christmas tree hunt 2011

this year to find grandpa and grandma a tree we drove up by west piney.  since i was young our good friends the parkers have come with us.  we love to visit with them, and carson loves that they have some boys in the family to play with. 

we walked over to the slide and let the boys have a few turns.  it was pretty steep, and they went pretty fast with the slick snow clothes on.  carson loved to go down on his belly, face first.  aaron liked sending big chunks of snow down, and i thought it looked a little scary.

aaron taking his turn.  it was super fun to watch, he went flying past the end of the slide:)  unfortunately, he is suffering from a soar neck, since his little ride.

after cold feet and two sledding crashes, these boys decided to wait out the rest of the trip in the warm truck.

Thanks for taking pictures. I didn't get a chance too. Thanks also for going with us. It wouldn't be the same if Grandpa and I went alone. Half the fun is watching the kids have fun in the snow.
