Finding just the right tree

Since Christmas is almost here, we figured we better go get us a tree - So last weekend we went out searching for just the right one. I was a little weird to be cutting down a Christmas tree in jackets, but nice too. We had a lot of fun. The kids were troopers and did really good hiking around and going up the canyon. There were a lot of bushes and plants they had to weave through to get around and they did awesome. Towards the end Caden was tired and wanted to get carried but he did good for a long time.

Looking for just the right one

That one looks pretty good!

The kids hiking in the little bit of snow there was.

My poor hubby- hes amazing! he just threw Caden up on his shoulders on the way down the mtn. Then grabbed the tree in one arm and the chain saw in the other! Hes awesome!

After we got the tree we went to a cool little place that had hills and stuff the kids liked to climb on and slide down the snow

It was also a great place to do some shooting. Dave brought the guns just in case there was a chance to shoot and the kids were super glad he did. They had a blast shooting.
Caden is pretty proud of his sisters cute pink gun. He didnt care what color it was, he was just glad to be shooting something.

More cutting the tree.

Kaylee shooting her gun. She was learning to aim it and did really good shooting at what she was aiming for.

The kids all lined up while dad had his turn shooting the cute pink gun. :)

Then we broke out the big little gun. Dave little .22 We let the kids shoot it a few times then me and Dave had a turn. We love to shoot this gun.

We had a fun day, and hopefully the kids had a fun day.
