The tree must come down

James can't get over the fact that whenever we go to a Campbell event there is always some project that needs to be done. Most of the time though it is not dangerous. This time, however was another story. A 60 foot tree was the target and it had to come down. Margene was so scared she wouldn't even watch at all. I think a lot of prayers were being said by the wives of these crazy gentlemen. We thought for sure one side was going to hit either the house or the playhouse. One side landed in front of the playhouse exactly where they wanted. The other half landed behind the playhouse, totally opposite of the desired landing site. All is good. Nobody got hurt and now there is plenty of firewood to go around. We really got nervous, at one point when Josh told us to get everyone in the basement just in case. Always an adventure! Hilarious!

Last year when we visited Nathan's parents right before xmas, Nathan chopped down a huge tree in their backyard too. I "helped" him (stood around mostly and told him where he dropped tools and told him that I think the tree is going to hit the house a dozen times). It ended up coming down nicely though
