Tree Hunting

Yesterday we went to mom and dads to find a tree. They wouldn't let us have one out their many trees in the yard, so dad told us to follow him, that he would show us where we could find us a tree. He took us out on Boulder, we went about 100 yrds from the truck when Jayden found a good looking tree, but no we didn't take it yet, we hiked and looked around a little more but didn't find anything better. The only thing we found was an ice covered creek which Sadie had to step on and fall through. We circled back around and took the tree Jayden found. She did the cutting of the tree.
We couldn't find a good one for mom and dad, so we loaded up and drove up the mountain looking. We stopped several times and looked. Dad got out and walked up the little hill to look. This is him walking back to us.
Still didn't find one. So off we go again. We looked and looked, we found a big group of trees up a hill. We walked around and looked. After awhile we separated and looked around.
I found a tree for them and this is how mom makes her decisions on if the tree will work for her. She had Sean and Jayden hold down a few branches while she backed up and looked it 0ver.
She decided against it. She decided on one that her and Jay found. They cut it down together, even though mom tried to cut off Jays finger accidently. ( only a flesh wound) Here are some other pic from tree hunting.
