colorado christmas tree

Yesterday the family took a trip to Pickle Gulch Campground to cut down our own tree.  Through the forest service, you can buy a permit for $10 to cut down a tree and help thin out the forest to prevent forest fires.  Two kids, one dog, one red sled, and one tiny saw, we hiked a 1/4 miles to find our authentic colorado christmas tree.  I think we just found a new family tradition.  Once we finish decorating it,  I will post a photo of final project.

The tree actually fell down on Maddie's head. Oops.

Probably my favorite winter photo of Grayson.  Think Patagonia would be interested in this shot?
