Tree Down!
Utah had an East wind blow through and it was a strong wind.  The Bountiful area had hundreds of trees blow down.  Big beautiful 30 yearish old pine trees.
 
The Frog's (aka. Grandma and Grandpa Larsen) had one of their big pine trees blow down also.
 
So in good ol fashion family togetherness. We met on Sunday and cut that baby into pieces.  Rocket and Grandpa ran chain saws.
 The tree was wedged against another tree and had to be cut so it would come all the way down!
Kevin, Jamie and Adam ran a limb chipper and managed to chip up a huge pile of limbs.  Garrett, Myself and Frog helped where ever help was needed.
Tom and Arial are digging the tree root out.
In two hours we cut up the tree, chipped up the limbs, filled Rocket's truck full of wood, swept up the yard and dug up the trunk.  Then Froggie fed us dinner.
It was a good evening!

I think you guys had to do that same thing at your own house this past year as well. You've had lots of practice, lets hope it doesn't happen again soon.

Dang girl, you have a good memory! Again, angels guided that tree to a safe landing. Not on the house, fence or the neighbors.
