Dull's Tree Farm is north of Zionsville and kind of a hike, but well worth the trip. Obviously, there are lots of trees to choose from, but there are also little Christmas shops, a wreath barn, a couple animals and a barn loft with slides, tunnels in the straw and big underground slide outside.
On our first visit with Mom and Dad Lilly worked up the courage to explore some of the tunnels in the straw maze. She was a little braver when we came back the second time and a nice brother and sister pair went with her.
Jack gets in on some sliding action with a little help from Papaw.
Walking in straw is harder than you might realize.
The tunnel to the slide.
And, of course Lilly's favorite of the tree farm was all of the friendly kitties. Although, the one that brought her a dead mouse as a gift led to a lot of questions on the ride home.
Return trip with Daddy. Proudly pulling the Traylor tree to the wrapping station.
After quite a bit of thought and assurance she decided to try the big underground slide with Daddy. 
It is basically huge PVC pipe buried in a hill. Needless to say, they shot out of there like a rocket and Bryan was repeatedly shocked with static electricity.
Lilly's eyes were the size of saucers when they came out of the bottom of the slide. But, she immediately wanted to go again.
Decorating the tree. The ornaments are pretty much all in clumps and groups and most of them have been moved up out of Jack's reach. Nothing on the tree really matches and there is no rhyme or reason to the decorating. In short, it is our worst decorated tree ever...and we couldn't be more happy or proud.
There was also a moment or two of confusion about the Christmas tree skirt, but we got it all straightened out in the end.
