KW dad's family cuts down Xmas trees every year on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. This is the first year we have ever gone. Apparently we are not so good at the family tradition stuff. It was a ton of fun and I literally can not wait until next year. Although I am way to lazy for a real tree, it is nice to be with family, and really nice to be in the mountains. Some people probably think I am crazy because I actually enjoyed walking around in the freezing cold for really nothing. We had no intention of getting our own tree. This year the area was on Mirror Lake Highway by Whitney Reservoir. I had never been there in the winter and it was just as pretty under snow as it is in the summer when everything is full of life. The road to get there was so icy it was crazy. There was a huge wreck and a traffic jam because it was so slick you literally could not even walk on the road. There was this little tiny hill and no one could make it up. People had to put chains on and mostly everyone just turned around. Our mini van is a champ! KW just coasted right up the hill with no prob. We were the only two wheel drive vehicle to make it. It was awesome. KW really should be a professional driver. Here are some great pics!
What kids should be doing at 6 in the morning on a Saturday! Especially after being up till after midnight playing with the beer pong adults the night before!
My boys like mornings as much as me!
Stopping for gas before heading up the mountian!
KW showing off his mad sliding skills on the road. He was probably sliding for 30-40 feet at a time. It was crazy slick. He is a sliding champion. KW can not walk on slick surfaces he has to slide. If KW comes to your house during a snow storm I guarantee he will leave slide marks in your driveway!
Lots of random pics from the excursion!
