Trees

My mom had some trees cut down at her house today. We went over to watch. Claire said it was too loud for her so she played in the house, perfectly happy to not have her brother there bothering her. Joey and I spent a good portion of the day outside watching and helping. Joey climbed this tree which was severely pruned.

And helped this man clean up. Who can be first to name this guy?

The only reason that man got to finish what he was doing was because Joey found a worm.

Later in the afternoon, Joey got pretty tired. He was too tired to pose by this bird nest that we found (unoccupied, thankfully).

The arborist got shocked while cutting down the big cedar in front. It was pretty bad. He screamed. All his muscles tensed and he couldn't let go. After 2-3 seconds he was able to let go and the saw fell to the ground and then he fell out of the tree. We were all relived when he stood up and we saw that he was OK. It was pretty scary.

Here's a video of the spruce coming down.
