Tree Destruction

Our property has many beautiful trees that we love but some are very close to the house and seem some what dangerous. One in particular was in the front of the house and many of the larger limbs were dead or on their way to dying. So David and I decided for safety reasons to have the tree cut down. I was in the house while they were cutting it down - don't worry, I had Arden safe in her room, away from the cutting! It was amazing to watch them work though and amazing how quickly they got the whole thing down. Once it was cut down there was a bit of a delay in getting the tree out of our front yard - the neighbors however loved this - they thought the tree was a new toy. Here are some pictures of the tree and the kiddos with our dogs:
