Tree Fall Down. Bad Tree!

A tree cracked and fell over at my parent's place, on a very windy day.  A few weekends ago we went to visit, with the guys planning to cut down the remainder of the tree.

At some point during the morning, I went outside with Erik and Alex, so we could observe the proceedings.

Here they are, hard at work.  Looking mighty fine too! :)  That hat Dad is wearing is something that we got free from a gas station, years ago.  I think we had several of them at one point.  And that is still the hat Dad wears!

Rob and I had arrived before Arian & Karin, so Mom and I started making muffins.  The last batch came out of the oven while I was outside with the boys, so Mom prepared a snack for the hard-working men.

For lunch we had BBQ'd hamburgers - a delicious treat in December when there is even a bit of snow on the ground!
Here's a picture of Esther - the best I managed on that day, but there's not many pictures of her on this blog!

P.S.  Erik stays over at my parents often, and everytime he visited, he would comment about the tree saying "Tree fall down.  Bad tree".  I haven't heard what his comments are now that the tree is gone! :)
