Stump hunting

I've been dreaming of getting these for a year and a half. Thanks to my brother-in-law Mac and his chainsaw skills I finally got them!  Bracken, Mac, Brooke, Foster, Neve & I set out on the Ranger to find a tree that had fallen over but hadn't started decaying yet.  Brooke took pictures of the process so I'll have to steal them from her at some point. I know they don't look like much sitting in my garage but they are going to be pretty amazing end tables, or I might make them nightstands...haven't decided yet.  Now that I've posted it on here, hopefully I'll finish this project a bit faster. They made our car smell like an aspen forest on the way home. Love that smell.
Hayes as a 2nd generation gate opener. He was begging to be the gate opener. As a teenager,
 he'll fight with his siblings over not being it. Same as when I was growing up.

I love escaping to the mountains.

My Dad, aka Grandpa Dane,  who has instilled a love of Kanerra Mountain in his children and now his grandchildren.

Only downside is I think a small mountain animal got stuck in our car air conditioning unit.  At least that's my best guess as to the culprit of a loud popping noise and sudden dead animal reek-age coming from the a/c as I was driving home from church today. Driving home without A/C in 110 degree weather was unpleasant but not as unpleasant as that smell! Hopefully we can get it fixed tomorrow!
