We love going to the Festival of Trees each year. It is such a cool event for such a good cause. All of the money from the trees, admission and everything sold there goes to Primary Children's Hospital. 
There were quite a few cool U of U trees and displays and I only saw one BYU themed tree. Perhaps Ute fans are just feeling happier this season??
There is such a wide variety of trees. This wouldn't really go in my house, but don't you love it??
Of course there was a Twighlight themed tree. 
Check out this cool tree made out of cut up golf clubs. I picture a disgruntled ex-wife making this with her ex's clubs!
This one is hard to see with my poor photography. It is three palm trees decorated with fish and such. Both Hema's loved it. We would love to have a palm tree as our Christmas tree. 
This was my favorite tree and perhaps the coolest one there. It was like 8 feet tall and made out of blown glass. It lit up to music and was really amazing. Once again my picture is poor. The Ashtons (they own Thanksgiving Point - our favorite place!!) donated it and the Holdman brothers made it. We went to high school with the Holdmans. It was so neat. I wish I knew how much it sold for. 
There are also candy houses and other items for sale there. This is Bella and Charlies house from Twighlight. I love the gum siding!
Check out this amazing castle. It was at least 5 feet tall. I can't imagine the work that went into making it. 
I know this is a bad picture, but I was trying to be discreet. These 2 ladies with their matching pink dog strollers made me laugh. It was a pain moving about with a stroller. I can't imagine being willing to hassle with a stroller for a dog!

It isn't the greatest display, but the kids loved it and it was only $3.50 a car (for members) and 3 minutes from home.

What a neat outing. Festival of Trees is just an amazing place, and I am totally impressed you went with little kids! I wouldn't dare take Ben.
I have been told that the glass tree went for something like $36,000 or so. As of Sunday morning, there were still 47 items left to be sold, guess they are listed on the official website or something.
How fun! I love the Cullen tree, the glass tree and the dog strollers!!!
Every yr I say we are going to do the lights at Thanksgiving Point and it will prolly need to wait another year.
Love your pic of the dog strollers- too funny!!!
I saw the video of the glass blown tree- ah.maz.ing. I wish I could've seen it in person. Again, one of these years I'll get up there!! Smile...
