The Perfect Christmas Tree
Now that Thanks Giving is over our family headed out to Yost, on a quest to find the “perfect” Christmas tree. Our day began with a Grand Slam Breakfast from Denny’s.
We then all loaded in the Tahoe; we were gone about 15 minutes when the first question came, “Are we there yet” soon after Wyatt and Oaklie had a nap. After about an hour drive we arrived to One Mile Canyon. We headed back into the cedars where we started running into all kinds of wildlife; we saw several deer and some rabbits. We started seeing a few pine trees. Steffanie and Oaklie were walking through the trees to see if they could find the perfect tree when the rest of us heard a scream come from Steffanie and Oaklie. We looked up in time to see a rabbit running away from them. Steffanie said that it tried to attack, all I could see was a rabbit running for its life. After what seemed like 4 hrs and 200 trees later, the perfect tree was spotted. After a short photo shoot, the tree was cut down and loaded on the Tahoe.(yes just call us the Griswalds) We were heading home going down One Mile when we ran into a heard of deer eating on the side of the road. We then noticed that there was a pretty nice buck with them. He was a 4x4 with about a 24” spread. We were taking some pictures of him when they started to move. This buck was having a hard time walking, he had a bad limp. He was probably wounded in the deer hunt last Oct. We all had a fun time and came home excited for Christmas.
