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\u2026\ufffc<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We selected a dead in dirt road somewhere near Mount Hood. We paid our feet and print it out certificate\u2026 Then we went to a fabulous used to store and got the cheapest single use bow saw you ever saw<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We drove about an hour up into the rainforest and boy was it raining\u2026 We were all pretty well dressed for the weather so it was a gorgeous\ufffc\ufffc hike<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We were soaked pretty well through when we got to the point we had to turn around for time\u2026 We had movie reservations in the evening.<\/p>\n

We spent a very wet 30 minutes looking around for the perfect tree\u2026 They were all pretty small and uneven\u2026 But we finally settled on a cute one\ufffc<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It was pretty small and spindly so we actually crammed into the car with us\u2026 No small feat for four people and a fairly large dog\ufffc<\/p>\n

As we were driving out we noticed a stand a much larger and much fuller trees\u2026 So we stop there and cut down another one which is fully 10 feet tall\u2026 It’s gorgeous\u2026 And we tried that one to the roof so with two trees and toe\u2026 We headed back to Portland\u2026 Soaking wet but happy\ufffc.<\/p>\n

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\u2026 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\u2026 We had these great snacks and great drinks\u2026. The movie was the new Sequel to\ufffc Ghostbusters\ufffc. Which was actually pretty good. It had some great effects and great characters\u2026 Dan Aykroyd, Phil Murfet and Eddie Hudson were there\u2026 They even had the spirit of Harold Ramis\u2026 Even though he died in 2014 he was digitally put back in as a ghost\u2026 Very effective. Sigourney Weaver even made a small cameo. I really like the movie\u2026 And I loved the company and the place we were watching it\ufffc<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I just got home happy entire\u2026 Gabe and sam just cut the tree to put it in the stand\u2026 I think we’re going to start decorating it in a little bit. I want to blog before I fell asleep though\ufffc<\/p>\n
