Lumberjack Len & Joel Bunyan

My parents are in town and have been hard at work at their house. Joel and my Dad spent part of Friday and all day Saturday cutting down trees and then loading up the truck and trailer with brush to be hauled away. It was a beautiful day to be outdoors working, and boy, did we work!

I think Joel and my Dad were having way too much fun with the chainsaws!


The brushpile.

The kids were having a lot of fun playing in this huge pile.

This was the 3rd of 4 total loads that Joel hauled away. The guys were exhausted by the end of the day.

Izzy... don't worry, they were being supervised!

Eli... He had a blast following Joel & Dad around.

After working on the yard of their house all week, my parents were pleased with how everything looks. It's a work in progress, but it's looking good. Here's a view of the front porch.

Love seeing your family. You said "their house"... does that mean your parents are moving to Michigan?! My mom is coming to visit this weekend. Very excited to be seeing her.
