You Won't Find These In Colorado!

From the kids' perspective:

SADIE:
Sadie points to every palm tree she sees and says,  "Look!  A Hawaiian tree!"  Not sure where that came from, but I laugh every time!

MORGAN:
Last year (2010), when we visited Brian's family in Arizona for Christmas, I remember having the following conversation with Morgan, then age 4.

Morgan: (pointing to a palm tree trunk) Mom, what is that?
Me: That's a palm tree.
Morgan: That's not a tree.  Trees have branches and leaves!
Me: (pointing up to the top of the tree) See, the leaves are up at the very top.
Morgan: Well, it's not a Colorado tree, then.
