ThE BiG TreE

Lunch first, then on to the big tree!
Alexys, Bryson, Michael, Brax, and Mase.
My Aunt Christine and Uncle Wayne (and a bunch of their Grandkids), my Mom and Kyarra, and my boys and I went to the Big Tree a couple weeks ago. We had lunch at a cabin then walked to the tree. It was so much fun and the kids loved getting out into the mountains.

I'm not really sure why this BIG TREE is such a BIG DEAL in Beaver, but it is. Don't get me wrong, it's really cool and it is really big, but it's also just a tree. All the 1st or 2nd graders in elementary take a field trip to see the big tree. I remember going, and I remember getting really sick on the bus ride:) I've heard people say this tree is the biggest Ponderosa Pine in Utah, and I've also heard it's the biggest TREE period, in Utah. But I can't find any evidence to back that up. I can't find anything on the Internet about this amazing tree. Sorry Beaver people, I think we just like to make things up sometimes to make ourselves feel special. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but make sure you can prove it!!





We had a blast playing in the water and hanging out with eachother. The tree was pretty cool too:)
