Bryce was here for a week during Thanksgiving break, so we took a family trip to the Johnson Tree Farm in Boulder Creek. If you have not been there, you should go. They are a delightful, family owned and operated local tree farm. Farmer Ron (Johnson) greeted us as we brought our tree down the hill to the shaking machine. He told us he has been caring for our tree for 7 years and that he had given our tree a "haircut" in January to shape it into its perfect Christmas tree shape. We drank hot chocolate and apple cider near the picnic area and firepit (where you can roast marshmallows). There is a quaint gift shop too in case you need to pick up any more holiday decorations. And we took a hayride up the hill, led by our very own neighbor and hayride conductor Tim Folkert!
