Tree climbers

Yesterday we had some guys come and trim the branches on a really old maple tree in our yard. It is probably 90-100 years old and needed some cleaning up. Griffin got to watch part of the work from his chair on the deck. This is the cherry picker truck that they had hoped to use. They couldn't reach the tree so one guy climbed up the tree and was suspended by all of these ropes.


It was pretty crazy to see how high he was climbing. And he had a chainsaw in his hands the whole time.
This is the guy on a limb that extends halfway across our yard and hangs over our deck.

Swinging from the trees.
This is just a small portion of the tree that made its way to the wood chipper.
