Cutting firewood

On Sunday we went up to my family's property in Silex, MO to cut up some firewood. If you know me, during the winter I have a fire in my fireplace all day everyday so we always need lots of wood. Well this particular Sunday we also brought up my in laws so they could cut some firewood also. My kids were very excited to have all their grandparents up for the day. We got to the farm early Sunday morning and got to play a little while we were waiting for everyone else to get there. So the kids played down by the creek and threw in some rocks.Then Chris let them have turns riding on the four wheeler with him.We decided to have some lunch when everyone got up there before we began all the hard work. So my mom and dad brought up a little portable grill and Chris' parents brought lots of food to share. So we barbqued up some hot dogs and hamburgers and had us a nice little spread of food to share.The picnic table (you have to work with what you have out in the woods!).Then it was time for desert. So the kids made up some s'mores.

Now its time for work! Here is all the grownups splitting up the wood and the little kids job was to haul the wood to the truck.Once again its time to make my kids earn their keep and put them to work!Loading the wood onto the truck!
Here is Adriana and her grandma's out on a walk.And a picture of all the grandparents and grandkids together in the woods.The drive in the country is so beautiful this time of year so I had to grab a few pictures of the country roads as we were heading home.

We had such an awesome time and can't wait to go again in a few weeks when I have used up all my firewood already!!!!
