Yesterday we had to cut down three dead tress in our yard. We had to cut them down because they were dead and in the power lines. The first one my dad cut down easily, but it was not until we got to the next tree that hings got hard. We had only planned on this lasting about 3 hours. Well we guessed wrong there. The next one was a gigantical. There was about 10 branches coming off of the main truck that split in two. This was hard to ct down cause there were so many branches and stuff. We took it peace by peace. My mom, Rachael, and I had to pull against it, so that it would not go into the power lines. The power lines were a pain in the butt because any way we wanted to go with the tree this tall it would hit the power lines. My dad could not climb any farther up without falling out of the tree. Now we had a HUGE problem. We decided to tie the rope to my mom's pick-up. My dad told my mom when to pull and to just stay. Then I was not paying attention and the next thing I know I heard KABOOM!! I turned around and the tree was down. By this time it was about 7:00. So we did not get the third tree cut down. Now until my parents clean my yard up, my house looks like a tree house.
I was really mad that my dad cut down my favorite tree in the yard. That tree had a lot of memories! Like last year we tied a car seat to the tree and hung in it. It was AMAZING!! Then we built this wooden swing, (well i guess you could call it a swing) and we hung it in there. My sister and I were scared to see if it would fall, so we made my brother swing in it first. Everything was going good and then all of a sudden it fell. It was HILARIOUS!!! I about died laughing. My brother was ok too. My sister and I never sat in that swing! That tree was also very good for shade. I was really looking forward to trying some dumb idea for that tree and hurt my brother again.......I mean to swing in again!
I'm glad the other tree was cut down cause it not good! i was a piece of crap. One of the only reasons i do not like it might be because i alway run in to it when I play football or soccar with my brother! Now the only thing I have to worry about running in to is the stump, and the other trees in my yard!
My yard is way more open without those trees. I am happy but sad. The reason I am happy is because of running into the tree, and that it is more open. I am sad because of the shade, and all of the memories. There were good times with the trees and bad times with the tree. My mom and dad always laughed at me though when I came inside bleeding from falling on the tree.
