Cherry Tree Pruning

After a fabulous breakfast with amazing friends, and a chapter of The Magicians Nephew our crazy family went to our friends house to prune their cherry tree (in return we get yummy cherries). We had a day filled with chainsaws, falling branches, stick fights, knives, small handsaws, and Miss Mady Kay with a pointy stick... see where I'm going. My dad watched some videos and read some books on pruning trees, and then we were off! When we arrived we got out all the sharp pointy objects we had brought to help us in taking down this tree. 


Now we are ready to start! Dad explains that he will teach us what to do, as soon as he figures out  what he's doing...


Jordan: Ok that one...
Dad: No that one...
Me:(in my head) Ok I'm lost... 












As we continue dad prepares us to take down a large tree limb.





This branch was quite stubborn
 and insisted to stay in the tree.


But we won =*)

And Mady Kay... Well all she wanted to do was play with all the sharp tools. So she proceeded to make that sharp stick I told you about, a "bow" and "arrows", and saw the tree into small pieces...









Then after about two hours the parents slowly lost us to our wandering minds...
(See who knows what evil plans he has for our poor dog!)
And here I am wishing everyone love after I became bored of cutting our friends tree in to pieces!**
