Bonfire Day ...

March 29, 2016
It was the perfect day to burn the slash pile ...
the kids were digging up gopher holes while waiting for Grandpa ...
to finish making a fire break ...
The boys and Grandpa lit the match to get this fire going ...
James and Ella taking a break from riding their quads ...
watching the fire burn ...
Nathan was busy cutting the limbs off the trees ...
so they could be thrown on the pile ...
The kids had a blast with Grandpa giving them a ride in the tractor ...
Mike was determined to finally get this old stump to the fire ...
Mike put a chain around it and started pulling it out of the bush ...
He then pushed it onto the road ... and Craig decided to stand on top of it before Grandpa ...
latched onto it ...

The stump was dragged out into the field ...

and push up onto the burn pile ...

It is going to take days for that huge stump to burn down into ashes ...

  1. It is always so much fun to ride in the tractor and put in for bunch of brush that's been piled up to a fire. Then you probably have a chance to roast wieners marshmallows later in the day around fire! I am sure everybody had a really good time. You've taken some really wonderful photos to share.
