Christmas trees

Last year we went with Cody's family to cut down Christmas trees. This year my family decided to continue that tradition but we decided to go the Saturday before Thanksgiving instead of the Saturday after Thanksgiving so that we can go to the Christmas parade the Saturday after Thanksgiving. We drive up past Evanston to the Wasatch National Forest and we buy passes and then go hike out into the forest to find the perfect Christmas tree to chop down. Unfortunately both years that we have gone Adam has had to work so I was on my own. Last year was pretty scary because the road was really icy and cars were sliding everywhere this year its wasn't really too icy except for when we got into the parking lot where we buy our passes. Right after we drove into the parking lot my car started to slide on the ice I thought that I was going to run into some rocks but luckily we stopped soon enough to miss them.We always take family pictures when we get up into the trees and since Adam had to work these two had to fill in as my family.This is me carrying my tree after we chopped it down.Whitney missed the memo that the green coat people were getting their picture taken.We had to stop for some Wendy's after all our hard work of cutting down the trees.
