Not to make Central Oregon even MORE cooler, BUT, there is a reindeer farm just outside of Bend called Operation Santa Clause which is open everyday, from dawn until dusk! Yes, it is true, and we were lucky enough to see them! We invited a few friends (besides Grandma Bend, Grandpa Bend, and Uncle Robert), Abbey, Ryan and Delaney Davis and our friends Laurissa, Hunter and Eli.
The reindeer were in small numbers (the website boasts it is the LARGEST reindeer farm in the US, with 70+ head of reindeer) because most of them were away at reindeer gigs. I guess they rent them out for the holiday season!
The reindeer weren't too social, so, with the help of my Dad, Robert, and Ryan, we opened a gate which got us a bit closer to the reindeer. Aren't we rebels?! They are much smaller then we expected, and of course, very hairy! While we were out in the field we tresspassed into, we found a vertebrae from the reindeer AND Ryan found Trey an antler. Is that what they are called on reindeer? Trey was pretty excited!
Sweet Delaney Ryan and Treyman watching the Reindeer

Ryan holding Delaney so she could get a good view of those Reindeer
Tian wasn't too into the Reindeer and spent most of his time with either Justin or Grandpa Bend
It was great to spend the morning with friends and family!
After the farm, we drove into Sisters for some killer donuts, and then home for a little sleep for the little guys!
