We really like to go into the mountains to select a wild tree. However this year, my Mom and her special friend, Troy gave us a certificate for a free farm tree. We headed out late morning with the sun playing peek a boo through the clouds. It was a bit of a road trip, going all the way out to Shelton. By the time we got into town, Amelia was done with being in a car seat, and what a suprise, Jairus was hungry. We ate at a new local restaurant/brewery. They had some decent food, and when we finished, we finished the trip out to this tree farm. It was different than the tree farms we are familiar with out in Orting. There was some terrain, which gave us the feeling of being in the mountains searching for the perfect pine. Another thing I liked about this farm, was the trees weren't so commercial looking. They were far more trimmed than the wild trees, but maintained some character; as apossed to the ultra maintained and trimmed trees at the popular farms. It was a perfect combination.
It didn't take long to find the perfect tree. Thank goodness, because it was WINDY that day.

It was such a great day, just us. So simple and fun.
