Tree Cutting

Once again we went on our annual tradition of cutting Alpine Christmas trees. Nearly everyone in the family came this year. We missed Mom, Royce and Angie. Thanks to the good turn out of people, everything went smooth and quick. Tyler had some good times playing with his cousins.

The whole drive up to go tree cutting, Tyler kept saying he would or had seen deer and elk in the mountains. Well his dream came true because just before lunch, Clinton's brother Warren found some Elk remains. So Clinton hid behind a tree with the head/antlers and pretended to be a Elk. Tyler was so freaked out that he hid behind Mikey's leg, it was hilarious. Finally when we told Tyler it was daddy, he slowly came out smiling but still a little cautious.
