Cutting Christmas trees

Usually we cut Christmas trees on the Friday or Saturday following Thanksgiving, but the weather was so wet and miserable on Friday and our family left for Island Park on Saturday, so our forest venture had to wait until the first weekend of December.

 The crew looking for trees by the quarry.


Rebekah with our tree. She picked it out, and it fit perfectly in our living room corner.

 Seth hauling the tree.

Our tree, Seth, Winnie, Rebekah, Analee and Miriam head back down the trail. 

Winnie offering snow to Oakley (she was eating as much as she could) while Uncle T and Grandpa Scott search for their trees. 

Rebekah driving the four-wheeler with the tree, Analee and Seth riding. 

Seth hauling Aunt McKall, Uncle T, Winnie, Miriam and Bennet down the hill. Miriam and Bennet played with the walkie-talkies the rest of the way to Grandma's house where we ate lunch and drank hot chocolate together.
