We decided to head up to the mountains this year and cut down a Christmas tree. This is the fourth year we have cut down a tree since we moved to Boise. The Morris's joined us this year. We had a great time, and there was a lot of snow! We pulled off the road past Moore's Mountain pass, and trudged through the snow out into the wilderness. After hiking a 1/2 mile or so, we found the tree. After lugging it back to the car, we ate lunch and went sledding. It was a great winter outing!
We have also received quite a bit of snow so far in Boise. Unfortionately, most of it has melted at this point, but Bogus Basin was able to open for Thanksgiving, which is a first since we have lived in Boise.
