Hunting for a Christmas Tree

The story of the perfect tree...
We headed out for the 2nd annual Christmas tree hunt, this year we bought a permit and went out to Kananaskis. The Moore family & Justin & Crystal joined us. Justin & Crystal, with no kids in tow, found their tree in record time & headed back to the city before we could even snap a picture of them. The rest of us made an afternoon of it, traisped around the woods and enjoyed some lunch & hot chocolate. We found what we think are some great looking trees, we'll see in a couple days when they are all decorated. The kids were troopers, walking through the woods with no complaints, until a little hunger set in. Katie had her first adventure of going "potty" in the woods - she did great!
Stay tuned for photos of the finished product!
