When I woke up Saturday morning, I found Brock outside trying to cut this little dead branch off of this skinny but tall tree in our back yard. He was using a long pole with a saw at the end that he borrowed from a lady he works with. I went outside to help him, but we decided we should take a picture, so I went to get the camera. I took the picture and went inside again to get a drink. While I was gone, he cut the branch off, lost his balance, and...
fell out of the tree to his death.
Actually he didn't really fall (he just pretended for the picture), but I did come back outside to him hugging the tree because when the branch came off, the ladder slid, and he lost his balance. After I helped him down, he did the same thing to another tree. That time I stayed with him to make sure he didn't fall. Well I stayed near him, but I didn't really want to stand under a falling branch and a long pole with a saw at the end of it.
He was glad to finally get those branches cut off. They've been bugging him since we moved in. I was just glad that he didn't die.

2 questions...would your arm REALLY do that if you fell? ALSO why, oh why, would you wear flip flops whilst climbing a big ole ladder. That is just laughing in the face of danger...
I need a bigger picture of you back yard. Your tress look like they are randomly in your yard. Why were the branches bugging him?
I'm so glad Brock is still with us! Is that your yard? It looks like a big fun yard! Lucky girl!
Ha ha! I laughed so hard as I read this...thanks for the good laugh! You guys are having so much fun setting up house. And...yes, I barely cut my hair and I LOVE it!
Good joke! You had me going there for like 3 seconds. haha
I love you back yard! It looks so big. Also, that is so something Brock would do.
Brock - this is Casey and I have to tell you...I would have done the same thing. No task too big to try and tackle yourself! Way to go!
