Hi-ho-hi-ho it's off to the mountains we go- 2024!
We headed to get our Christmas tree and we decided to switch it up and go Saturday to avoid delays on Sunday. I guess LOTS of people had the idea and the Christmas tree parking lots were packed! We unfortunately had our friends get stuck, which then resulted in us pulling over and the ranger telling us to go and "pick out our tree." What she failed to mention is that she wanted us to get our tree AS FAST AS POSSIBLE. We legit got hollered at, and therefore we had our tree cut down within 10 minutes. We weren't able to play in the snow like we usually did. We also didn't get our hot chocolate! We didn't sled. We didn't throw snowballs. We didn't take our time. SO NEXT YEAR....we will be BBQing and taking our sweet little time since we missed out on that this time.
We did enjoy tubing-and of course on the last run AJ got knocked out of his tube and landed on his back. He was pretty shook up by that.
The adults went out on Saturday night to a distillery and had some pretty yummy food. We were pretty exhausted from the epic day.
On Sunday-Russell and Ryk went to Winter Park and hit the slopes. AJ, Demps and I stayed back and packed up the Airbnb. I was so impressed by AJ and Demps. They were so darn helpful in packing everything in the truck:) Us three, along with Kevin, found a beautiful hiking spot and went on a mile hike. Kevin got exhausted, Dempsey made some fake-AMAZING-snow drinks, AJ was a trooper, and we got some lunch-the other 2 and headed down the mountain.
We got home in time to get the tree up and even got it decorated! For 10 minutes, we were quite proud of the tree that we snagged.
Love this tradition!
