On a mild November 28, I was overjoyed to be included in the annual
by my Grandsons, Thor & Ashton, with their parents Sabrina and our eldest, Sponge Bry Square Head!
This ritual has become a family tradition of theirs - now at least 4 years running. They cut down their own Tree at a Dairy Farm just over the Wisconsin border In Twin Lakes, WI
The name of the Farm is Country Christmas Trees and I couldn't recommend them more highly. A family Farm, we have gotten to know the owner and he is the most personable man you'd want to meet. Click here for their FaceBook Page
Well, when we get to the Farm, the boys head into the Christmas Tree forest looking for that perfect tree. But alas, this year it is Sabrina who immediately finds THE ONE!

So, while Bryan is loading his partial tree into the car, Sabrina, Thor and I check out the Dairy Herd in the barn. About 200 head in there, each one with their own name. Ashton passes on the Cow Tour as it is WAY too fragrant in the Barn for him. But Thor and I love the Bovines, so we stop and chat with a couple of them on our inspection tour.
On our leave from the farm, we decide to take in Lakes Pancake House for Lunch - and it was excellent as usual.
