Quick Trip

We made a quick trip this week to Bear Lake with my folks. They got some wood permits and were nice enough to share so we could stock up on firewood. We got up at 5am on Wednesday morning...wow. So early. We wanted to get a good start so we wouldn't be working in the heat of the day. It was worth it to see the sunrise over the lake on our way to the canyon, though. Luke slowed down just enough for me to snap this photo (which doesn't even do justice to how beautiful it was).


We cut down five trees that were about 70 feet tall. It was so awesome to watch them fall. There was a really cool thunderstorm in the distance while we were working, so between the sound of thunder and trees falling, it was pretty spectacular. It was a lot of work to load them onto the trailer once they were cut up, but well worth it. Especially when I'm sitting in front of a warm fire this winter. Thanks mom and dad-we had a great time!

We had a great time as well. The company was great, the work was hard, but well worth it. The raspberries weren't so bad either. Love you guys.
