Goin' On A Tree Hunt

What do you get when you have 3 moms, 4 kids, 1 dog and a chainsaw? Why a fun little getaway in Pine, AZ of course. Dawn wanted to cut her own Christmas tree this year. Kristi (Miles' mom) had a friend with a cabin in Pine. Ed had an insane amount of work to do this weekend. So it seemed like a perfect reason to pack up the car and take a road trip up north.


Playing in the cabin. And I use the term "cabin" very loosely. It was a house. A fabulous house. The woman who owns it has it set-up for guests: movies, music, dog food, fire pit, wine - you name it, we had it. It was wonderful and I am very grateful to the woman, who I will probably never meet, that let me sleep in her home.


The boys were in heaven playing pretend in the forest.


Goin' on a bear hunt... we're not scared...


Dawn and her Christmas tree. Pine doesn't exactly have trees fit to be a Christmas tree but we managed to find one that would work. Unfortunately, for her, she did not get to use the chainsaw. The trunk was tiny and it would have been silly. Fun but silly.


Something about a toddler with a saw didn't feel right. But, we needed fire wood and he volunteered.


Only thing not pictured is the large dog on Dawn's lap and the large chainsaw in the trunk. Needless to say, we were cozy but we had a dang good time.
