As we do every year, we scoured the area (well one area) for the PERFECT tree (one that would do) and cut it down (Chainsaw) and carried it home (OMG) This is Harry's story.
We planned to go on December 7th, but we were both sick (Corey and I) so we didn't. On December 8th (lol) sometime in the afternoon, after our naps (again Corey and I) lol, we bundled up, Amelie too, and got in the truck. Okay so first we had to find my boots, which Corey found as well as our toques, mittens and other various farm clothing. Corey had scouted a tree location near South Branch House.
*Okay honey, go look over the edge and see which way you want to go ..." He told me. So I went to the edge and peered each way. On one side (left) was a tiny, little tree, on the right ... another tree ... I looked back at him and decided to the right. I could see the tops of more around the corner.
Going down was fairly easy, Amelie and I slid down on our bums. We had fun actually - er except for the rock - but Amelie still thought it was fun. We walked for what seemed like MILES - seriously. Carrying a 17 lb baby is tough lol. Plus we were bulky and slippery - and a little cold.
Corey was SO picky and every tree we suggested wasn't good enough. Finally, you could tell he was getting annoyed lol. Amelie and I and Corey picked a tree. Corey cut it down - pouting the whole time because it wasn't as good as RODGER'S Tree last year. Awwwwwwwwwwww. To be honest, Corey said our tree looks like it's having a bad hair year *hence the name Harry* I think it's BEAUTIFUL.
We turned around and looked at the mountain we had to scale to get back up. Needless to say ... it was hilarious, interesting and I can't see us going to get our tree there next year lol. I'll post a picture soon
