Visit Local Festivals - events

When you homeschool be sure to make time for local events. Every year in Riverside we visit the Festival of the Trees.

One of the reasons is because my good friend, whom the kids call Aunt T decorates one of the trees.

This year we found a Lego Tree which was Douglas' favorite! 

This is a great way to get out of the house, and get inspired to get in the holiday spirit. We get to do a few crafts, visit with Santa and then I take the bugs to lunch!
