Our main mission today was to help Gabe and Sam find a Christmas tree. It turns out that you can apply online to be able to go and cut your own tree anywhere in the Oregon wilderness for five dollars…
We selected a dead in dirt road somewhere near Mount Hood. We paid our feet and print it out certificate… Then we went to a fabulous used to store and got the cheapest single use bow saw you ever saw
We drove about an hour up into the rainforest and boy was it raining… We were all pretty well dressed for the weather so it was a gorgeous hike
We were soaked pretty well through when we got to the point we had to turn around for time… We had movie reservations in the evening.
We spent a very wet 30 minutes looking around for the perfect tree… They were all pretty small and uneven… But we finally settled on a cute one
It was pretty small and spindly so we actually crammed into the car with us… No small feat for four people and a fairly large dog
As we were driving out we noticed a stand a much larger and much fuller trees… So we stop there and cut down another one which is fully 10 feet tall… It’s gorgeous… And we tried that one to the roof so with two trees and toe… We headed back to Portland… Soaking wet but happy.
Got home with just enough time to untie the trees put them in the backyard and change into dry clothes so that we could drive to the movie theater… It was an amazing place. Tickets were no more expensive than a normal movie theater but you got to sit in these wonderful lounging sofas and order food and drinks… We had these great snacks and great drinks…. The movie was the new Sequel to Ghostbusters. Which was actually pretty good. It had some great effects and great characters… Dan Aykroyd, Phil Murfet and Eddie Hudson were there… They even had the spirit of Harold Ramis… Even though he died in 2014 he was digitally put back in as a ghost… Very effective. Sigourney Weaver even made a small cameo. I really like the movie… And I loved the company and the place we were watching it
I just got home happy entire… Gabe and sam just cut the tree to put it in the stand… I think we’re going to start decorating it in a little bit. I want to blog before I fell asleep though
