Summer Job

Tyler has been working hard at his new job. He is in charge of cleaning up the "yard" (it is more like an organized forest) around the cabin we live in. He frequently comes home with scratches and bruises from cleaning up trees. You would be amazed to see the piles and piles of dead leaves and branches he pulls out of the "planter boxes".

Occasionally he gets asked to go out and help the crew with other properties that the Ashtons own. Lately he has been going out to "the ranch" where he is turning all his work jeans green from weed whipping so much. It has it's perks too though as we found out today. Tyler was asked to test out the zip line that runs over their pond, so today I went up to the ranch to oversee the test run.
That is the pond, which is the size of a small lake. You can see the small dock with boats next to it, and that tower in the middle is where the zip line starts.
I was gracious enough to let Tyler try it out first. It's probably about a 20-30 foot tower.














And then I decided to try it. It took me a while to work up the courage to get off the platform, but that was the scariest part, after that it was just fun!
