"The Tree Hunt"

Last weekend as you know we met with friends and the

kids to hunt for Christmas Trees. We took off Friday

afternoon and road the snowmobiles in, it was raining,

but not bad. Chris and Glenda came up later that night

and we had dinner together. "Hot Dogs and Chilly Beans"

Their cabin is just before ours on the same road.

Saturday we got to sheep in "It was wonderful"

JS took the sled and packed the trail around the cabin,

to make it easier to get around.

I took these pictures of the out side to give you an

idea of the snow, about 4 ft.

Like the steps JS cut in with the shovel.

That's my ride, "Big 800"

Only Daughter Dawn and

Perfect Son-In-Law Cory came up for the day

"ON THE HUNT"

JS took off on a trail, ???( it's a man thing), so while we

were waiting for him Chris bagged this bad boy.

You might notice that Chris likes the camera!

Later in the day Dawn and Cory had to go home.

We went with them back to the staging area and

helped them get loaded up.

After the kids left Glenda, Chris, JS and I

went for refreshments.

We went back to the cabins, the guys took off on a cross

country tree hunt.

Glenda, Bonnie and I stayed to fix dinner and stoke the

fire. We had a great evening with them.

Sunday we packed up and (drained the water lines !)

headed to town to go home.

While we were loading, I had a nice surprise, my two

cousins Lloyd and Dennis and their families had

come to La Porte to play in the snow and fine

Christmas Trees.
