TIMBERRRR!






Our Family Fun Night was spent working as a team to cut huge dead limbs off a tree at our former residence. It was fun, especially to find out that Scarlett has many times shimmied up into trees in Nicaragua to help her father saw off branches. She was the first and the bravest climber, even though she almost ripped her pretty sweater off trying to swing down off the tree.

In this last picture, Royal is kneeling with his back to us. What's he doing? He is wiring together a tree saw and a long piece of scrap lumber. The makeshift polesaw didn't actually saw anything, but it allowed him to get a great grip on very high dead branches. Then he just pulled them down.
