Cutting the Cherry Tree

Todd and my dad figuring out how to use the chainsaw to cut down the last few parts of the cherry tree.

When my sister called and asked if all the family wanted to get together one last time before she left for California, I said sure. I should have asked what she had in mind before being so agreeable. Jody said that she thought cutting down the dead cherry tree in my grandma's back yard would be a great way to spend this time. What can I say to that. It's that trap I often spring on my children. You don't want to because you have plans for the weekend, but you know it's the right things to do. So after muttering an "Oh crap," I gathered my family and we went off to chop down a cherry tree. And no, I am not telling a lie.
