Last weekend we went on our Christmas tree hunt. For the last few years we have been heading up north to get our tree. We found a small lot that you can cut down your own tree and the money goes to the local highschool. We have had much success with finding great trees there until this year. We drove straight to it and found a Land Action Use sign. The lot is closed and going to be turned into a subdivision or strip mall or who knows what. There were still a few sad looking Christmas trees on the lot and I wanted to cut one down and take it home but that would be trespassing so we didn't. Molly had only fallen asleep 15 mins before getting there so it was a good thing to keep driving so she could get a better nap. We had thought she would have fallen asleep a lot earlier in the drive!
Off to Christmas tree farm #2-yeah I didn't like it when we pulled into the drive, we had stopped there in years passed and I thought they were expensive. Molly-still sleeping. On we drove. This time we went looking for the tree farm that we had gone to 5 years ago. We weren't exactly sure where it was but had an idea. Needless to say a few hours later and 3 tree farms later, we stopped at the Kangaroo Farm. Yup, they have kangaroos, emus, llamas, etc. and of course Christmas trees. There was a brand new baby kangaroo that a worker was carrying around for people to see. Molly liked the little joey best of all. The trees turned out to already be cut but by that point we were all ready to go home. So needless to say we could have just gone to the grocery store and picked one out in alot less time and for less money. But we enjoyed the day together, drinking hot chocolate as we drove along. thankfully, we remembered to put some in a thermos for us.
