Underwater Christmas Tree Decorating

No fiber today. I just wanted to report on the fun thing the girls and I did yesterday.

Our local dive shop holds an annual Underwater Christmas Tree Decorating Contest. They sink a couple of Christmas trees in their pool and you scuba down and decorate them with plastic ornaments and tinsel. All the fees for the event go to Breast Cancer Research, so everyone benefits. Last year the girls and I were featured on the local news in full scuba gear decorating our tree!

This year there were no film crews, but we had a great time. An underwater photographer takes a picture of each decorated tree and the pictures are sent out to neutral parties for judging. We don't know who won yet, but it doesn't really matter.



Everyone has to bring their own unbreakable treetopper. Here is ours.
