Christmas tree hunting

This year we went to go cut down our own christmas tree... from the forest. We bought a permit and went up to Kelly Canyon. It was 5° when we got there. BRRRR!! We ended up seeing five moose too (two of them were bulls.) We knew the moose were near but we didn't know how close, so we decided to walk up a hill and see. Almost as we were reaching the top of the hill, McKay and Braiden (who were in front) started screaming and running back down the hill. Thinking the moose were charging us, the rest of us started running for our lives back down the hill. Apparently once Mckay got to the top of the hill, McKay was 20ft away from all of the moose. But when we ran away so did the moose (in the opposite direction.)


"No Jason, not THAT tree!"


The first kill of the day...


They call me Paul Bunyan!

I miss that. There aren't any pine trees here to cut down. If you want one, you have to buy a dry one for $40!
