Christmas Tree

New Album 11/28/08 9:59 PM

Today we took the kids to Prarie Pines to cute down our own Christmas tree. It started out with us signing in and receiving our saw and directions on how to cut down our own tree. We then took a horse drawn hayrack ride out to the different fields to pick out our tree. Both kids had a blast on the ride, only it was a little cold. We got off at the Southwestern White Pine field and went searching. Mallory found a great tree that we all loved and Chris got busy sawing it down with a little sideline help from Mick. We then placed our tag on the tree and took the hayrack ride back to the main building. We went in and let Mallory pick out a couple of ornaments and then paid for the tree. We were going out for some hot chocolate and cookies when we spotted a neat rain ride for the kids. Mallory really wanted to take Mick so we let them go. At the last minute we decided we weren't sure how long the ride would be and knowing Mick we decided it would be good for Daddy to go along! We then headed for snacks, the kids had yummy cookies and then it was time to head home. Oh yeah, Santa arrived on a horse drawn carriage while we were there as well! Overall we all had a great time and Mallory thinks this is an event that needs to become a tradition for our family and we agree.
