Little did we know what a long afternoon this would turn out to be. We arrived at Durkee Farm, a few miles from home, to cut our own tree as we do every year, only to find that they were SOLD OUT (on the 2nd weekend of December?!?!?). After calling a number of other cut-your-own-tree places in the area, and finding them ALL to be closed for the season, we ended up at what appeared to be more of a "former" tree farm in Groton. Not exactly the easy breezy Christmas tree cutting adventure that we'd set out for. Long story short, the trees were all enormous (at the least the nice looking ones), you have to claw your way through the prickle brush while searching for a tree, and Daddy's saw (a Marden's special....) was not adequate for the job at hand. We all somehow managed to survive, mostly unscathed....
Looking a little worried for Daddy....
Yep - that's our tree. No lie....
2 1/2 hours later......
