A Tree of Our Own

Nov 29

Nate really wanted to cut down our own tree this year. After I got off from work, I hopped in the car and we drove up Dry Fork canyon. He had to get a permit to cut one. 

 We hiked down a ravine and wandered closer to the dried up riverbed in search for the right tree. By the time we found it, it was nearly dark. Nate was enjoying himself. I, on the other hand, was a little afraid of getting lost and stuck out there. I wanted to get back to the car to be warm. 

We picked the fullest tree we could find and Nate chopped it down.

Luckily Nate had a flashlight so we could find our way back to the car. Then Nate plopped it on the car and strapped it down.

 We headed back, trimmed it and set it up in our living room.

There are two bald spots in the tree...so I got creative and took the top, split it in two and tied them into the tree.
