Another xmas tree from the national forest–best yet?

Here are some pictures from Friday’s xmas tree hunt, a la Chevy Chase’s classic. It snowed on us just the right amount to improve the experience, coating the forest roads with a few inches, but not so much that we got stranded way out in the middle of nowhere. This year’s tree is quite nice, maybe our best yet. The kids are getting old enough to actually decorate properly and seem to really enjoy it. I got to wield the Katana Boy while drinking a beer in the snow and cold, and slide around some snowy roads in the mountains, so I was definitely happy.

    Love the pictures! It’s so much fun to see the boys growing up 🙂 Your tree is GORGEOUS!

We’re a homeschooling family in Los Alamos, New Mexico, hoping to give our boys a love for the great outdoors and provide them with skills they’ll enjoy for life. When it comes to camping, we are experts at getting off the beaten path, away from crowded campgrounds.  And adventuring to us can be as simple as checking out a local park or as ambitious as hiking a Colorado 14’er.
