The day after Thanksgiving we drove from Grandpa and Grandma Southwick's home in Rexburg and went to Ashton, Idaho to find and cut down our Christmas tree! This was a first for us and we LOVED it! So so much fun!
This is what Quincy wrote about it...
"On Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, we set out to find the perfect Christmas tree. Grandma Southwick payed $15.00 for us to cut down our very own Christmas tree. It was our first time ever cutting down a Christmas tree, so we didn't really know what we were looking for. We drove for about an hour to get to a big mountain that we hiked up. When we finally made it to the top, we walked around for probably aout 10 minutes. Then we saw a tree that we thought was just perfect for what we needed! We took a picture of us and the tree, then we chopped it down. We had Kylee drag the tree down the mountain, and the rest of us slik on our bottoms. Kara, our 5 year old cousin, was scared to go down the mountain...so Emilee took her on her lap, and they went down the hill together. When they got to the bottom, Kara said it wasn't as scary as she thought it would be, and that it was actually kind of fun! As Dad and Uncle Dan were strapping the tree to the trailer, Quincy, Brinley and Lily found some black ice, and started Ice skating around the parking lot. We kept slipping and falling, but it was super fun! After we got the tree on the trailer, we drove to warm springs. We got there and there were lots of big fish. The reason shy there were lots was because you were not alloud to fish there. After awhile a little family came with 4 rolls. They threw them to the fish, and we saw a lot of big ones. As they were leaving, we told them Thank You for bringing the rolls, and then went back to Grandma's house.
Extra info:
- The tree had lots of spider sacs that we had to get out.
- We saw people who had a really good tree, so we asked them where they got it, and they said, "up the hill".
- At the top of the mountain there was an old ski lift and other buildings for the resort that didn't work anymore.
