Christmas Tree Hunting

It was a strangely gorgeous day in Iowa City – 45 degrees and sunny despite it being December 8th.  As a result, the Werth crew decided to go hunting for a Christmas tree.  Upon the advice of Elise’s co-worker, we navigated to Handley’s Holiday Hillside Farm in Solon, Iowa.  With Henry in tow and Jacob ‘running’, we set out to find the best tree.  After some searching, much running, some yelling and some crying, we settled upon on a nice white pine.  We flagged the workers and they came to cut it down for us.  Jacob helped to drag it back to the truck and while Dad was getting the tree shaken and bagged, played on the model train.  We headed back home and made use of our new tree stand while the boys napped.  Unfortunately, we don’t have it decorated yet, but I’m sure there will be photos at a later date.  For now, enjoy these photos of the hunt!
