The great tree hunt of 2013 was a success!! We went, like we did last year, to Butler's Orchard to find our tree. They rotate which lots we get to choose and cut down our tree from. We get to try different types of trees which is fun! It wasn't a terribly cold day but it did have a bite to the air. Lauryn, who swore she didn't need a coat, ended up needing a coat. Imagine that!!
We found a tree then once we started cutting it down, changed our minds. We had only notched it so we didn't feel bad looking for another tree. Once we found the REAL tree, everyone wanted a turn having a go at the saw. The bigger kids are getting better at doing that. Pretty soon Ryan won't have to doing any of it.
Once we had the tree cut down we waited for a tractor pulling a flatbed trailer to come and haul it over to the station where they trimmed the base, shook and bagged and then we paid for it. The kids were so excited to get it home and get it decorated. It was a great tree and we loved our final choice.
The tree we decided we didn't want.
The tree we ended up cutting down.
