So it wasn't quite like 'Roughing it' but it sure felt like it. Brooke and I and a few of my friends decided to chop a Christmas tree down for my place. My friend Ryan has a summer cabin up by Flaming Gorge and I say summer cabin since it wasn't intended for winter use. By the time we got up there the thermostat read 18 degrees. Yikes! We froze for a few hours 'til the fire started to heat things up. By the time we got ready for bed we got the temperature up to 70. Thank heavens for fire places. Anyway, my friends cabin is this cute 'Little House on the Prairie' style that is perfect for weekend getaways. We slept really well, though some of us said they were too hot - Brooke. Can you believe Brooke was the one that was too hot? Saturday morning (more like mid-morning :-/) we made ourselves a hearty breakfast of hot oatmeal. Breakfast of champions! We drove up the canyon a ways up and found a pull-off where we could see some trees that looked ripe for the cutting. So like any well planned trip we couldn't make our minds up to which way to start. 
We got our heads together and finally found one that was perfect. We've become pretty lazy in our old age. We cut the tree down and dragged it about 100 feet to where we had the truck waiting. I know it doesn't sound so adventurous but it got the job done. We found another tree for Ryan and did the same thing, dragged it to the truck.
After our fun adventure into the woods we went back to the cabin where we made some pretty kicking nachos. Look at the pictures and try to say they aren't the best. You can't can you?
The tree cutting adventure was fun but was short lived since we came back Saturday night. Hope you guys can top this little outing. I'll be watching your blogs. Sincerely, the blog experts
Well - Brooke is a hottie - but you are very aware of that! ;)
