course, loved the animals the best and probably could have stayed there all day feeding them. At Willow run the animals are all behind a double fence so you can’t touch them. They have tubes you put the food down that goes into a trough for the animals to eat. Abby liked putting the corn kernels down the tube one kernel at a time. It was a miracle the animals could find the kernels and eat them. Though I have to say it did save me quarters, since she wasn’t putting whole handfuls down the tubes and then asking for more over and over again. Way to have self control kid!
