Some friends graciously invited us to join them to cut down a Christmas Tree at a local Christmas Tree Farm in the Santa Cruz Mountains. We went to Hastings Christmas Tree Farm. It was a nice family operation.

Yee Haw! Taking the curve! Pony Rides were $5 for 60 seconds! I am surprised they didn’t charge of for Ellie too.
