Boys Love Big Toys

We have had guys cleaning power lines on our land. We have seen this machine down the road parked but never in action. When everyone got home from school today Brad came in and asked us all if we wanted to go see them working because they were on our land...we all agreed real quick! It was neat to see it work and the boys loved it...expecially Carson! It is a machine with a long arm that cuts down tree limbs that might possibly fall on our power lines. And since we are such a rural area...when the power goes out, who knows when it will come back on.

See the large blade as it goes down the power line cutting the limbs... Carson loved this big machine. He kept asking if he could get on it but we kept telling him wait until the workers left and then we would go check it out. He was so excited to get up close and personal with it! Look how big this blade is... My favorite 4 boys...

Everyone has to have a turning "driving" this big machine...Here is Gage-Man

Then Carson Henry... Ummmm Toby was NOT going to be left out of all this fun! And neither was Bradley... Look at how sharp it cuts the tree limbs. See how even and nice the light line looks now. Brad is extremely happy because now he doesn't have to do this! There is a deer stand right in the middle of this light line and you can see forever when the limbs are cut back. Usually I have to drive along in the big truck or the golfcart as he wacks away at the limbs...but not this year! Too bad this big machine will be finishin up today on our farm...it was fun to watch (and play on!)
