What a wonderful World.

On Saturday Ben and the kids and I all went up to the top of Munson Creek. It was a fascinating drive with Phenomenal views. We love to use our wood heat, so then we aren't paying a fortune to heat our home and I just love the feel of the wood heat. It gets kind of expensive though if you can't chop your own wood. ( like last year when we had to buy all of our wood) so either way it costs a lot of money. So this year we wanted to be a little more cost efficient when it came to heating our house for the winter, we got some nice friends that have access to the forest, and a chainsaw, and borrowed a truck(so we could each drive one) and head to chop wood ourselves. Okay so it was a lot more work, but totally worth it. I took tons of great pictures cause I just couldn't resist. Ben thought I was a little bit nuts, but who knows if I would ever make it up there again.

Here are the Briggs and Allysen wondering through the woods.
Briggs is watching Daddy get the chainsaw ready(he was so mad that he couldn't have one too).
The view from where we were.
Ben hard at work logging the forest...just kidding!!

The view from the road. You can see the Air Museum. It is a little to the right in the middle of the photo. It is really rusty.

aw man. I love the smell of fresh cut trees and the smell of chainsaw exhaust and the smell of a wood stove and the sight of clean air. *
The grammatical errors were noticed but ignored, THATS how much I miss them!
