Christmas Tree Hunting with the Witters and the Murrays!
Evidently, Lowe's is not where Christmas trees grow.
I have always gone to the nearest tree lot, Lowe's or Walmart for my tree. Since I made Nevada my home I have discovered this magical place called the forest. I did not know of such a place, did you? Apparently what you are supposed to do is take the short trek to the forest and cut your own. This was news to me and for the third year that's exactly what we did.
This time around was a little different. We went on our hunting expedition with the Murrays and the Witters. It was lots of fun having them there and nice to have other men there to help each other with tree carrying duty.
MJ is totally stoked because Dad let him drive the back roads.
Mark choosing out his weapon of choice for the hunt!
There was another difference this year, no snow!

| Last year, Mark had to haul the tree about a mile to the truck. This was after he carried MJ and the Chain saw |

| This year the tree was conveniently located next to the road! |
And here it is. It's a beauty!
Time to get to work!
This is what was going on while Mark and Randy were hunting trees.
Kristen read a story to the kids. She found the book just laying on the ground.
The Men have returned victorious so time to eat!
And have a little camp fire with our hot dogs!
We didn't have a permit for one either.
Family time and some relaxation.
Well, that was our day in the forest. Big thanks to the Witters and the Murrays for making it so much fun!
p.s. Yes, I was there too. Pictures don't take themselves!
