That is one big tumbleweed!

Today was most interesting. Our family went outside to do yard work together and we took out this HUGE weed. Dad had to chop it up into little pieces. And with what? Why, Amy's machete from Brazil of course! It was a great sight to see. When we filled the truck with the whole weed, it filled the whole truck plus one or two feet. First, Mom had to sit on it, and then Dad started jumping on it. And I actually got a picture- and video- of it!
Karmen seemed to enjoy all the time with us as well. She was jumping all over the place following us everywhere.

I loved that tumbleweed.

Go, Dad!

And of course- the video of Dad jumping. I know some of you are thinking "So what? He's just jumping..." But this video makes me happy. 'Cause it's Dad jumping. Sorry that it's in black and white. I forgot to change the settings before I took the video.
Yay for tumbleweeds.

LOL! That video makes me laugh. I don't know that I've ever SEEN Dad jump before. Hee, hee. OH, wow. You're working on the yard in JANUARY!!! LUCKIES!! What fun family time. I miss you! I'm glad my machete could be put to good use. Now just make sure you polish it up for me. *grin*

It had to be 65 degrees today! Joy to my soul! It's January and it feels like spring, and it was really happy to have everyone working in the yard. YEah - I think Dad was excited to use the Machete. I like Mom's curlers standing in the big beat up truck. It reminds me of a certain stereotype.
