Annual Tree Hunt

Well hello all!

We did our fabulous tree hunt up North. Reed was able to break away from work and take us to the Jarman family cabin/house. 

We had the pleasure of having Nana join our tradition. She was a great help in the wilderness, where I usually ditch Reed and go back to the car with the kiddos- but not this time, thanks to her.

We drove up on Saturday right after Reed got back from the Grand Canyon, business trip. 

We had a joyous comfy drive; so thankful for hubbies driving skills! I even got to enjoy the DVD player and Monsters Ink

We made a quick stop at my little brother Isaac's in law's home.  His wife Hannah spoke highly of me and my new foot zone skill's; so we swung by and hung out for a couple hours and gave Lori a zone.

Then, we continued on to the Infamous Pinedale cabin/house; it was fun enjoying the chilly weather and the warm fireplaces there.

We then went into town to enjoy a Mexican Treat at a fun local restaurant, in Showlow.  It really was a loud, easy going environment for a family.  Nana Jarman truly spoiled us this trip.

The following day Nana made some Scooby pancakes; like she always does, were a real treat.  And enjoyed each others company over puzzles and games.

Around lunch time we decided to head back to the valley and find a tree on our way.  We got a Subway sandwich, which daddy allowed us to eat in the car; rare occasion.

We drove deep into the woods; and drove further on an abandoned road.  Then got all of the babes out.  They all were such good sports trekking around the hills.  Nana was a big help, because I usually turn around and don't actually watch Reed 'cut the tree down', like I experienced this time!

So like usual, Reed always feels inspired to go where no man has gone before; to pick the ultimate tree.

It was fun watching it get cut and carried out by Reed.  Literally this tree didn't touch the ground.  T

he kiddos and I were so impressed.

The weather was perfect and wasn't to frostyIt was a great time spending with my lovely family!
