Learning to be an Arborist one tree at a time

Our neighbors had a tree that was dying and needed to come down. Mom asked the tree trimmers to remove one of our palm trees that we hated. The palm tree came down in ONE THUD!

We sat outside most of the day and watched them dangle from the big tree, rope off branches, saw and swing the branches safely to the ground. We had hearing protection because it was insanely loud.

That is the tree that is coming down.

The neighbor is giving us a few pieces of the trunk so we can use the nice holly wood for our lathe.

Threshers Rain Delay and Western Night

Emmerson had bad behavior so he stayed home with Daddy. Mommy and I went to see the game but it was paused part way though for a rain delay.

The rain let up for a while but they didnâ€™t prep the field because another band was coming quickly. I wandered around with my friend, Kiersten, and checked out the events for the evening.

Then the rain came backâ€¦.HARD!

We hid under my umbrella as the rain was blowing through the breezeway.

Eventually the rain passed and we visited the ponies.

We also found Phinley walking a pony.

The game was canceled eventually because the field was too wet. Oh wellâ€¦ another game tomorrow!

Vote for Phinley

Mommy is helping to encourage people to VOTE FOR PHINLEY for the Minor League Baseball Mascot of the Year.

We made lots of posters and t-shirts for the event.

We also voted a LOT online.

Phinley came is a very close second place in the contest but we had a lot of fun working on his campaign.

I finished up all the Harry Potter books in the last 30 days and as a reward Mommy was going to take me to a huge library event for Harry Potter fans. We found out a few days in advance that the event was only for teens! I was very sad. Mommy and Daddy threw our own Harry Potter weekend. We watched all the movies and ate lots of fun snacks.

Daddy made a neat schedule of events to keep us on track.
