Tree Chopping- {3rd annual outing}

We made our "day after Thanksgiving" trip to find a tree......over the hills & through the woods we went! Unless for some VERY sad reason this little place shuts down......we will never go anywhere else! It's a beautiful drive out to the middle of know where & we are supporting a small business who could use ALL THE LOCAL support they can get!!
This year it was a race against time due to a, soon to be, setting sun! Because along with finding a tree we've made a tradition of taking some pictures in the middle of all the tree's for our Christmas card......oh the pressure I put on that "to do" almost ruined our day.........

THANK GOODNESS for a man who totally gets my craziness on most days & finds ways to intercede & have some fun! Who knew grabbing a kids hand & running so fast that they were no longer able to keep their feet on the ground would induce SO. MUCH. LAUGHTER.???!!!
AND you know what? Despite my craziness.....in the end we found a tree.....
& some great pictures......even if not all are Christmas card or Christmas gift worthy......
there are signs of fun times out there in the middle of no where!
AND you can't complain when nature has a way of attracting your attention to it's simple beauty......
{1 more and!} AND we did end up with some Christmas card worthy pictures even if they had to be turned b/w due to aforementioned setting sun!
We managed to get that tree...that tree that didn't look so big in the midst of bigger trees stuffed in the back of the truck.....
& said good-bye to our quaint little tree farm!
