A Tree Hunting We Went


As has become our tradition, the day after Thanksgiving we headed out to breakfast and then went tree hunting.

For the second year in a row, Nolan’s parents joined us.

We go to one of the few tree farms in Albany, Volsteads, and LOVE the experience there.

You ride in a tractor pulled wagon out to the right tree lot for the size and type you’re looking for.

It’s fun because they take you past barns and fields of animals.

Then it’s a matter of heading out into the trees to find the perfect one.

And, of course, you have to check out the birds along the way.

Then hauling the tree back out to wait for the wagon to come by and pick you up.

We have yet to be rained on during our tree hunt and love it!

Back at the entrance to the farm, it’s fun to check out the model train and have some hot chocolate while waiting for the tree to be shaken and bailed.
