This year, we thought it would be fun to go on a little Christmas tree hunt in the forest. After all we are doing so many nature things with school and we thought this would be a fun adventure to incorporate into our year. We spotted our cute, little tree fairly quickly and each kiddo had a chance to cut it with the saw. It was a gorgeous day and none of us got cold searching for the perfect Christmas tree. After we found our tree and got it strapped to the car, we were not ready to leave yet so we went on a pine cone hunt and hike. The kids acted like they were in a war after reading about the Indians and Pioneers in The Little House book series and watching a movie about world war 2. It was quite entertaining. We have decided to make this a new tradition and go on a tree hunt yearly!
