Yep, life is a little different for us these days. Not only were we completely unable to go Christmas Tree Hunting at the cabin until mid-December, which was far too late to get a tree, when we did go get a tree, our girls either couldn't join us or weren't that interested. True, going to a tree lot isn't that exciting. But still! Where is everyone's sense of fun and adventure? Oh yeah, I have a 15 year old. That's where it went.
So Troy, Chase and I headed out into the (warm) December night in search of a tree. We started at Millcreek Gardens, where we were frankly horrified by both the selection and the price of the trees. There were exactly three trees that were in our height range and they were all close to $200 and looked mediocre at best. We decided to try again - Robinson Tree Farms where the prices were quite a bit better and there were hundreds of trees to choose from. Phew.
Chase and I actually had quite a bit of fun running through the rows and rows of trees. He found us a great tree, and I'm going to freely admit that the fact that we did not have to cut it down, tie it to the top of our car ourselves, or deal with other drivers in a snowy canyon were my favorite parts of this year's tree hunt. Makes me kind of want to go to Robinson's every year. Don't tell Mary.
