Tree Cutting

On Saturday, June 18, we had a bunch of people over to help us cut down a bunch of trees. We also had a HUGE pile of junk at the back of our yard that needed to be burned, so Russ started that fire, and that is where all the branches from the cut trees went.
A huge thanks to all who showed up to help. Dad and Mom Lotterman, Keith, Ryan, Phil and Emily, Cornelis and Jared, Ethan, Kylar, Kyndra, Ashlinn and Ethan and Katrina. We really appreciate all you did to help, whether it was watching the kids, folding my laundry, or driving the tractor, we couldn't have gotten finished with all that we got finished with, without all of you!! The biggest accomplishment of the day was cutting down the row of HUGE pine trees on the west side of our property. It's so much brighter in the house now, without the trees blocking the sun! I'll post a few pictures of the fun we had. Enjoy!

If you look closely you will see Ryan in the tree! He had the job of tying the rope
to the tree to help with pulling it down. Thanks Ryan!!



The boys had a lot of fun pulling on the rope to topple each tree.
