Cutting Our Own Christmas Tree

So there is a program in CA for 4th graders called every kid in a park. The program allows 4th graders to register for a pass to get entry into all national parks across the US for free for one year. With this pass you are allowed to get a free permit in participating national parks to cut down your own holiday tree. We saw this as a once in a life time opportunity that we should take advantage of, little did we know that it would be the biggest mission since changing the manifold gasket in Shelly's car! The struggle was real but we ended up with a beautiful tree straight from the snowy mountains of the Sequoia National Forest.
