Christmas Tree "Shopping"

Weekend before last we went Christmas tree "shopping." For us this means buying our $5 permit and heading out into the National Forest and chopping one down! Here are some pics:

Starting out!

Picking the perfect tree to take home:

Crossing the creek on the way back. If you look hard you can see Buck getting down crossing the creek with the tree. Then Hyat and made our way...

I am glad we went when we did. If we had waited another weekend there would have been significantly more snow to contend with! And our tree looks great and the best part is our house smells like Christmas now!
