Big Toys!

We rented a cat, crawler, or bulldozer, if you prefer, to do some heavy duty work on the property. We cleared a lot of brush and hawthorn trees from the property. Monty was able to create several roads for the quads around the perimeter and throughout the property. Unfortunately, I don't have pictures of him on the beast, and he did all the scary work! I stayed on level ground, too afraid to do anything else. Moroni spent hours on the thing and did work on flat and sloped areas. Monty did the most daring things, making roads where there were none, removing stumps, clearing rocks, etc. We were able to discover some really neat areas of the property that we had never been able to access before. I'll try to post pictures of those at a different time.





It's a good thing that dozers have hand controls so that six year-olds can operate them!

Eli wants to know if Hyrum has been taught how to drive a bulldozer (you know, so he can find out who to call so HE can learn!). Ha ha! The kids loved it. Not many nearly seven-year-olds have driven one of those. Too cute!
