Sean and kristin's Tree hunt

Sean and Kristin Drew's 1st Christmas Tree outing @ Bacon's Tree Farm off Old Belfair HWY 12/01/2007










Hey everyone,

Sean and I just got home from getting our first Christmas Tree. We went to Bacon's Tree Farm off Old Belfair HWY. We had a great time and wanted to share some of our picutes with you all.
We were so excited to go find our tree, after Sean grabbed a saw we were off! We ended up walking all over the tree farm and we are almost convinced that we may have actually cut a tree
from Zurn's, which is right next door! We were in the back 40, the Boonies, In the middle of Nowhere! Finally we found the perfect tree that met both our desires. Sean cut it down and the
journey began back to the headquarters to purchase the most beautiful tree ever! We must have been about a mile out...at least it felt like it! Sean took a "short cut" up a really steep hill
and then I helped him out the rest of the way. Half frozen we arrived at the designated area and had our tree measured and it was time to pay. We had been so excited to get started that we
had forgoten to check the price list before we went and cut our tree. Opppps! But we were in the clear..kinda. Our tree was a $1.80 more than what we had. Sean always has spare
change in his car and we were safe! Our tree is now home and soaking wet! We left it outside for about 1/2 hour and then brought it in and set in our livingroom with towels under it! I will
decorate it in a few days after it is fully dry!

Thought it would be nice to share our fun day with everyone!
Love you all.
Merry Christmas, The Drews...Sean and Kristin

Almost the whole time Brian (aka Eric) and Ricci were at home we would go to Bacon Farms for our Christmas trees each year. The rule was everyone had to help in cutting down the tree. Dad would usually, until the kids got a little older, do the lion’s share of it but we all had to help. The price for years was one price, I think $7.00 for any tree less than 6 ft. tall. The owners were a very cut but ancient couple and each year they would give you direction of what to put into the water to make the tree last longer. Good memories for me, glad you get to add a similar one to your. Love, Cheri
