Getting ready for the adventure.
For $10 we bought a permit to head into the woods and find a tree. Once we arrived, everyone took to the hills.
Lucy and I found ours pretty quick as Edie had fallen asleep in the car on the way. Turned out to be a gift to us all as the snow was fairly deep and fluffy. Edie never would have been able to walk in it and I'm pretty sure we wouldn't have been able to manage carrying her.
My brother Tim, Karen, Elijah and Isaac looking for their tree.
It was so light, Lucy was able to drag it down the mountain.
And just as we were looking in the back of the car for anything to slide on, the other family looking in the same spot offered us their sleds. We ended up sledding with their kids for the next 2 hours.
Uncle Tim helped build a new run in nice fluffy snow. He went on FOREVER!!
We managed to catch a picture of all of us. It was a spectacular day with great temperatures.
Truly one of the most fun things we've done and we all look forward to it being a new family tradition. Although I forsee the tree hunt lasting longer as those with opinions get older.
