Cutting down the crab apple tree

 The boys really wanted to cut down this crab apple tree, and since it was on our ultimate Frisbee field, we decided to cut it down.  Brooke gave the hand saw to the boys, figuring it would keep them busy for a while.
 After a while Spencer got tired of it, so Brooke pulled out the chainsaw.  The kids all have learned to protect their ears around loud things.
 TIMBER!!!
 The next morning we pulled out the 4-wheeler, and got to work pulling out the stump.  The kids tried to help by pulling on the rope also.  Solayna loved riding on the back of Brooke on the 4-wheeler.

After a while we finally got it up.  It's so nice to have one less tree to worry about, and to have  a bigger playing field.
