Working outside all weekend long

This weekend we had many goals. We got one done, which was to modify the bike cart we had bought for Bella well over a year ago, which she is unable to ride in because it doesn't support her enough. We were able to add a plastic seat in it, which allows for more stability. We had plans to take a family bike ride together, but our yard had other plans for us.

We started to trim the trees in our yard. In our 1.5 acre yard full of trees. Jesse used a chain saw, and pole saw to cut away at the overgrowth. And I used a wagon to pull the branches to the curb (which was uphill). Jesse got to pull the extremely large branches, which were too big for the wagon. Here is a picture of Colby posing in front of the cut limbs.
The pile only includes the trees trimmed from the back yard and one side. We still have 4 very large oak trees in the front yard, that look like the one below. And some additional maple trees on our other side to trim yet.
And we have to get it all finished up by this Friday morning at 8 am, when the city comes to pick all of the limbs up. That or, we can have enough firewood for years to come in our fire pit.
