Oh, Christmas Tree!

This year we decided to get a christmas tree permit and go find one in the woods. The day was absolutely beautiful. We hiked about a mile and half before we found the perfect tree, at least we thought it was perfect. I kept telling Mitch "remember however far we hike up the mountain we have to hike back down." Lets just say he was a little tired when we got back down the mountain and actually admitted to me that maybe we walked a little far.


Daddy and Clare already for our hike!
Mitch sent me down a ravine to look at a tree since Clare was on his back.

We finally found the tree.


Mitch working hard.

Clare chilling in the backpack.
The dog was even tired from the trek up.

Here we are before the hike up the 10 ft embankment to get to the trail.

Clare was pooped from all the excitement.

Still sleeping while we ate our lunch.

It was a gorgeous day. We will definitely be coming here in the Spring to do the full hike.

Mitch working so hard putting up the lights.
Clare hung out in the exer saucer while we decorated the tree.
