Old Tree

We have an old crab apple tree in our yard.  For some time now, the tree has been looking less and less healthy.  

About a year or so ago, I was going to take a picture of Austin.  He wanted to climb in this tree to have his picture taken.  He stepped on a branch and it broke.  

Here we are a few years later, and the tree is still in our yard.  Mike and I were discussing this the other day after school.  Mike was saying that this tree is a real pain to mow around.  I said, it is nothing but truly ugly.  Adam heard all this and asked if he could chop it down.  

We agreed that he could do that.  He got his eye protection and his little ax and went to work on the tree.

I'm sure the tree will not come down quickly at the rate that Adam is going, but it is nice for him to have a project to work on.
