Christmas Tree Hunt

Its almost Christmas and we do not even have a tree, whats up with that. ( Where is the holiday spirit) so Jonny and I decided ( mostly Jonny) that we will go out in the back woods of our home and find ourselves a Christmas tree. I was afraid of ending up with a Charlie Brown tree, but Jonny had bigger dreams in mind. It had just snowed about a foot the night before so we bundled up and went out hiking up the hill, looking for our tree.

Jonny found an old rusted saw in the shed and we were off, everything was just covered in snow and leave less, we were having a hard time finding a tree. We have noticed that our yard is what seems to be an animal highway crossing. When we reached the top of the hill we found tracks everywhere. The day before we heard wild turkeys in the woods.... well they were for sure turkeys and BIG ones to the tracks were as big as Jonnys hand ( and Jonny has big hands) We even could see where they had nested for the night with 20 or so spots that you could see where they had Laid. There was also deer tracks and you could see where they had slept to. Its amazing to be able to see all kinds of animal tracks when it snows. Without the snow we would have never seen any tracks and would not even know how many animals come walking, hopping or strolling through our yard !!!! We have even been talking about getting a Critter Cam to see them, I think it would be pretty cool, because some of the tracks we cant find out what they are and some start and stop out of no where...
Happy to say that we ended up having a great adventure behind out house and trucking through the snow, but sad to say no tree was found... Latter that night we FOUND one at the store and brought it back home :)
Our Imagination got us into yet another fun Adventure !
