With Maureen at the wheel ( there was no way I was getting in the driver seat ... duh! there is snow on the ground, not to mention snow on the car, the door was frozen shut, and there were icicles that had formed from the running boards and tire wells of the car.)
Using our expert navigation system (hand-written directions), we arrived and were greeted by a friendly worker atthe gate house. We parked, and the trek began.
Greeted by the holiday cheer of the rest of the Hann's Christmas Farm crew,Maureen picked out the perfect saw and I thought to my self.... there is no way we are cutting downa tree with
that thing! But, we treked through the farm, my toes starting to become frozen, inhigh spirits looking for the perfect tree. (Thoughts of National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation were running through my mind and I was hopeful that we would be more careful and find a tree that was squirrel-free.)
I learned that there are different types of trees -- and that in Maureen's family, they alternated each year because her mom and dad liked different types of trees. I cant tell you what type of tree they ended up getting, but it is a nice one. Nick was so excited that we found the tree, that he felt compelled to dance and try to kiss it, but the tree reallydidnt want to kiss him!
