Today we took the annual trek over to WI to get our Christmas tree. I know many would think we are nuts traveling that far for our tree, but it is the 'experience' that makes it all worth it (and a happy hubby).
We road the wagon to the location of the trees. Gerrit liked this part of the whole day. He even liked 'carrying' the measuring pole. (We smartened up and no longer 'eyeball' the height of the trees - our ceiling appreciates it!) Wearing dad's gloves was another favorite - he even wore them around the house when we got home.
We had the privilege of 'shopping' for a tree for friends. It was fun to find one according to the specifications. Luckily they wanted a Frasier fir as well so we could get both in the same area.
All we had to do was cut the trees and get them back to the wagon area. From there the workers did the res! They were shaken, drilled (the best part of this farm), bailed, loaded on wagon, carried and tied to our car. Talk about no hassle!
After a quick stop for lunch, we headed home. It was a beautiful day, even if we didn't have snow to enhance the whole experience. The tree is now in its stand and ready for decorating. Tomorrow...
