The Allen's were in town last week and I invited Mac and Alyssa to help in the dreaded "tree" project. They have never done it before and didn't know what to expect. I was up early walking at 5:30 am, cuting down limbs at 6:30 am and we finally finished about 9:30 am. Mac has only used power tools in the past, so I had to teach him how to use a "hand" saw and he got very good.

Once done with the hard work we had lunch and off shopping that afternoon. By the time we were all done I was exhausted, even if they were just getting started. It was a fun day with my grandkids, daughter, and spouse. It was a lot harder shopping then trimming the tree.

Glad someone else got to have "fun" with you!
How fun! I love how everyone works on the "tree project" when they visit!
The "tree project" can go on forever-or at least till we move. The trees grow fast here. The shopping was in a.c. and a lot more fun. The grandkids even stayed within budget for shoes and found jeans for only $10.00 each. A great day for all involved. WE DO ENJOY CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN VISITING.
I distinctly remember NOT liking doing yard work with dad growing up, but I think the grandkids have a much better time. It's a great bonding time for them. And yes, shopping was much more fun!
