Oh Christmas Tree 2010





Oh what fun it is to ride in a one mama backpack....it sounded better when I sang it while we were walking to get our tree today.
We started the day with pancakes, then a walk at the dog park, then tried a new Christmas tree farm, only to find they were all way too small. So, feeling guilty for even thinking of straying from our traditional trek to ESF's Heiburg Forest to cut our own tree, we headed down Apulia Road to Tully, NY to get our tree. We started walking into the field when we realized we could not tell the difference between the Balsam and the Douglas firs, so we asked the guy driving the tractor. He told us that we could drive the truck (with the bald tires) through the field and that there was a secret stash of Frasier Firs way back there. So Wyatt and I started trekking back, and Jay went to get the truck. We found awesome trees. So glad we stuck with ESF. $25 for our giant Frasier. After that, we stopped for some lunch and hot cocoa, and now we are home where we are all resting before our next adventure.
